The Nut House

Not at all due to overwhelming response on my poll, I will write another blog entry.

My topic of the day is "prejudice".
Has anyone else experienced how well it works?

Our mind and memory is very seldom accurate in the way it stores information.
What you see and learn today is actually coloured from your previous experiences,
and what interests you goes more easily into the long-term memory than small incidences
that you did not understand or care about, and therefore forgot very fast.

So; Go into life full of prejudice and the world will actually feel much simpler to
deal with, because you notice only what you already have been thinking! What you read in the newspapers will just be more information supporting what you already knew, and when you listen
to a debate or participate in a discussion at work, you will later remember what you already knew, and agreed on for ages. Imagine the self content you will feel, when you are always
right,



....because you chose not to remember or understand what you did not want to deal with.
