Invisible shame

Ever answer a question with "It's just wrong"? Is so, please continue reading.

I have been doing some thinking about the human mind and it's tendencies. I've notice something interesting. People will say something is wrong without reason simply because that's what they've heard.

Now picking examples of this that are SFW [1] is kind of difficult. But let's take eating cereal without any milk as an example. Why don't people do it? Because they were always shown to put milk on it. I'll eat cereal without milk. It still tastes the same. It has a better crunch too. Sure it's a bit dry but it's still pretty good.

Now think for a second. Thin k of something you disagree with. Some ideal you have that you stick by. Now think "why?". If the answer is "it's just wrong to/not to", read this article again.

It really is a pe peeve of mine when people can't provide a logical excuse for their actions. It really doesn't make sense to hold onto outdated ideals. They can really hold one back from even trying things. So, give stuff a try, break some old ideals. Think, think you ****ing sheep.

If this article is hoping all over the place and doesn't make much sense, drop me a line.
Cheers.

[1] SFW: Safe for work, meaning appropriate for children, etc.
