Open-Minded and Chained-Minded (21)
We are all bound in the chains of our own thoughts. Some people break these chains and fly high in the open sky.

Show me the evidence. I don't listen to blah, blah, blah without evidence. How open-minded are you and how chained-minded are you?
Evidences are used to erase all doubts.

I don't know what my childhood ideology was. Apathy? I was a 90s kid which was where the west, the enlightenment, the idea of thinking for yourself had scaled the heights of history and thought it was safe - therefore no one really did that anymore. In this century, in my adult life, liberalism is dead and the world is in a state of confusion, the multitudes are marching for their dictators and nothing works anymore. This isn't what I wanted with my childhood ideology but it is what I expected. I never did believe in the end of history - that Americanised earth where the whole world feels like the 1990s forever. That's one of the reasons why I got a proper job.How open-minded are you and how chained-minded are you?

Suffice it to say that all I now know is that I know nothing. As a younger man I could tell you how the future would be, but I couldn't tell you now what 2040 is going to look like. We are now living in an historic, decisive hour that determines the course of history. But I grew up in a period where the destination of the near future was determined by the momentum of the past. Where we are today could never have been any other way, but where we go now is not decided yet which is what it means to live in an historic hour.

Rebel from the moment I was born! How open-minded are you and how chained-minded are you?
I even demanded study courses that I was told didn't exist but which I insisted upon when we had study guidance sessions at my secondary. It is through my insistance that my study guidance teacher discovered that in fact what I wanted to study DID exist and one of the courses was in none other but the A Level school where they wanted me to study some boring subjects so I could be a trilingual secretary. My stubborness and refusal to follow 'gende trends' of those times opened new study doors for all students in the years that followed as the school was now aware of a new study path.
I'm still rather proud of myself for that.

Ideologies give direction to our lives. Wrong ideology can lead us in the wrong direction.
Knowingly and unknowingly, we have been holding on to many ideologies since childhood, which our elders have been telling us.
for example:
I was an atheist earlier because I was a student of science. I always used to weigh everything with the scale of logic. Then later I realise that life does not just run on logic, faith/belief is also needed. Then later I became a theist. But in theism, everything revolves around God. All the people were engaged in pleasing God in their own way with different names. This ideology of keeping God happy started dominating me too. Then the question arose in my mind that if God also feels happiness-sadness, respect-insult, pity-anger etc., then what is the difference between God and human beings? Then I left theism and became open-minded. Now I become whatever is needed, sometimes I become a believer, sometimes I become an atheist. Depending on the situation and the mind state of that time, I hold on to an ideology, I hold on to it as long as it is needed.
I now weigh things on the scales of both truth and belief. I have no covetousness with God that he will being happy give something to me, nor I have any fear that he will take anything away from me in anger. Because being happy or angry is a human tendency, not a divine instinct.
