Chained Minds
I get to see different people everyday, each one is different in the sense they think differently, they behave differently, and above all they approach same problem differently. But, they can be grouped in 3different groups;
(1) people who are intellectuals.
(2) Others who are educated (with basic education)_,
(3) and a few uneducated ones.
What do we expect from the group 3? Of course these people cannot understand basic science facts. they cannot think about their problems rationally. Group (1) people approach their problems in a more rational way. But, what shall we expect of the 2nd group?
This group constitutes the 70 percent of Indian society, and out of this 70 percent only 15% people carry their reasoning along with them, bestowed by their preliminary education.
The rest of 55% people have shut down their minds and ,though, called educated in terms of certificates, they lack that educated mind.
Their mind lacks reasoning. It accepts ages old superstitions. It thinks the same way as it has been conditioned by the society. It believes the same miracles, same beliefs, carry on with the same concepts as believed by their ancestors. Is it that they are not capable of reasoning? No, they can question what they don’t believe in, but, they simply don’ t want to accept new ideas, they want to carry on with their own beliefs, and they are comfortable doing it.
radio, television, or internet, whatsoever they heed to, they are not willing to absorb new ideas, to open their minds to a new mindset, and to accept the changing world. They have chained their minds and do not allow it to progress and think differently from the crowd.
Chained minds rust.
In order to grow, we need to develop our mind. Mind that think with a different perspective. A mind which says no to all the superstitions and false beliefs, and a mind that bestows courage to stand up and challenge social norms. A mind with the wisdom of what is right and with the perseverance to prove itself.
This will bring the revolution. This will bring progress. This will bring out many more scholars and a new outlook for our society.
