Parasitic beliefs

A parasitic belief

Is a belief that you’ve been infected with,

Since you were born

Conditioned to believe what you’re told,

From the simplest things

Like if you pull a face and the wind changes

You are likely to stay that way,

To bigoted ideas of hate,

Like marching to war and following orders,

To believing that voting can really bring about a change,

These are parasitic beliefs

We did not conceive them,

They’re parasitic beliefs

And we’ve been infected by to many of them,

Causes innocent kids to end up corrupted

These parasitic beliefs are not what we’ve constructed,

These parasitic beliefs

Are bred into you and bred into me,

And we must recognise this

And find a way to bring about a change in us.

    Yes,we all have more or less this feeling of great or small ,good or bad,talented or less talented .It depends on how we move on and in the kind of environment we start growing.That means these are not everlasting conflicts within the mind of an individual.It can be shrugged off at any time by raising the thoughts of our mind to a higher level where we start to feel that we can be like the best person or the most talented person if we wish to be.Thanks a lot for sharing.Take care.🌹👍🙏

    Exactly. Funny thing is how few people are willing to escape their echo chamber; unwilling to accept alternatives because that would mean they were wrong all along.

    Change is hard I suppose. But complacency is suicide in slow motion.
