Your opinion, where does it come from???

Hi Y'all,

In the world today there seems to be a big anti opinion slant to most people's attitudes. Mention the word "Trump" or "Clinton" in the US and you will get an instant barrage of hate or adoration. So where do all these people get these opinions from?

Their brain of course. Whatever you experience by any sense you have, the brain will analyse it and give you what your opinion is. No need to think about it, just blurt it out.

If you are a moron that's what you do so you may conclude there are way too many morons who just react before they even know what they've said or done.

A lot of our experiences are built on our first 5 years of life. What we experience in that age range and what our parents WANT us to know. I will say here that so many religious believers come from this process. Mummy and/or Daddy or both have told you God exists, God is great (if you are being trained as a suicide bomber usually), etc. and, as a young child you just absorb that and most never question that again.

Just one such example but everything we experience is absorbed into our knowledge bank and our brain will use it when anything relevant appears to you, in any way.

Another example. Trump. My instant opinion is "That is the worst hair I've ever seen, gotta be a rug." Then my brain says "What sort of idiot would wear his hair like that, in public?"  Ever since I first saw him on TV that's my opinion of him and all his ranting during his campaign have done nothing but confirm that early opinion. Say "Clinton" to me and my mind says "Corrupt and cigars".

So your opinion isn't something you think about much and most people NEVER do. First impressions make the end opinion, immediately.

If we all operated that way, all the time, the world would never have changed from when we first walked upright. You must learn to question your opinion, find where you decided what you did, and then decide if it really is valid. Often it is exactly what you think and know. But, with religion, that early brainwashing does so much damage to this planet yet the believers never question it. No logic, no facts. Just "I LUV GAWD".

When your brain feeds you what your opinion is, how about you actually wait to speak or act and think about that opinion. Where did you get it and is it still true, or even ever true?

In summary. Try thinking. It's a great thing to do and you'll actually be quite shocked by what rubbish you have collected in your mind and use as a basis for how you operate in daily life.
