When Information Makes us Intolerant - (2780)

Example

For example, we hear from a person who knows about the body that to have something sweet for breakfast is bad for our health. Then we see our parents eating jam or jelly on toast and we get annoyed and say:" you should not be eating that, eat Greek yoghurt!".

Obviously, when are annoyed or angry or intolerant or impatient like this, something is wrong. Something is definitely wrong in us, I personally don't like to be like that at all. Time to investigate and work.


Observations

Some observations to note are that when we are intolerant in relation to some bit of information, it is becasue we have not made it consciousness yet. When we experience the truth of that bit of information we stop being intolerant and we become understanding instead, and when we are understanding we are flexible.

Another observation is that we think that bit of information is true, or is the absolute best. It may not be the best for everyone, like our parents. It could be a very relative thing.

Conclusion 

In short, don't let some information we hear, even esoteric information turn you into a rigid, irritable, and intolerant person, that one if does not stop there, one will become unbearable for others.

End (2780).
