Leave Your Information at The Door
![Information.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQoQJcK4qroAdwrUVmkiEUL9xeVxw6v7gFmEkwEmo9MFn/Information.jpg)

<h1><center>Leave Your Information at The Door</center></h1>

You can find information everywhere, from libraries to any corner of the internet thus we, as humans are being overwhelmed by information and we do not know what’s right and what is just some simple mass-media bullshit to lure us into their consumerism thinking.

Because information is met everywhere the chances that you pick up something wrong or outdated are humongous thus you can never be sure that what you’re saying is true.

When you enter into any argument, debate or even a friendly discussion, you should let your information out the door and have an open mind about the subject because you may not always be right.

To give you an example, after someone finishes med school or how it’s called, after ten years of studying the information they have learned in college is more or less outdated since there are discoveries in this field every single day, something new gets created, updated, discovered. Thus, if the doctors stick to what they have learned in college their technique in that field may be either useless or just inefficient since the new methods are so much better.

Also, having the information in your consciousness may make you end up in a situation where you judge and maybe even exclude someone just because the information they consider as being correct is not the same as yours thus a conflict takes place.

<h1><center>Keep an Open Mind</center></h1>

You don’t have to do what I’m saying since I may or may not be right, who knows but you should still consider letting your information out the door. At least when you get in a new environment and keep an open mind even if the people you’re talking with have entirely different opinions than you do.

You see, information is useful, and all but too much of it can blind people and transform them into the slaves of that information by putting them in a box they cannot transcend because they are too caught up in their game.

I’ll give you another example, this one is met everywhere, and before I get any further, I want to mention that I do not necessarily support any of the groups since both are sometimes only some stubborn fuckers that cannot see past their limitations, atheists, and religious people. The thing is that atheists proclaim that God does not exist and religious people think that it does exist and both of them have valid arguments. But the problem is that none of them can see past their cult and realize that they only suppose they are right when in fact they have no idea what is the truth. I don’t have any idea either but if you want to know more about this subject feel free to read [THIS](https://steemit.com/philosophy/@guyfawkes4-20/the-purpose-of-life) old article of mine.

I do think that information is power and if you’re uninformed the powerful can abuse you easily, but the situation is not that simple. Knowledge is good but not always. You can go in an amazing garden filled with nature, trees, and waterfalls, and try to observe a flower but because you have information your mind will already start to judge it. „It’s a red flower, oh, wait, it’s a rose actually,” and that information can take you with the mind elsewhere, to a story maybe and you soon don’t look at the flower anymore but at its characteristics.

The flower may or may not be red because the color is just some light waves that are floating around when in fact the flower has no color thus because you start to „judge” the flower you miss on her beauty. Instead of looking at the characteristics, look at the flower, through the flower directly at the beauty.

<center>![Guy break.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXbKPNNwkg9c3JvqxX5nUZ13ChLeiaDiFCUdC4nFVPtto/Guy%20break.png)</center>

<h1><center>Conclusion</center></h1>

As I said, information is essential especially in this crazy and modern world we live in, just imagine how insane it would be not to know the way back to your house or your name, but information is not always useful.

Don’t ditch it all but sometimes try to be like a dumb person, without information and instead of judging the thing, the flower, the idea, try to look at it and understand it. By having an open and clear mind, without having a prejudice against something you will be able to surpass your limitations.

https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/02/13/08/54/brain-2062048_1280.jpg

Having prejudices about some things may be useful and prove efficient sometimes, like if you know that neighborhood is dangerous and you shouldn’t go there because you may end up in trouble but sometimes by holding prejudices you may miss on so many things.

Keep an open mind, don’t limit yourself.

Great point. When we have no expectations things tend to go pretty well. May be having no information on a matter helps us have no expectations. It is always good to look outside the box too. Very insightful post I think people should start thinking this way more. An open mind is always better than a stubborn one... Have A Good One. Peace. Thanks for sharing.

I sometimes finish my post with 'don't be limited'. So you, i do love this post. There is nothing like an open minded being with just the right amount of prejudice.

I have seen this, but worst, because what I have seen several times is ignorant people talking about things they don’t understand, and making affirmations like if they were experts!

Now, about having too much information that ends up blinding our perception, I believe some economists (small ones, not huge millionaires) are another excellent example. They all received an education about money coming from the government and when you change this, they just cannot accept it and refuse it. A “scam”they said...

I've learned that lesson talking to an acquaintance a couple of years ago on Facebook. While we may see eye to eye on very little the discussions we've had have at least broadened my view on things while neither of us have been able to change the others views on any topic to date.

If I was to add to this I would say that 

Ever since I was young I’ve been told by my elders that their greatest regret was that they never listened and learned from the people around them.

They thought they knew everything at age 18, and began to make mistakes they could’ve avoided if they just learned from others!

I try to listen even though I’m not perfect, but the sad thing is that those same people refused to listen to me about crypto for years. Now they want to get involved but hesitate to take action. 

It all came full circle in my opinion haha Great post!

Thank you. Haha, I see the irony in that, it seems like some people never learn and keep making the same mistakes over and over again, lol. I've been telling people about Steem for the last six months and now that they saw how much I make they all got in, but they are missing on some great rewards because they are too small, too new.

There is sooo much information at there it can really hurt your progress. What I do is focus on reading and from the most recommended books on the planet. Each one gives me such great insight that you cannot argue. That would be my advice.
