What is brainwashing? How does it affect our lives?
https://motivation-life.ru/uploads/posts/2015-04/1429989626_promyvanie-mozgov-2.jpg


Once I read all the books by Allen Carr, with which he quit drinking alcohol and Smoking. Moreover, I lost weight by 18 kg per code and wrote a whole book about it, although I used to lead a wrong lifestyle and was a very fat person. And when I read these books, I found the expression “Brainwashing” very cute, which Allen Carr loved to use in his manuals.


# What is it?

So, brainwashing is blind faith in a particular information that has not been tested in practice and did not lend itself to critical evaluation. The simplest example can be given with Smoking: a person sees parents with a cigarette since childhood, notices people Smoking on the street and even a wolf smokes in the famous cartoon “well, wait!" At the same time, the child constantly hears from parents that Smoking is harmful and if he is seen with a cigarette, then this teenager is waiting for punishment.

But, as they say, we believe in what we see, not what we hear. If you doubt this, then gather a few people and ask them that they do not think for a second, fulfill your request. Then lift your thumb and tell everyone at the same time: - " Lift your index finger!”

More than 80% of people will lift their thumb because they saw what you did. This explains the fact that words have little force in comparison to actions. That is why children continue to smoke. In other words, they were thoroughly brainwashed by the fact that they included cartoons “well, wait” and smoked with the child.

That is, it seems to be harmful to smoke, and cigarettes do not give any pleasure in principle, but because of brainwashing, their availability and nicotine dependence, people still smoke. Everything else is excuses smokers. For example, that they like the process of lighting, inhaling smoke, that they eliminate cigarette boredom. But a non-smoker doesn't need all that, does he?

However, in this article I will not dwell on the topic of Smoking, because now we are talking only about the blind faith from childhood in any information or what children see.

# What other examples of brainwashing can be given? Let's list on the list:


Any addiction (coffee, alcohol and other drugs)

- It's bad to change your favorite

- To enter into a dialogue with a stranger is strictly impossible

- Before marriage, you can not lose your virginity

- Children on the coffin of the owe parents

- You have to study for one five

-------------------

All of this is what we usually believe from childhood. But where is the guarantee that this should be done? In what code is it written? You will say that this knowledge should be in the head of every person, just because they are passed down from generation to generation? No, it used to be forbidden dissent, for which they could shoot. That is why people had not stand out from the General herd and continue to zombify their descendants.

For example, why did people decide that “cheating” characterizes a person as bad? If a man decided to find another woman, it means only one thing – a real partner he simply tired and in some ways it does not suit. Of course, if you openly communicate with each other, you can always work on their shortcomings. But now we are talking about the fact that if a person decided to part with his pair, he has every right to do so.

---------------------

# Communication with strangers

It was forbidden not by law, but by moral principles. Standard phrases like " Decent girls do not behave like that” have made modern girls very closed and shy, although their real feminine essence wants a completely different life...

This is pure brainwashing because if you judge like this, everyone has ever been a stranger, and now some of them have become close to each other people.

---------------------

# No sex before marriage

And this tradition in General goes from time immemorial. In our time, almost no one observes this, and here brainwashing will be small. However, there are still families who really believe that for their daughter the stamp in the passport will look like a kind of permission to sleep with the newly-made husband. I have never seen this tradition more stupid, because if a girl does not even know whether she will be satisfied with a partner in sex, then is not it risky for her to marry him?

---------------------------

# Children on the coffin of the owe parents

Not really. It would be better if the children respected their parents. But this will only be the case if the latter failed to find a spiritual contact with his child is still a child. If this does not happen, the parents have no right to demand anything from the children.

----------------------------

# You have to study for one five

Yet I was wrong when I said that the stupider tradition not to sleep with the groom before the wedding is not found. If a person learns without a single four, it is 100% means only one thing-he is afraid to get angry from parents or teachers. After all, no child understands why he even goes to school for real, because he does not see himself as an adult. "My parents told me what I should do – and what else do I have to do?"- the first-grader thinks.

On the contrary, ideally, you need to study for threes and fours to continue to work on mistakes and grow as a person. Moreover, 70-80% of the knowledge gained at school will not be useful for a person in later life. Do you see how the knowledge of the battle of Alexander the great can improve the quality of life of modern man? Yes, just getting a crust – nothing more. Which, if you look even deeper, in principle, is not necessary.

***

And there are many more examples-try to find them yourself. But one thing is for sure that if you learn to get rid of any kind of brainwashing, live consciously and as you personally like, your life will be much more interesting and rich! I think this is what you need to devote your free time, not five years of learning English, just because parents said so. Living in harmony with yourself, you will be surprised how life will dramatically change its colors in a positive way.

Realizing this to the end, you will give your children the same exciting life as you. Isn't that wonderful? You decide! And I wish you that you could not be misled any more, in other words, could not be brainwashed. Good luck!

P.S. Fortune favors the prepared.
