You might have wondered why, given a
particular stimulus, the possible reactions to it are endless, as almost
infinite are the programs that might have been activated in the brain. From the
moment you are born, in fact, your mind undergoes
a never ending absorption of information whose aim is to educate it, molding it
in agreement with the accepted values of whatever society you live in. This information,
that you get from different but equally powerful sources such as school,
family, religion and social environment, build a sort of screen around your
brain. Thus, you find yourself fully conditioned, programmed to give precise
answers to particular stimuli. The principles your parents instilled in you,
the notions your teachers taught you, the way others behave, even an image seen
or a word heard by chance, have contributed to enrich your mental “computer”. Now it’s up
to you to decide what is worth keeping and what is not.
