One of the problems of most human beings is that they have ideas they are unwilling to revise and possibly change. It’s possible that you, too, believe that you are always right, that what you think is correct, that your opinions are the most logical ones and that no-one has the right to challenge them because you “know” they are right. As long as you are convinced of this, neither change nor improvement are possible. You have locked yourself in a castle of righteousness (your beliefs) and you have surrounded it with a thick wall (certitude that you are never wrong). Therefore, you feel secure inside such barrier and you don’t realize that, in so doing, you prevent yourself from being free to explore, to move around, to learn. Why is it so? It is so because you are afraid of what is new, different, unfamiliar. Your well-tested ideas make you feel comfortable because you “know” them, because they don’t present you with any uncertainty. You feel you are walking on safe ground.
