Unlearning
What is unlearning and why do we need it?
Unlearning is the process of freeing your mind from the known ... as in "the Matrix" what Morpheus is teaching Neo is to free his mind, in other words he is telling him to unlearn whatever he has learnt about everything he knows (the world, the rules binding the world, the people around him)
In our lives, that Neo is us. We can build upon what we have learnt .... but so many times we dont listen to something with open minds because we think we know something .... thats what we must unlearn. Lack of unlearning breeds prejudice.
We must first unlearn doubt, then unlearn fear, then unlearn the feeling of superior and inferior complexities. Only after that can we really listen to what someone else wants to say and only then can we move on to the next level of "learning".
