GET OUT OF THE BOX

We know what happens when we only talk to people who think like we do. You have heard of Christians who will only listen to their leaders and no other, even discussions among themselves is not allowed. They read only books by their leaders, attend teachings and meetings only by their leaders, read bibles by their leaders. They lock every body else and every other thought out. We should broaden our minds by getting what others think and say about this or that. Different religion, race, political stand, it doesn’t matter, we can all learn from one another. If we get ourselves locked in our small thoughts and beliefs and not subject that to scrutiny by considering carefully what the Bible says or what others says, we look like mad people or we appear fools. We just get more stuck in our ways, more divided, and it gets harder to come together for a common purpose. I read a story where a fish meets with other fishes and asks them, how is the water where you have come from? There is some quietness so the inquiring fish moves on. Then one fish turns to the others and asks them: What in hell is called water? These fishes lives in and survives in water yet they have never sought to know the name of this liquid they live in. Pst. Elijah.
