Duble think – having two opposing beliefs and believing both are true. Believing in lies knowing that they are false.
This double think strategy is used my many corporates and media for marketing their products or sell an ideology to common people.
Example are like,
i need to be wealthy to be happy
i need likes on social media to be loved
i need to be pretty to be noticed
i need power and control to be respected
i need to have expensive gadgets for people to value me
i need to eat and stay at luxurious resorts to have nice time
We need to protect ourselves from these marketing and powerful forces from dumbing down and duling the experience of life. What can we do to improve our critical thinking. We need to read, we need to expose ourselves to critical thinkers, we need to be critical on overselves and what we are exposed to, we need to develop beliefs of life that works for us and that works in our best interests, we need to program ourselves with empowering information and have wisdom to apply it life, develop the conscious and rationality to not fall for anything that is marketed in media or social media, as a citizen and voter , develop critical thinking to analyze the agenda of political parties and leaders that run our government to take right decision.
When we feel helpless, hopeless, dependent, desperate we lose the ability of critical thinking and stop striving to be self-reliant. When we neglect our wellbeing, when we ignore the true meaning of our life, when we stop pursuing our passion and purpose in life, when we abuse our gifts, when we don’t realize our true potential, when we fell like a victim and live in self-pity, when we lie to ourselves to stay in our comfort zone, when we give up on improving ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually – This way we will not feel the true sense of divine power.
