You become inflexible and intolerant if you believe that your hard and fast rules (belief systems) with their fixed positions are the only valid and true points of view. It is impossible to remain relaxed and fluid in your relationships, work or religious convictions when you work from an inflexible and stubborn data base. Your life will develop into a series of disputes and conflicts. You see the world through your “world” frame of mind. Anything that fails to fit into your “frame” must be wrong, defective and immoral. Our belief systems dictate the quality of life that we build for ourselves. Inflexibility and stubborn insistence can lead to fanatical behaviour when it comes to religion and politics.
Rene
Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance you must keep moving.
