Ideology

Ideology means following certain ideas to create a better world or how the world should be like. This can be religious, political or how we treat each other. 

The problem, with an ideology is that it tends to discard or rationalize anything counter to it.  

Ideology can be deeply ingrained into our person. Thus we might hate anything counter to our own ideas. At the same time we love our own views. 

Another problem is admitting that your views might be pretty bad. Come on, the world is pretty big and nobody has really hit the nail on the head, not even the scientists.

There isn't a real fix to this problem. A lot of emotions accompany a certain view and we get stuck in it irrespective it is a bad view or a good one. It's almost like we have to build a kinds Noah's Arc and let old ideas drown. 

Although we might never really get 100% clarity of mind, it might help to look the other way and hope you don't turn into a pillar of salt... you probably won't!
