Forget What You Have Learned
Learn to forget is a good step in getting new and useful learning, especially when we walked on the rocky road of ethics, values and norms of social coexistence. This is what experts call “unlearn” a term that the dictionary defines as “forget”. However, this short definition leaves out a fundamental fact: unlearn requires a conscious effort, as there is a weakness of memory but a voluntary act by which the individual achieves his memories removed obsolete knowledge, unnecessary or harmful. Henceforth we will refer to the need to eliminate the learning that today are harmful not only for the individual but to the environment in which it operates. Let us note that a good variety of anti-values are embedded in the collective unconscious mimicked in proverbs or sayings which teaching and no one questioned content. It is time to initiate the questioning, forgetting …
the effort to unlearn. The school and the family should be eradicated for example, beliefs as “a hair of the dog”, through which someone feels he was betrayed with authority to act similarly to who betrayed him in a typical invitation to the most despicable of vengeance, as if all the vengeance. Another common saying, candidate for deletion, is “making papaya, papaya departure.” The phrase has a dangerous content because it is an encouragement to take advantage of the weaknesses and omissions of others without considering the effects that this behavior can bring who acts and who, inadvertently or otherwise, incurred in the regrettable mistake of “giving papaya. ” Who takes the “papaya” or in some cases, “the papayazo” laughs and celebrates, while others suffer and, incidentally start looking the opportunity of revenge. The preceding sentences are not alone. At his side would have to write other like, “He who sins and prays ties,” which makes me pay me “,” San Juan is now the party going, “thief thief who steals a hundred years of forgiveness” “Things are not the owner but of those who needs, “the end justifies the means” (what a terrible Machiavellian principle, etc.). In our country we have the obligation to eradicate the belief that we can act in any way because “… we are in Colombia” (or Venezuela), as whether this was a pass to behave like cavemen.
