The stories we tell ourselves enough time and we start believing them. It’s really important and required to stay focused on it, though sometimes we should critically think about those or discuss it openly and calibrate the beliefs. It doesn’t really happen if you don’t take time to think about it. (some are not even focused, but we don’t even take time to think about them.) Those are invisible scripts.
Few things which we are kind of given without much of choice
-
Nationality
-
Religion
-
Name
We never get a chance to choose or we don’t have any say in it. That means we hardly think about it and accept and move on. – There are other invisible scripts which are given to us based on the environment we grow up in – (though I don’t subscribe to all, I am here taking liberty to list from my observation)
Some of the items below are specific to Indian culture.
-
you hardly question parents, teachers and elderly
-
liquor is bad
-
arrange marriage (asian tradition – again, its updated lot in recent years)
-
what you study in engineering or medical for 4 or 5 years, dedicate your entire life to that type of work (mostly)
-
Always taking blessings from elders, sometimes from whom we don’t even respect
