You cannot blame people for the defects they cannot control. Why would you blame a colorblind person for being colorblind?

Same thing exactly with understanding/perception/comprehension. People are born the way they are. See what they see, hear what they hear, think what they think. They aren't responsible for any of it. It is their capacities/inadequecies/strenghs that determine all and they have no control over it whatsoever. They had no choice. They were born that way.  D'ya suppose we should cut one another some slack since we aren't responsible for what/whom we are? If you must place blame with anyone blame the first set of parents whose DNA set the template. How far back do we go? As far as we hafta go which is?

      Are you worried that we hold your faults against you?  Don't be: we've grown accustomed to you.

    No.  That is a myth.  Many people can grow.  They just don't realize how. 

    They are stuck.  It has zero to do with colorblindness and everything to do with habit.  When someone tries to control the mind and does not know how, the mind controls the person.

    People tell themselves they have no artistic talent when in truth most people do.  They don't know how to learn the skill.

    Same with singing.  You may not sound like Adele, but you won't hurt anyone's ears if you learn how to use the voice.  It is a learned skill.

    Same with phobias.  If you want to tell yourself you are terrified of dogs  because of something that happened once decades ago?  Do you think you really need that anymore?  I mean someone that was bit once by some dog and now holds it against all dogs forever.  Isn't that insane?  But people do it.  They don't even know how not to. 



    If one man scares you are you going to be afraid of all men forever?  Same thing.

    Phobias are tricks of the mind and ego to keep you in pain until you learn the lesson to let go and let awareness in.  Awareness that you need not fear dogs, men or anything really.
