Thats our nature. We are born wired like this. Thats the only way to survive and function by categorizing, compartmentalizing, generalizing, deleting, etc. Or else you have to keep learning and figuring out how did you learn programming and internet in the first place, all over again. With that human intelligence comes its effect. As such, sometimes the generalization and categorization spills over other things we do, hence how we "cement" our idea and become stubborn or self-fulfilling in seeing only what we want to see. We can talk about it, be aware of it, and reason over it. But we cannot about it, thats what we are, naturally. Only when we "rise" above ourselves and THINK again.

I can be happy on a daily basis just being around my dogs or dancing in my kitchen to music. And it was only six days that the world was made in. He designated the seventh day to rest - while the rest of us have to get up and go to church - NOT FAIR. ;-) I’m a pretty simple person, but I don’t mind admitting that because complicated people seem to have a lot of stress and negativity in their lives.

I think that if we retain some of that childlike wonder, we'll always learn new things ... wouldn't that make you happy ?
