Content: In contrast, others are instilled inside us by our own experiences. For example, if a police officer mistreated you one time, you might develop a belief that all police are unfair. More extreme experiences can even create phobias. These beliefs drive our attitude and behavior toward others. You don’t have to look far to see the effects our beliefs about others have upon the world. Think about politics and religion, where the polarization of ideas generates strong and powerful opinions about the “other” side. More often than not, those ideas morph into actions, oftentimes aggressive. Of course, the assumptions about others are also a result and a projection of our beliefs about ourselves. If you think of yourself as unlucky because you haven’t had success in your career, you might conclude that anyone else who is successful is, in fact, lucky. Replace “lucky” with any other adjective, and you can see how easy you might morph the thing that you believe you don’t have into an opinion about those who “have” it.
