Getting Used To Bad Actions...

Alot of times it happens to us that when we go to a new place, we immediately point out things which we feel are bad in that society. Alot of times we keep reminding ourselves that we should keep our distance from those bad activities and consider them bad, but with time when we regularly come across those bad things we do not feel them bad as intensely as we felt them at the first place. It sometimes seems as if we have got used to them and do not consider them as bad as we used to think before.

For example, alot of people easily get used to the bad language used by others in their daily life. They might not use it themselves but it does not sound very bad to them if someone uses those abusive words infront of them, due to which when very angry they themselves use those words in front of their elders like parents etc and than realize that they should have kept reminding themselves that those were bad actions or words and they should have kept their distance from people who frequently use those language, as they are influencing people in a certain way. It actually happened to one of my colleagues. He said he won’t be able to forgive himself for that word he used in front of his parents by mistake.

**How do you keep reminding yourself and prevent yourself from getting used to of bad actions which are happening around you. ?

By getting used to I mean that you start to feel them “normal” actions

I personally think one of the solutions can be “Encouraging good and discouraging bad” because by doing this we are also reminding ourselves which activites we should make part of our habbit and which ones to avoid. Also by saying an abusive word again and again even in a joke makes it fluent to our tongue and makes it difficult to control ourselves from saying them when we are angry. Same goes for other bad activities.

Re: Getting Used To Bad Actions...

Tru, i agree.... it's all about encouraging and focusing on good habits and discouraging bad....which is definetly easier said than done...but i think it helps to communicate with others and get the message across in your personal group of friends / social circle...
