Minute Paper 2/12

In today’s class we where ask if it is easier to destroy something physical or something mental, this got me I asking the question, “Can we destroy mental real estate?” I’ve thought this question over a bit and I have come to the conclusion of not exactly. We without a doubt can repress or deny parts of our mental real estate but it will always be some ware in the depths of our minds. Just look at the spread of Christianity and the changes different cultures have made to it. Each one, after excepting it and supposedly replacing their old beliefs, but even with these new ideas taking the place of their old religions they don’t die away, they simply reshape themselves becoming integrated with their new beliefs.
