Beliefs that Chain Us

​When we grow up in a certain environment, we come to believe that our environment is normal and that everyone lives as we live. This is also true for a religious environment. Growing up with a set of religious beliefs that are restrictive in nature can imprison us. We might not realize that we are chained to a set of beliefs that might not be the whole truth. As long as we do not know that we are in chains, we will not try to break them.
