ISM is simply one's school of thought, which is nurtured or acquired as one grows up, depending on the bringing up, tradition, culture, education, exposure and other social factors that add up and enhance the thinking. We do share it with few or many others. This makes us lucky in a way.......we get to put across our thoughts, gather further knowledge, discuss the issues and clarify any doubts. Thus, the ISM must be able to open up our minds and widen the scope of thinking.
The relevant conversations and analyses not only further the understanding of our own ISM, but also intensify our respect for other branches of thought which mean the same to the respective followers. Our inclusive and accommodative behavior indicate such a comprehensive awareness. However, when this same ISM sends the signals of superiority or inferiority, fanatISM, dogmatISM or sadISM; thereby separating us from the other fellow beings and going against its very purpose (narrowing down the thinking), don't you think it is time to re-think??!!
