[Xmca-l] Re: The Mindset.

[Annalie Pistorius]

Hello Harshad,

There is Eugene Marais in South Africa who studied baboons and termites with 
a similar question re “the soul of the ape/ant” – group behaviour that is 
created rather than instinctual, with interesting theorising (I must read 
myself). We need to shift our mindset to not separate man from animal, 
appreciating interconnectedness and relationality perhaps, and this writer 
was writing in this way. The second link will take you to a PDF file.

But it looks like maybe you are asking how we do things contrary to the good 
judgement and abilities that we have. Maybe you can clarify for us a 
particular dilemma you have in mind, how you see this mindset, is it 
something such as even though people have empathy and social skills, they 
have a mindset that justifies them to hurt some people to reach their goals?

Regards

Annalie

Hi all,

You will agree that no man in this world is free from his mindset that he 
developed during the journey of his growth from childhood to his prevailing 
age. His mindset plays an influential role while he deals with outside 
world. Even if the person has competent abilities, his mindset may not 
permit the application of his appropriate abilities at right time and on 
event, as if it (mindset) is a filter put before application of abilities. 
Presently I am working on it and I need your help at one point.



"Do animals have mindset or they are free from it?"



with true regards,



Harshad Dave
