BLIND FAITH
When we know nothing about some subject, we put faith - trust - in
someone who is trained and experienced in that field, e.g. when our car stops working we go to a
professional mechanic to get it repaired, Similarly, when we have some symptoms of an illness we go
to a good doctor for its evaluation and treatment. Even in such situation we do not stop using our
rational judgement. If one expert's remedy does not produce desired result we seek another expert's
opinion.
when we follow some popular belief without any reflection or
use of our intelligence, we are resorting to blind faith, Trying to cure covid-19 by applying cow dung
over one's body, drinking cow urine, performing some ritual in front of fire or loud oration of some
mantras are examples of blind faith. Such unscientific temperament is dangerous for the safety of
an individual as well as for the well being of any society.
