Frames

We live in a framework of assumptions, prejudices and preconceived notions valid or not. I think that this will more often than not always exist. The world is framed by our ideas and the experiences we have in it. They are sometimes incorrect but mostly they just are.

What is important is to understand what they are and how it affects us and why we think them. And not allow the frame to limit the ideas and actions which can happen. And sometimes it is valuable to think a certain way because many others don't and can't. To often these frameworks limit solution and hinder gains but without these frameworks we can have no common understand of each other. When we play a game of rock paper scissors, we set the frame to agree to a bid by the rules and play fair. This is good. But we need to be careful when the goal and the rules of the game change.
