Unadaptable Thoughts and Negative Behaviors

Thought has a special status as the infrastructure of human behavior; to reinforce and reform behavior and identify its defects, it is necessary to identify thoughts. In view of the fact that thought is considered to be a formative, essential and useful axis, the present study poses the following question: 'Can we evaluate any thought as useful and formative, or there are also destructive and harmful thoughts that we must identify them and control their interference in the process of thinking?' The present study uses an analytical and descriptive method based on religious and psychological sources. It aims at investigating harmful and maleficent thoughts, such as closed thought, superstitious thought, and negative thoughts and mentalities called 'unadaptable thoughts'. The results show that unadaptable thoughts distance human being from the reality in the world, lead him astray, and become a mirage endangering him. Thus, we must defy emergence and survival of such thoughts. Methods for confronting disturbing thoughts depend on the type of the thought and a comparison of rational and irrational beliefs removable or controllable by concentrating on strong points.
