Thinking differently regarding social and cultural norms


Thinking differently regarding social and cultural norms
Sometimes we get “stuck” into a certain way of thinking and problem solving based on social and cultural norms.
Some years ago, I purchased homemade soap from a friend of mine. When I went to her house to pick it up, I saw that she had saved a great deal of the soap shavings and placed them in ziplock baggies with labels. I asked her what she did with the remaining shavings, and she explained that she used it as laundry detergent. She did not add anything to it, but would place about 1/2 to 1 cup of the shavings in the washing machine if she ran out of her normal detergent. I never would have thought about doing this! She told me that her clothes did not fade, and did not require fabric softener since she used shea and coconut butter in her soap. They came out smelling great, too. All of us have grown up thinking that the only use for soap is to clean our bodies, but the reality is that, depending on the soap, there could be many other uses.
