RE: How Freud made you smoke and eat bacon!

in #blog7 years ago

So so true!! I've always considered the masses as sheep...seriously! Thanks to our consumeristic (if that's not a word, it should be haha) society, 'everyone' thinks they must have all the brand new and improved shiny whatever that comes on the market.

When I was teaching seniors, nearing graduation the talk would always be 'what are you doing next'? After hearing so many say they were going to college/university, get a job, get married, have kids, get a dog or cat, a house, white picket fence...blah blah blah. Finally one day I asked them "why?". They couldn't answer that simple question. Then I would ask them, "who's they"?, because their answers always included something like, "that's what they do". Finally they began to realise the brainwashing that had been going on since practically birth. It was always so interesting to see the lightbulbs going on!

So...thank you for a great blog. Perhaps if we keep saying it, people may eventually hear:) Cheers!

There will always be a great burden to analize yourself..nobody finds that enjoyable since we are creatures of habbit and stupid optimsim..but nevertheless that is what keeps us going..we were meant that way and should continue doing so, but every now and then we should stop and consider some things and ask ourselfs questions..it might help..thanks for stopping by..keep in touch my friend!

So true! And you're welcome...I'm happy to be one of your 'active' followers :) Thank you for considering me your friend; I feel the same!
