The theory of conditioning

This new theory of conditioning is expanding in my head. i cant help but notice that everywhere i go, everything has been conditioned. the people we hang out with. the movies we see. the foods we eat. the religions we choose to follow. everything. its as if we had no say in the person we are now. we did not choose to be the way we are. our parents conditioned us. whos parents conditoned them. and their parents conditioned them. it goes on forever. and when will it end? i doubt any time soon. people are very comfortable these days. and they are also very afraid to step outside the line that has been drawn for them. i want to draw my own line. i want my line to be erasable. you dont have to like what i like. do me a favor and dont follow what i do.

I'd say 99% of us are comfortable in our delusions. I shudder to think what would happen if we all suddenly woke up. Though it has been a wish of mine to recognizing...knowing...in the eyes of everyone else I pass by, the truth is, the world probably isn't ready to handle just yet.

You've made your point, and a good one at that. It's comforting to see at there are some in this world that can handle it. Revel in being awake. Well stated, and an inspiring read.
