what of those who accept the myths and prejudices and superstitions of
their youth… what about those who never overcome their indoctrination
of childhood…how are they overcoming? it is not just a physical
overcoming but overcoming our childhood training and indoctrination
that society places in our heads from the very first day of birth and lasting a
lifetime…those myths and prejudices and habits and superstitions that
society implants within us every day of our childhood… part
of overcoming is overcoming that childhood training and indoctrination…
to overcome means to overcome all aspects of life…we must overcome
or we are unable to escape our limitations… we become trapped by our
limitations and are unable to grow and become more…human…
a person who walks the same ground everyday never learns any other
part of the land outside of the area he walks…he becomes
limited in the very area he walks… to become human, we must
walk in new areas and new paths everyday… we cannot be limited
and walk the exact same path every day… we must become free
of our limitations, be it overcoming our myths and habits and prejudices
and superstitions of our youth or be it overcoming our hearing loss
or our status in society…
the path is to overcome… what are you overcoming?
