so the problem of existence…
what rules/laws are we going to indoctrinate our children with?
“all perceptions are colored by emotions”
conservatives believe in a set of rules/laws that colors their
perception of the universe/reality…
their “emotions” are colored by their indoctrination of the rules/laws
of society/universe/reality……
so, what rules/laws are conservatives indoctrinated with?
the idea of a fixed/set universe…of their being a god,
of the notion that human beings have a set and fixed
nature… once a person is born, they are fixed in either
being “good” or “evil”…………human beings cannot change their
nature is a perception of conservatives………
our understanding of reality/universe determines in large
part what the universe is…
and we indoctrinated children with our understanding of reality/universe…
we color their perceptions with emotions/myths/prejudices, that we teach them,
that we indoctrinate them with…….
so we indoctrinate children with the capitalistic idea that all human beings
are selfish, greedy, lusting after… the rules/laws we teach/indoctrinate children
with are colored by our emotions which we were indoctrinate with as children…
so how to break this cycle?
the enlightenment answer was to think for oneself, not to bow down
to authority, to question everything, to become aware of the myths,
and ism’s and prejudices and superstitions we were taught as children…
and this is solid advice… become aware of and understand your
biases and ism’s and myths, you hold and act upon………
as your perceptions are colored by emotions……
so to escape being held hostage by emotions and biases
and myths and prejudices you were indoctrinated with…
you must first become aware of them…….
now, we know, yes, know that as we grow, we change
all the time… the myths and biases we were taught as children
change, for example, we are taught that Santa Claus exists
and that the Easter Bunny exists and that there is a tooth
fairy that bring us money for each tooth we lose…
but we learn, become aware of, this indoctrination that
there is no such thing as the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy
or Santa Claus… we outgrow these myths…….and we are
none the worse for wear for outgrowing these myths……
and this is where conservatives fail… they fail to understand
that we do grow and learn and change every single day in
our understanding of who we are and what is possible…
we are not fixed and determined in our relationship with
the rules/laws or in terms of our relationship with the
universe/reality………….we can change and become something
new and it is all right…
“all perceptions are colored emotions”
we just have new emotions which change our perceptions
of the universe/reality…………
the human being is not fixed and determined as perceived
by the conservative…
we change all the time as we grow… our very aging process
brings about change… I am different today, at age 59,
then I was at age 29 and just because I am 59 and not 29…
the very fact I am 59 changes my or colors my perceptions
of the universe/reality………it requires nothing else to happen
but for me to grow old and that changeds my emotions…which
colors my perceptions………
so the very laws/rules of our life changes as we grow because
our situation changes, we grow old…… we cannot hold
our youthful perceptions because we are no longer young……
