As I age, see my own faults and those of the world (which have helped create and shape my own) the conditioning and the systems we are place in become more and more evident.
Sometimes I find it very difficult to fight, how about y'all? Take sex for example, the media and other sources are rapidly and continually creating the way we view sex, and the sexes. Especially when seen through a child's perspective.
It tells us to go and LOOK your best, not BE your best, and to find the BEST looking counterpart, not necessarily the most appropriate, best fitting and most complimentary to your dynamic.
We base everything on the way it glitters and shines and end up with cubic zirconium. Even this board is centered around a frivolous CULTure.
This pokes and prods my mind quite often but more so lately.
I was with some friends and we were having the classic discussion...women.. and I said the words i've probably said a million times "*+++ #+@!%+%"...or "F____ B_____ES"
and I started wondering "W T F is wrong with me? I didn't even want to say that...in reality I don't even think that way"
Y'all ever feel, even momentarily, limited by your conditioning?
The good thing about being human is that...even though it is a difficult task, we can re-wire ourselves and re-program our programming.
