Getting Out of The Cage (Part 1)

                                        

You often act without using your power of rational thinking. You have been taught to consider yourself as an empty container which needs to be gradually filled up. Such teaching has been carried out by education and by all the conditionings you have continuously endured by society and environment. Many are the prohibitions you received since childhood. Many are the injunctions given you to do specific things only because the current fashion, politeness or the accepted customs require such behaviour.You are caged, imprisoned in a strangulating net of "do" and "don't do", "say" and "don't say", even "think" and "don't think". Such a net was created by other human beings who gave themselves the right to decide, to establish certain rules and who were then smart enough to make others believe and “obey” them.
