"Free Your Mind And Think", said John Lennon. He is advising you to free your mind. But you are sure that your mind IS free. How could it be differently? You think your own thoughts, you know what you want and don't want, you are sure of what you like and don't like, but... Do you really? You believe that your choices are independently made, but... Are they? I have previously said and written more than once that nowadays society is literally bombarding you with notions, opinions and judgments that drastically condition your point of view, your outlook on life and on others. It is a subject worth talking about again and again and again. We ALL need to become aware of what the media are doing to our minds, what they are doing to US as human beings. We continuously see ambiguous scenes on the TV or in movies, we witness questionable situations and people's extravagant behaviors... Things that deep inside we know not to be "right", yet we indulge in watching them. We eat food that we know is unhealthy, but the way it is forcefully shoved under our eyes makes us "choose" it. We listen to opinions that are limiting, we read stuff that leads us on the worst path. Yet we believe out mind is free. What a deception!
