A Cunning Snare

Many people seem to believe that human beings, when they are born, are empty containers which need to be gradually filled up. You, too, have probably been taught such idea. Therefore you often act without using your power of rational thinking. Such teaching has been carried out by education and by all the conditionings you have continuously endured by society and environment. Many are the injunctions given you to do specific things only because the current fashion, politeness or the accepted customs require such behavior. You are caged, imprisoned in a snare of do and don’t. Such trap 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. As usual, “control” is the word!
