Do you ever reflect upon how controlled, conditioned people are by their past: ideas, experiences, parents, teachers, friends, concepts? All that has happened, all they have been told, all that has been seen and heard leave a mark on their minds and spirits. There is the possibility that you, too, keep on living - thinking to be 'original', while you may be living as a remote controlled individual who only believes to be free. It is therefore important to raise questions, to check how open you are towards doubting your convictions, towards releasing some cliches that had been imposed on you by past experiences. Not all your beliefs are wrong, of course, but there might be some that you still accept out of habit or carelessness, possibly because they are convictions well established in your family, in your community or in your country. Be the "supreme judge" of what you make your own! It is your duty toward yourself.
