The latter greatly being affect with perception management screened daily (via 'role models') to drive home new stereotypical concepts that deceptively look as if it benefits the 'role' to which is being sold. Truth is that deception is purely to benefit economic growth. Those who dare to live different are painted with a stigmatized brush. Incentives are only given to ensure that both parents our out grinding the mill ('working')with bonuses given to those who hand over their kids! Thus the baby-child-mind-altering-factories are what develops the minds of our kids. It is from within these establishments that new fundamentals are put forth and the next generation comes out with all the answers only to blame all those that came before. Mummy's and Daddy's fault ... if only they lived another way. Imagine where we would be now.
There's also another side to the coin ... one with two heads. The old bastards that lived in a time where houses and cars where as cheap as chips and no one had to have a science degree in order to push a broom ... that those bastards still now sitting at the top have created a system as I previously mentioned so that we would all turn on each other as we now so typically do, whilst those greedy assholes keep creating products that their well chosen models/idols tell us all that we should consume; lest we come from families that fall short of those baby-child-mind-altering-factories. God Forbid!
What ever way you look at it, I'm learning the only thing that really counts - is doing my best to accept responsibility for myself. More over think for oneself. This is especially the case when it comes to today's 'role models'. I do my best to be a role model for myself. Investing ones belief in another is fraught with all kinds of issues - codependency being a major one. Nothing worse than learning that Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are not real. So it can be with many of these fictional characters (famous ones too) so often groomed for the selling ... the selling of goods and ideals. Be wary of what stereotypical garbage you adopt ... because before you know it you too will end up tared with a very cold, bitter and judgmental brush.
Dare to be different - become your own idol, become your own model. Stop blaming others and just do what you feel is right for you. Above all ... forget that shit they taught you at school!
