Improve society by learning the way of ‘non-action’

At birth, I was never told be a part a specific political party, nor was I ever assigned a religion. I really came to my own conclusions about life. I was exposed to artwork at an early age. I was never directly told to be different or to try to stand out. I was just shown things that were created by man. Things that I would later grow to admire, and acknowledge as some of the biggest influences in my life.  

I think what is missing in the parenting process when raising the youth: The act of "not-acting." Am I saying parents should disengage from their responsibilities as a parent? Should they stop caring for their child? Hell no. But they should not ship their children out into the world as if they're preprogrammed machines without a mind of their own.

 Man is, sadly, disgusting.

Think about it. How fair is it to your belief system if your child doesn't come to his or her own conclusions about what to believe. What do I mean? Well, would your children believe what you told them  if you didn't brand it from birth?  Maybe they would, but then again, maybe they wouldn't.

People in modern America do not give their youth a chance. We need options; we need thought. When we do this to our youth we, yet again, run our future into the ground because critical thinking, abstract and liberal thought becomes scarce. It becomes so scarce it leads to the trickle down effect, which then leads to a nation of a flawed education system, high crime and an unfortunate population with no mouth, ears or eyes.

I think that's one of the best gifts my parents gave me: the ability to think. They never tried to blind me or lie about the truth of Santa or the Tooth Fairy. And it's terrible that lying such as this has become the standard in today's society. The exact thing that parents say we're supposed to despise.

 It's awful if you ask me.

First, let's stop with the lies, folks. Let's rewind and say no "to that shit" my parents and I know is dead wrong. Abandon some of those ridiculous traditions. You're not helping the rest of us. The sad part is those people who are the reason for things being the way they are complain about the current problems in society. Though, they do not realize we are all a gear in this huge machine we call the universe. Every action counts, so take responsibility.

Understand we, as a nation, have tried tried to make critical thought extinct. We've tried to limit the youth's ideas for the thoughts of parents. Therefore, the majority of the population is blind, deaf and dumb sheep waiting for a shepherd to lead them to the slaughterhouse with two separate doors with vast political and religious differences while unfortunately they ultimately lead to the same death.

See, if more than half the population doesn't think and only a few were lucky enough to get parents who didn't preprogram them and allowed their child access to intellectual options, then information and creative thought is not circulated efficiently. The majority has disregarded against the minority, like the free thinkers, time and time again: the Civil Rights Movement, Galileo vs. the church, etc.

Now, the majority and minority don't associate. The problem with this is the creativity only gets circulated within that small group of people who have been taught how to think and not what to think. You know the whole saying that the "rich get richer while the poor get poorer?" Well, it works the same for intellectual wealth. Those who are born with it only grow, evolve and expand while those not born with it often turn into those sheep, waiting for those in line with them to go to the slaughterhouse. It's like we're preaching to the choir.

It's, unfortunately, a chain effect.

And we, being the thinkers, want to be accepted by society; we really do. We want to be understood by the simple minded.

Though I wish for that, it isn't likely.

Let's stop bothering with being consumed by material things and being brought together by irrelevant ownership of things to solve a lot of the issues with our human relationships. Let's allow our youth to think for themselves. It may be too hard for the majority to comprehend, though.

Learn the way of "non-action."
