I fully believe in being honest as well, I'm simply saying there's no reason to get bent out of shape when other people are acting contrary to what you think they should. In the end, you (and I) are not that important, and people can (and will) do what they want. We don't have a right to dictate how our entire species should conduct itself.
I'm still young, I will learn. I'm only curious if time will turn me resentful or indifferent about humanity's behavior. I bet on the latter.
SergeMaximus Wrote:You still haven't answered me: WHY must we not give in to our programming? Do you even know or are you just acting out emotionally?
I told you why I don't want to follow my programming, I don't know about others. I don't wanna be another person without dream, without purpose and goal, living from day to day and simply surviving. This is how most people live, not giving much thought over their daily lives and their needs. I don't want this, I want more, I want be someone who matters and do something that matters. To do this I need to exceed my programming, cross some boundaries and sacrifice possibly quite a lot. In opposite by simply going along with my programming I won't accomplish that. As far as I can see most I could hope for would be being father of three and living decent life out of pointless and not rewarding job. Put accent on "hope" in that sentence.

But as for school, where would you start? lol. Would you start teaching kids about the reptillian brain? Or maybe the ego? Or maybe Jung's "Shadow"? I mean, I just think there's too much to cover, and it can ALL be beneficial at some point. Life is too vast to be able to decide what tools will help someone on their journey or not.
When it comes to that, I just have faith that "life will find a way" and realize that when there is a need to adapt and grow, the survivors will, and the evolutionary dead-ends will not. I found these subs, can't even remember how, but it was just what I needed. That's totally how life seems to unfold. Don't know about you, but when I realize that, my need for humanity to "change" is met by the realization that it is, and does everyday.
I don't know where, it's not my job. But people should understand it. They taught me in school how my digestive system works at least 3 times (primary, junior high and high), but about brain I knew only how it was built (a couple of parts + types of cells), but nothing about psychology as far I can think of. Maybe Pawlow's conditioning experiment was mentioned when talking about nervous system, but I'm not even sure of that.
Life finds its way indeed. That simple fact always surprises me and always gives me some cheer.
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
