I like this take on brainwashing...

 

[GrandmasterP]

My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;

So be it when I shall grow old,

Or let me die!

The Child is father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.

 

( Wordsworth).

 

The child is indeed mother or father of the (wo)man.

Where else would our inner-child go?

Has anyone seen the film

 

"The day the earth stood still"

 

Where an alien comes to earth and all these military "officials" and "government leaders" act like theyre in control and fuck everything up by trying to kill the alien

 

That is the way I see much of society

 

People being led by the least among us

 

Also adults are really children

 

There is no differentiation in some respects

 

Its not like someone becomes some mythical non human/child

 

Everyone has weaknesses/flaws a human side etc

 

and then some people love to act like theyre in charge and they know everything

 

A lot of people on this forum do that too

 

Hey, watch what you say about kids!

Adults are much worse than children….

It takes decades to develop that level of ignorance, greed, and callousness.

Kids are much closer to Buddhahood - open, generous, and genuine.

Alas you are simply describing the human condition. Twas ever so and I see little chance of it changing in my lifetime.

[doc benway]

It sounds trite but all we can do is to be the change we would like to see.

I see more tolerance and compassion in my children than I had at that age.

I see many young people engaged in worked for change.

In my own life, as I attempt to embody qualities like compassion and understanding, I see people around me reacting differently.

All these things are encouraging.

Does a realized person see anything wrong in the world?

 

Seems like conceptualization?

[thelerner]

Well screw those murderous Aliens. They're certainly more cold blooded and murderous then us Earthers. Our military in charge of protecting us was overzealous, but they were pretty happy to murder everyone.

 

Perspective is so important. In both movies they're portrayed as heroes, but by there actions, they're genocidal. As far as young versus old, hopefully ones perspective expands when one is older. Experience should expand it. Not always, sadly sometimes it calcifies.

Forget about "realized people"...do you see anything wrong in the world?

 

I know I do.

Yes I do.

 

But it could mean my view is not clear.

 

I know a lot of things bothering me say a year ago don't bother me anymore.
