They Want You To Think, But Not For Yourself

Life is all about conformity. They want you to THINK, but not for yourself.

When we are born, it's a small stage in a baby's life that is dedicated to being taught how to talk and walk. After that baby is walking more satisfactory and talking more fluently, it is then that the remaining time of their adolescence is dedicated to them being taught to "sit down and shut up." To be obedient. To "follow the rules" and know that their opinion and thoughts are less than important to that of an adult. 

It is an perfect example of how the rest of life works, but instead of how adults treat children...when you become an adult now it's other people with more authority and power to tell you your thoughts versus theirs mean shit. 

Inspire and encourage you to be all you can be, to be YOU, but when you do you are deemed inferior and they will go on to tear down everything you stand and everything you are. To be obedient. Although, obedience is not what they really want, conformity is what they really want.   

It doesn't start when you're an adult, oh no. They start to you early. The education system is conformity at it's finest. Think back to when you were in school. Imagine, math class...you have a math problem, you have solved it. You've shown your work, the answer is correct, but it is incorrect. Why? Because instead of being applauded for thinking on your OWN and figuring out the CORRECT answer your own way...you DIDN'T do it the way the teacher WANTED you to do it. You did not conform, therefore, you are wrong. 

They want you to think, but not for yourself. 

"Solve the problem, but do it like I TOLD you to do it." Conform like everyone else, don't think for yourself. If you DARE use a method the teacher didn't teach and they will get offended. 

If you think for yourself people. get. offended. Go figure.
