Mainstream Thinking?



I was scanning through my laptop deleting unnecessary files, when I saw a note reminding me to finish watching a documentary I was 30 minutes into. It was based on the unglamorous side of humanity. It clearly showed the everyday connection our lives have to animal cruelty and deforestation.

Don't worry, I'm not going to explain why we should become vegetarians and plant trees.

The video above gives me chills every time I watch it. My subconscious reads it as bad, yet I live it and my subconscious is off then. It’s like watching a movie that makes you cry, then seeing a section of the movie in real life, which you know connects the grim back-end that caused your tears, yet you don't care.

This is called “Mainstream Thinking”.... It's the norm, so we don't care or we punish ourselves by learning to live with dissatisfaction. This is why people suffer from depression.

Depressions... The psychological punishment subconsciously inflicted on one's self, for trying to live with things he/she is dissatisfied with.

If you were given the chance to change one thing in the world today what would it be? Take a minute to think about it.

The greatest lie we have told ourselves is, "If we have the chance" because we do. It definitely wouldn't be easy and people may think you are mad, or try to stop you but that's the fun part.

Mainstream thinking has enslaved us into believing we don't have the ability to change things.
