[Mind's Eye] Re: Just a thought...

But you have to admit there are humans who haven't the chance to even
consider this type of thinking as their lives are miserable due to
poverty, war, sickness and all other ills. Plus- what does a culture
celebrate? Wealth? Power? Etc.? You can hardly fault some for buying a
false self and image if that is what their culture teaches them, can
you? It takes a brave rebel to contradict society or challenge group
thought.
