It's essential to know why you think the things you think, and to see where your brain has been washed and by whom.

Yeah, this has been one of my ongoing goals in life. At first, I think it was this concept of acquisition of knowledge. Maybe philosophizing. But there was no attempt at seeing what the fundamentals of my belief were besides some knee-jerk concept of "freedom". Of course, as I analyzed and understood that "truth" is also important and that includes integrity and honesty to one's self, and ultimately finding what that core value is.

I realized that "freedom" is probably one of the greatest enslavers. Anyways... I try to analyze this shit according to what my core principle is. I don't know if I could ever try to alter that principle which is "Love of fellow humans and desire to reduce suffering in the world."

I think one big part of this is that you are discussing what could be termed a dialectic: what is being told/taught to you and how/by whom. This requires one to question all authority and sources of information, including the ones you innately trust, the ones that "jibe" with your personal feeling.

I've been wrapped up in fear and terror. (Don't even ask about the following pic):

America, WAKE UP!

It's not pretty. When I get wrapped up in anger and dark heavy emotions, like fear and such. It's not good. I don't even wanna know what it's like to have those emotions and surround yourself with an environment that not only doesn't work towards preventing such thinking but actively encourages it.

I think this is sorta like the mentality of the Stasi, they just sorta manipulated this busy-body energy into spying on everybody and their neighbor and the gossip mentality of shit like I saw Heinrich the other day talking to an old businessman...
