That's the reality, isn't it??!! Haven't been open to new data since age 10, not since being programmed with a faulty ideology.

Once that happened nothing is ever questioned. A sucker for every bit of propaganda their masters feed them, simply denying that which contradicts the imagined fairyland those richer and smarter construct for their masses to believe so that they may stay in power.

An ideal follower. Essential to every tyrant the world has ever known.

I think we all start out that way. Life has a way of intruding upon those fantasy worlds which are created to comfort children, and the disillusionment is a painful process.

Those who have the guts to go through it wind up much more comfortable, much more open to life, experiences and our fellow man.

Those that don't wind up rigid, frightened, well, hell, we know how they turn out, don't we.
