Media Propaganda & Preconceived Prejudice

So J, what do you believe?

I mean you talk a lot about 'the way' and 'truth' as if you had a concise perspective on how to see life, rendered stiff by the backbone of belief; For only in believe can we find ourselves stable enough to persevere in any theory or religion.

Anyone under any religion or lifestyle may live a more 'moral' life than another.
I believe in morality, that there is good and bad; That every human by nature not nurture is imbued with this sense. It's most base form, as I have said, is the feeling of 'fairness.' Some of our first memories are often recollections of being treated unfairly.

Only after living for several years do we develop some sense of perspective prejudice. This perspective of preconceived notions about people, situations and belief systems or even paths of logic, are born into existence. Some might say that growing up in church gave them a 'Christian perspective' but really, who remembers much beyond the old stories, a few silly songs and the hurt of a traumatic experience within the walls of the Church.

You see these perspectives are born from Television, for the most part. While your parents may implant the earliest idea that 'a black person is worth less than yourself' or 'that a gay person is somehow broken inside,' these thoughts trample into your mind like a train steaming its way down the tracks, when you turn on the television. The media is the most socially praised format of control propaganda ever born. Magazines tell children to adults to worship celebrities, to look a certain way, that sex or looking sexy, is more important than the value of their life.

Then one day, you'll be on break in the lunch room or roaming the halls, when either you will be confronted by a peer or you will over hear them. The confrontation will be almost immediately ignored for what it is, the pressure from the propaganda is deep, you find yourself giving the first answer that comes to your brain whether or not it is truly your belief or not that 'little Jimmy is gay and deserves a beating or not,' or that 'Charles and his wife deserved their foreclosure because they're black.'

Whatever your prejudice is, even if you cannot yet see it, someday the perspective of your entire life will be ruled by one moment and never confronting it. One moment brought down any desire to seek your own values and persevere to follow them.

Recognize the social toxin for what it is, prepare yourself in every moment to confront the thoughts which enter your brain. I know not your perspective nor how it perceives its prejudice, if you do not stop to question it, you will never truly know who you were nor what your dreams could have been or taken you.
