Parents Are The Problem and Society is the Source Pt. 2
On how and why words are used by previous generations to restrict the freedom of subsequent generations. And how dishonesty is destroying the human race.

To understand why we must discuss words when detailing how prior generations restrict the ones that follow, we have to understand the power of words to frame someone’s perspective. Given that perspective is reality, how words are used literally determines the reality of human beings. Some consider words to be magic because their power over the consciousness that constructs a persons’s reality. They ask, why do you think we spell words? We are conjuring things, bringing things from the void into the material universe.
While you might not believe in magic, there is no denying that words can leave a person spellbound. They can leave someone elated or devastated, calm them down or excite them. Teach them, or send them deeper into states of ignorance and confusion. Words shape the course of human history and have since their invention.
Words are representations of ideas. They are one of humans primary tools for communicating. The goal of communicating is always to express some feeling, since it is feelings that drive our human experience.
Words Control Your Reality
Whether people want to accept this or not, “logic” is subjective. Feelings drive our decision making. What you consider to be “logical”, aka, what you believe makes sense, will result from how you feel about the validity of something. You will concoct stories to make what you feel is true, “logical”. You’re going to make it make sense to you, and for you, regardless of other perspectives.
Changing your feelings is changing your life. People unconsciously change their realities when blindly accepting certain words and the ideas they represent.
Words, the ideas they represent, and the feelings they affect, provide the framework and foundation of reality. Many times, there seems a vast distance between the words we use and the feelings we want to express. Though words are an imperfect medium, they are the primary method humans use to communicate feelings. Language is therefore either a limit itself or removes limits, in regards to what a human accepts or rejects. The ideas humans accept or reject, determines how they judge themselves, others, and life itself.
Words as a Barrier to Humanity
So it is with words, with ideas, that people place limits onto others and also limit themselves. Ideas, in the form of words, are passed from generation to generation, usually as a means of control. A means of setting rules for what is or isn’t allowed to be thought or felt within a human experience.
Why do you think one of the primary methods of intellectual and cultural rebellion is to create new words? Or to redefine old ones? The use of slang, boohooed as the idiocy of the next generation, is a common method through which a new generation asserts its differences. How it expresses its creative spark and seeks to exist outside the confines of their parents’ ideas of what’s “real” or “approved”.
The reshaping of language is not some juvenile urge solely born from spite, but a representation of the human need to define life for oneself. To remove the limits of those that came before and feel some type of ownership over our human experience.
Prior generations use language to draw lines around the human race, since the human perspective and reality is based on what ideas they hold to be true. Meanwhile, the next generation seeks to reimagine those lines and rearrange them as they see fit.
How Words Misuse Destroys Our Children’s Children
This is why, until words are used authentically, getting as close to human feelings as possible, there can be no advancement for the human race or the individual. As long as words are used to obscure feelings, used to feign control over our uncontrollable existence, and used to fight fate, rather than flow with it, human’s confusion can only intensify. Humanity’s ignorance can only deepen, its fear of freedom only be reinforced.
The main issue destroying the human race, separating child from parent and reinforcing generational curses, is an appalling lack of honesty from one generation to the next. This results in a generation lacking the courage to be honest with themselves. A habit they picked up from their predecessors and they from theirs.
This framework of fear, for that is what a lack of honesty comes from, seeps into the words humans pass on. It naturally results in impeding the freedom of their children. Passing on dishonest words and ideas to children sets the reality they normalize and exist within. A reality beaten into them by the fear based tactics that restrict the naturally free and imaginative child. This limited reality is eventually shattered by the uncontrollable nature of life, sending the child even deeper into a state of confusion and fear.
Rejecting Our Parent’s Chains, Responsibly
They then have a choice. Either choose to cling to the lies they’ve been sold, using the power of the human consciousness to align reality with what they’ve normalized, or reject the illusion passed on from the prior generation, either out of spite or curiosity. Probably a mixture of both, given life’s ultimate nature, one exemplified by the yin yang symbol.
But there is some truth in the words of previous generations and wholesale rejection would be folly (a mistake). You must take what works for you and leave the rest, or else you simply escape to another illusion. One more comfortable for a while, until the pitfalls of being motivated by spite start to rear their ugly head. Unbeknownst to you, in your rush to escape the illusion created by your parents and previous generations, you are still controlled by them. Creating a new reality out of spite means still existing within an illusion based on their words and ideas.
That, what one writes leads to understandings the author didn’t notice or intend. For example your piece is attached to an item about the tragedy of racism. My mind goes to our daughter (remains there with all things), forever27, “Validate me Mum!” What? Does that mean?
I don’t understand? Silence. If it means accepting (self destructive impulse to restrict refuelling and over exercise), I can’t agree that I support that (misunderstanding, thinking behaviors are always a choice). Illness is not a decision. Don’t believe mere words if the evidence contradicts what they say.
People are gagged, prevented from betraying their disordered thoughts, “Don’t say. Make them guess! See? They don’t care about you, not like I do,” thoughts from the predatory disease.
Being well and not ill is not a decision one can make, and reassuring or puzzling WORDS are weak indicators if, stop your ears, the evidence is different than the story.
