    The Brainwasher

    The world around us is filled with explicit and implicit messages, which confine us to a certain way of thinking. We become reflections of the environments that we live in, and thus, we are each, more or less, carbon copies of the same thing, with only slight variations.
    The world is all a pointless accident.

    We do become reflexions of the environments in which we live, what other do we know? When I was a kid, I believed what my parents believed (which, luckily, was moral). But, if my parents were big time liberals (sorry to get a little into politics) I would listen and agree with them, simply because I would not have known anything else at such an early age.

    I know what you're saying about how we all have very similar lives. But, what defines a man is his experiences. All people have different experiences in their life, that changes their beliefs and potentially future decisions. We, as humans, have the joy of reason, and being introduced with new things everyday. That is what makes us diverse, even amongst this media-brainwashing that happens.
