Our Parents are SO Far Gone
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:06 am
like Chris, most of our parents are so brainwashed on what life is about.
most parents/people in general are indoctrinated into the "american dream" lifestyle, in which you go to school for 22-25 years of your life, despite it being ridiculously boring and ineffective in true education), followed by about 40 years of mindless, passionless and purposeless work.
i'm 22, and it is mind-boggling how they live this life. "the mom stays home all day, while the husband works to bring home the money."
or your parents both work; either way our society is living in an invisible prison. everyday they experience the same dreadful, dull life, just like the day before. we need money, clothes, and television to keep us preoccupied for long enough.
we get sucked into this ultra conformity, conservative life where we are afraid to take risks, afraid to truly live a life in our dreams. a passionate life, a purpose-driven life, a life of unity and selflessness, adventure, hope.
i don't see this. my parents know the life i want. i have told them many times, and they don't understand that they didn't waste their life. they never took risks. they view life as merely WORK, as opposed to an ADVENTURE! LIfe is meant to be LIVED VALIANTLY!!
i definitely understand why Chris did what he did; he was fed up with his parents ignorance, his parents apathy, his parents selfishness.
it is so sad to see how far gone our parents are. i pray they will wake up and realize the lie they are living. anyone relate to this??
