There's a saying called the "products of the environments", but it goes deeper than that…
One thing that needs to be taken account is "Social acceptance."
People can choose to ignore the influences of the environments for some time… but when it gets too strong we can't…
Because people are really that fragile.
The values of the society you might be living in… has such a profound effect… That it changes people.
Even though we don't notice how we change…
The old in this society… has to act like the old… because of social acceptance…
We want to be accepted by people… loved… not be seen as a "weirdo".
No matter what we think of ourselves… We can't deny the fact that people are fools… No matter how smarter than we might be to animals.
The values of the 13th century, had effects on the people in that century… They acted different… If courage, loyalty and honour was the value than, than the people would try to strive for it.
I guess society just has the effect to even out people… like a mixing of colors… We roll around and around in the ideas around us…
Especially those that are accepted by most people around us.
You graduate from highschool and than you goto college… People seemed to have matured so you start acting a little more mature… Without even questioning why.
You haven't learned any lessons… but you act like it cause it seems like that's just where societie's wave is going.
I guess it has to do with the value of people… In the list of stuffs people want… Most have some that's compromised with people…
Whether that is sex, friends, not being alone or whatever…
Some people need friends to be happy…
I am pretty sure it goes deeper than this… but I am trying to point out that the human psychology is a weird ass thing.
The one thing that's fun to think about is that… this principal applies to companies… cults… and all other social organizations that you might know about.
If you want to control how a person acts in a given environment… and I am talking about most people… Than control how people acts around him.
See all it needs is a handfull of people… and with enough influence you can literally "brainwash" people.
It's scary isn't it? you might think it's a bad thought… but this is going on all around you…
The most effective form of control isn't the physical but it's the mental.
The world's a scary place… Were being controlled every which way… like a puppet that isn't really worth anything.
I would say it would be easier to control a person rather than a boar.
Anyway… it's also funny how we don't realize were being controlled… thinking were being ourselves.
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free" – Goethe
People are unpredictable if they're not being controlled…
I guess I can't really blame those people who are doing this to us… They all have their reasons…
Whether that be money, social status, or for the "Good" of humanity and etc.
Some don't even realize they're doing it.
We gotta get out from this false reality in our heads sometimes and go out and smell the roses or something…
It's good for you ;).
So many of the things we thought of as being important… turned out to be illusions…
how disappointing…

I think I might have a mental illness… I can't stop thinking… and have an incredible urge to write it down somewhere.
If all this has any meaning to anyone else… I would be grateful.
Since I've been turned off by some of this nature of society… I am being influenced by it, more than I would like to be.
People will try to act the way others would find appealing or desirable… because that's just the way it works.
We need help from other people to be satisfied with our lives.
As we are social creatures no doubt.
I wanted to be outed from these chains… but I don't see any way out of it…
I guess the journey to find that "light" is too much of an unrealistic wish to be asked for.
