So we will continue to strive as social beings and not rely on our own thinking. Everyday we see it- everyday we feel it and incorporate it or rebel against it and then develop an opinion. I saw a Family Circle magazine that had a giant piece of chocolate cake on the cover and above was the title-"Lose Weight Now". So what should I think? Buy the pretty pink magazine for the cake or buy it because it will give me the ultimate solution for fitting in-in other words- "happiness" I'm just wondering how we all got to the point of being told what to think. Happiness to me is invented unless we have the courage to redefine it for ourselves. Accepting ourselves is more about understanding what we are up against and what we buy into -so that we can recognize the other door. Because inadequacy is what the American economy is based on.
