We trust the medicines we take, we trust the foods we eat, the water we drink, the religions we are taught, & the governments that form around us. We trust (almost implicitly) virtually every bit of information that is handed us from our so-called trusted sources. Too often, we base this trust upon an ever-present sheep mentality, thinking, If there were something wrong, then the majority would not follow suit as it does! So we all, as lemmings go, toward the edge of yonder cliff, unaware of the plummet-ous demise that we may face upon the rocks that lie below... CHAPTER 6: GLOBAL BUY LIST Those who will refuse to respect another’s views and take them into consideration are most similar to those who were the last to call the world flat among a society of knowledgeable round-worlders. Furthermore, the same may count his or herself susceptible to deleterious persuasions that only Time reveals as fallacy, such as regimes displayed by swastikas or flags with stars and stripes attempting genocide on natives and religious refugees. Beware, dear friends, of thinking that you are immune to such societal conditioning, for human beings, much like frogs, will often love the increase in the water’s temperature, but will not recognize the danger till it scalds their skin in boils. Some may retain a certain level of doubt in this, but Milgram's study* is apparent: the majority will follow suit, unaware of why they do (outside of keeping with the majority), so We must beware of such mistaken thinking and always keep ourselves in check, if We are to avoid the cliffs to come. We must also beware the progressions of the contributions of Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays. To One who is aware, these things are quite apparent and almost avoidable, but to one who is of his contributions ignorant, the same is inundated with an almost constant regularity by messages perceived only in our subconscious. These messages are manufactured to manipulate our thoughts and thus our words, and subsequently all our actions, our temperaments, and our lives. We must listen to the People around Us and be sure that We are occasionally traveling into the many parts of the world where We may fear to venture, for that is where We are most likely to hear the real news. Once We step outside of all our suburbs and are locked outside our gates, We discover what it feels like to be one among the masses. We hear what the People have to say and what they think, and We count ourselves as one of them. We begin to understand their views because it is no longer strictly theirs, but ours. However, as tourists from a strange land, We retain within our thoughts the spectacular and rare luxury of knowing how it feels to be set deep behind the gates and safe from all the moans of those struggling to survive. We remember our self-imposed displacement, that We are tourists, nothing more – a type or shade of traveler that has seen beyond the wall.
