We are the product of the environment we live in

People continue to pay exuberant sums for diamonds, other rare stones, they pay huge money at auctions for objects belonging to famous people…

This is a beautiful example of how society, the values, priorities of the environment we live in can completely change, reprogram us, until we do exactly what the society wants from us.

And I will vehemently believe that it was actually me who wanted what they made me want, I will be completely convinced that it was my idea and I am acting freely.

This is how we exist in this “Matrix” we ourselves built without any free choice, which “Matrix" bends, changes us at will, while we are very offended if anybody raises the possibility of us being brainwashed 24/7 through a very sophisticated propaganda, dogma and peer pressure all the time.

Thus we pay a fortune for objects, “art”, services, activities the society considers valuable, we keep worshipping people the brainwash determines as celebrities, “influencers”, experts, leaders etc.

We can’t even properly discern how much we are manipulated remote controlled until we manage to distance, disconnect ourselves from the “Matrix”. But for that we need another, unique, purposeful, mutually supportive, mutually complementing environment that is built on very different, opposite values, foundations, which can “disconnect” us from the general brainwash through its own sphere of influence…

After all we are social creatures, we can’t live a Human life without being part of a Human society. And we are always the product of the encouraged.

So our only free choice in life is choosing the environment that will shape, format us.
