Most people in the hearing society have a problem with self identity. It is drummed into them all of their lives.
There is only room at the top for one.
You too can be a leader.
Don't be another loser.
What makes you better than them?
Learn more - earn more. Get a good education.
All the popular people do this. All the individuals do that. Only losers do anything else.
People have to lose weight because they are horrible.
People believe all this crap. Then one find day they look around and realize they don't live up to it. One day they wake up and realize they are the fat, broke, uneducated, unpopular, loser. It is a horrible thing to face about yourself but if you believe all the crap that is put into you -- You are going to get crap coming out of you.
So they wind up hating themselves. So soon they have to find somebody they can hate worse than they hate themselves.
The solution is not to teach people love and compassion or intelligence.
The only solution is to counter the crap that is taught to people day in and day out -- Mostly by people trying to sell something and using fear to do it. People are scared of being losers, of being failures, of not being liked, of not having the right deodorant or the right education or the right attitude -- And there is somebody right there to sell them something to cure it.
But the cures don't work.
And they HAVE to be better than SOMEBODY -- So it must be you.
(Aren't you the lucky one)
