I saw this cartoon online and it brought it made me think once again about the conditions in which we live. Humanity is supposed to be evolving into brighter, faster, more cpable beings and yet we often take one step forward and two steps back. As we attempt to progress with advances in technology, scientific discovery, and legislative changes we step increasingly further away from our true selves. We are all innately capable of following our subconscious senses and intuition but grow up in a rational thinking society in which self-expression is impeded or repressed. We raise our children in institutions in which information is drilled into their minds but their ability to think for themselves, feel and and be creative is chastened. It is especially evident in the way our children develop that the perpetuation of the Persona mechanism is made evident. Memes and negative neural processes and passed down through conditioning, education and social restraint. There is no way of overcoming the problems of the world, nations or communities if we do not triumph over our own Persona and impede the smothering of our natural way.
