"Too many people go to their grave with their music inside them." You read that sentence recently, and thought it wouldn't apply to you, a man of words and master of sounds.
You think that the sentence, though striking, isn't quite complete. It should read, "Too many people go to their grave with their music inside them, and their mind undeveloped."
To be truly human, one must not only learn to speak and sing songs of truth and beauty, but also learn how to think. In order to learn how to think, one must be insatiably curious, intellectually honest, and emotionally brave. Alas, too many people are not born with these qualities and thus end up being the victims of Ignorance and slaves of mind controllers.
We were born with the brain not fully developed in order to facilitate the passage through the birth canal. The explosion of human mental capability outpaces the evolutionary adjustment of the birth canal. So we have a long childhood/dependency period during which our values and orientations were shaped by those who have "power" over us: our pảents at home, teachers at school, and the society at large. What we "know" and are supposed to think and feel are largely determined by these forces. Human brain is not fully developed until puberty is over. It's during our teenage years that we can reason logically and begin to realize that maybe our parents are not as "smart" as we once thought. Hence, the oft-talked about "teenage rebellion". We begin to be aware of our own self and individuality. This period is critical in shaping largely how we view ourselves and others the rest of our life. Unfortunately, most of us still end up as overgrown "children". Here are the reasons why:
1. Lack of Intellectual Curiosity
We are not really serious to find out who we are, why and how we are here, what happens to us after we die, and where the universe comes from. Instead, we accept ready-made answers from the so-called religious leaders who have a vested interest in giving us false and bullshit answers. We have nobody to blame except us for our ignorance. Thus, even today, most of us "think" and firmly believe that (among sundry and various stupidities):
a) There's a God who supposedly looks after us and will pass judgment on us after we die.
b) A book written by several half-assed and poorly educated (compared to current levels) scribes, called "The Bible" are words of God!
c) Homosexuality is "wrong" and "unnatural" because it is said so in the Bible and The Koran. If we take the time to read the modern literature on homosexuality, we will find out that homosexuality is rampant in the animal kingdom. From your recollection, there are over 300 species that routinely practice homosexuality, including deer and fish. Among humans, it's understood that homosexuality is universal (meaning widespread and in all societies) and occurring in about 10% of the population, just like about 10% of humans are left-handed. It's also understood that among humans that sexuality is determined during the formation of the fetus due to some sexualization chemical in the brain. Sometimes, there's a disconnect between the sex/gender and the sexualization chemical, leading to confusion of gender identity (during teenage years and adulthood) and feelings of homosexuality. Read, Baby, read. Educate yourself. Avoid Ignorance like a plague. Information is freely available on the Net.
2. Lack of Intellectual Honesty
Many of us are not honest of what we really know. We think Ignorance is a badge of shame, but it is natural and expected. We were all born ignorant. We learn to be not ignorant, by learning, by a true process of education. TamiKaKa Ito is a stupid ignoramus because this asshole is pathetically and laughably ignorant on so many subjects, issues, and matters, but the asshole is intellectually dishonest and tries to pass off as somebody who is informed and educated. I have unmasked, exposed, stripped bare of his Ignorance for everybody to see. And I will continue doing so if he persists in mouthing off nonsense and lies on the Net.
3. Lack of Emotional Bravery
This area is related to and tied up with the issue of No. 2 The Lack of Intellectual Honesty above. Yes, it is painful to be ignorant and uninformed. But to be a true and self-respecting human, one must learn to be emotionally brave and accept Pain because Pain is part of the process of growing up emotionally. No Pain, No Gain. But Emotional Bravery is usually something one is born with, not something to be acquired like knowledge. Emotional Bravery has nothing to do with Intelligence. You have witnessed at close range and on the Net many otherwise intelligent folks lack bravery to reject Nonsense and Bullshit because they were brainwashed when they were children to believe in Nonsense and Bullshit. The Human Mind is more fragile than most people think, and most humans are not rational in their thinking as they think they are.
Conclusion:
Man is the only animal that kills because of differences in Ideas. Very few humans realize that Religion and Politics are just ideas, embedded within material benefits and social positions. Humans are born with a drive to dominate and to rule others. Rule or be ruled. So we compete for resources (land, social positions, and life partners) and domination (more pleasant and emotionally satisfying to rule, to order and boss people around). And the best way to get stupid humans to kill for us is to infuse them with ideas about Religion and Politics, to inculcate them with a sense of Identity, to suffuse and suffocate them with Ignorance about the true state of affairs, about Reality.
