So I am pretty sure there are some people who have closed-minded friends out there. Every time you do something "different" or out of the norm, they think you are being brainwashed. They act like a "know it all" and tell you to stop and they act all weird that you will get brainwashed into something like that. HOWEVER the thing you are getting "brainwashed" in actually makes sense! =O
You know what else makes sense? That the whole society is brainwashed too! =O GASP! Yes. If you think about it, we are all taught conformity. People live their lives being comfortable and with the norm and to avoid the people who are "different."
How do you talk to people like that?

I totally know what you mean!! I hate when they think that just because it doesn't seem normal or natural, that they should automatically hate it and not give it a second thought because they think they're right. They really need to be more open to different things otherwise they'll just be missing out on a lot in life. Yeah, I agree about the society getting brainwashed. I don't think a majority of us knows it, but we are all brainwashed in some way or another. In fact, what we think of as being normal or whatever and how our society runs is the result of us being brainwashed!! I totally agree with you on so many levels. We are all brainwashed!!

Exactly! We are all brainwashed. So the thing is we need to find out is what brainwash to follow? The Norm? Or Explore new things? The funny thing is I dont know why people automatically assume we are being brainwashed for doing something different. First of all, how do they know if their mind was not open to it? Talk about high ego.
