Who controls us is a question I cannot fully answer, not with any certainty. But I think how they control us is clear. We are taught our roles are simply to consume what is provided to us and to accept decisions made for us. Even when we are asked to make decisions, they are not our decisions; we simply affirm decisions others taught us to make. We are trained to be passive participants in our own lives. Only by being disobedient, by breaking free of the artificial constraints placed on what and how we think, can we take control of our lives. That is hard to do. Whether it is worth doing, that’s what I aim to find out.
