I just noticed a cycle in society KHV: Child is born Parents give child everything when he is young Child is used to being spoiled Child gets older Still thinks he can get whatever he wants Parents say "no" to everything, now comes the part were they try to make a clone, what is this clone you ask? Try to raise the child to be like them, to act like them, to have nothing unique in their personality. Why do I say this? Well lets think about it, grandparents teach parents, parents teach the child through the way they were taught by their parents, ergo meaning that parents developed an unoriginal and boring personality. When the child gets older, he/she learns to depend on themselves, that's good, that's what makes them a unique person, being different from everyone else. Child falls in love, next thing he knows, he's marrying the person, for the first couple of years the couple accepts the way they act, that is one of the reasons they fell in love right? They like each others personality's, how do you think they fell in love in the first place? Suddenly before they know it 2 or 3 years later, the wife's pregnant, original child begins to worry, he or she thinks that their personality was never accepted in society, they're starting to think like their parents, remembering what they told them. Next child is born, original child gives up personality and acts like a bland normal member of society, exactly like their parents, the cycle is complete for them. The cycle repeats for the next child. Please tell me KHV, am I the only one who's noticed this?
ummm....no that isn't everyone's life. the only thing that is really consistent in everyone life are highlighted in red:
That's a baseless, "life is dead, weep weep" theory. What about people with personality? Gasp. By your loic, we would all behave like the first humans, because we all took after our ancestors personalities. It doesn't work that way. You can't change who you are, you can change what you look like, and act like, but what you're saying isn't true. It's a cynic's view, and the cynic is never interesting.
I suppose that kinda is the case to some families. But the thing is is that most of the time the parent treats his/her child the way the child's grandparent parented the parent. What I'm saying is that the parent learns from his/her parents, and does kinda the same thing to the child.
Exactly what I mean by its a cycle, I wish people would raise each other in their own unique and thoughtful way instead of creating the same people. It is the people who are different that make a difference in this world, and right now I say we need someone to make a difference
I never understood what's so wrong about being a "bland" normal member of society in the first place. I admit to being one, and prefer talking to them rather than goofballs who are addicted to being different. They are, which you'd notice if you stopped digging your head in the proverbial sand. I am and have been raised very differently from my cousins, despite having the same grandparents. You advocate individual differences and now you're calling out to some messiah-like person to make a difference. What the actual hell? If heterogeneity is your goal, then "someone" is who you should be hoping for.
Its just something I believe, sure I can't change it but I'm just saying hopefully one day someone can.
