Thinking...

"When one sees the same person everyday..they wind up becoming part of that person's life and then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be then others become angry.
everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives but none about his or her own."---Paulo Coelho The Alchemist

This one little paragraph struck me quite suddenly and then I thought about cultures and society and how much I despise it, not actually despising it for what it is but the way in which it tries to force the mind to think a certain way and act a certain way.
I wish to be able to see the world through the un-tainted eyes of a newborn.
