Oversocialization: The Human Condition



Why should we allow politics to enter our mind when considering how to solve social problems?

It is a do it your self project.

The problem is politics being allowed to enter any question when looking for an answer to social problems. Politics (many-parasites)is the problem, more politics is not going to solve any social problems when politics maintains and created them in the first place.


All human problems are social problems!

If we solve simple social problems all politicians or Attorneys and Executives would be out of work and no longer elite enough to influence society if they wasn't voted for as our keepers. So to solve the problems(so easy a fifth grader could do it)by doing this simple math to
eradicate social problems = ?

"If voting changed anything, it would be illegal"

We can talk all day long and start 501c3 Organizations that the politicians regulate to try and solve social problems but in fact we are just contributing to the problems by contributing to and running such orgs. Voting is to vote for more problems same as cutting your wrist is not a
cure for tics in your ears. If your Friends dog has a tic will you leave on him or take a vote to see if we should add more tics to combat the infestation?


The human condition is over socialization.

The answers are simple and only main line propaganda is in the way of our born in wisdom for solving simple problems. Its not a matter of violent revolt, its a matter of self discovery and a return to innocents via ego death. A true evolution/unfoldment to consciousness that requires no
leader or political organization for all others to heal.


Thoughts on Oversocialization

Psychologists use the term "socialization" to designate the
process by which children are trained to think and act as society
demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and
obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning
part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists
are over-socialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel.
Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such
rebels as they seem.

The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can
think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not
supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some
time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are
so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally
imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt,
they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives
and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality
have a non-moral origin. We use the term "oversocialized" to describe
such people.

Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of
powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means
by which our society socializes children is by making them feel
ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society's
expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is
especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of
HIMSELF. Moreover the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized
person are more restricted by society's expectations than are those of
the lightly socialized person. The majority of people engage in a
significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty
thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate
someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick
to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do
these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of
shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even
experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to
the accepted morality; he cannot think "unclean" thoughts. And
socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to
confirm to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading
of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological
leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down
for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of
constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. This suggest
that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties that human
beings inflict on one another. By TK




Lyrics
1967

Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.

Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die.
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled

"You won't hurt me no more."

But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually

As usual, perfect timing. I'm contemplating future plans and may have been taking societal pressures too heavily into account...

Have you read the Grimm's fairy Tale, Nixie of the Mill Pond?

Goes along with Castles made of sand. Worth a read.

Peace!

Good luck and peace be with your decisions in life.
