"Brainwashing is a system of befogging the brain so a person can be seduced into acceptance of what otherwise would be abhorrent to him. He loses touch with reality. Facts and fancy whirl round and change places.... However, in order to prevent people from recognizing the inherent evils in brainwashing, the Reds pretend that it is only another name for something already very familiar and of unquestioned respect, such as education or reform." Edward Hunter, Brainwashing (New York: Pyramid Books, 1956), pages 185-186)
When I think about it, it is true mostly what we learned in school (especially Unifarksity), WE DON'T REALLY USE THEM! The true reason we go to school, colleges and university, is because we were taught to. More than half of my life is/was spent with other than my family!
Money, Power, Fame, Respect. These were the goals. These were my goals.
What do I get now? None of them. Such a waste of time. If I didn't got to that extent in school, I'd just end up at the same place I am now. Unless of course you're the bread of those special boys club fraternity shit.
Should I send my children to school then? Sigh... Sekolah pondok boleh?
Surroundings falling like withered flowers... one by one, we all fall... If not physically, it's always emotionally... Always attacking our soul... always...
Expectations, we must throw this away. We don't expect, we don't hope, and we won't be failed.
I am not afraid of you.
