So I've recently decided a few things at the end of my post.
The word sheep to describe people is accurate sometimes but sometimes not. We all think on some level that the next person is sheep while we're the spiritually aware ones. I've been called a sheep for the dumbest reasons as I'm sure others have and likewise I've used the word myself to which when it's used against me, I feel some regret admittedly.
It's funny because it's not that I don't think there's any such thing as indoctrination or that there's no such thing as a sense of low self awareness, it's just that I feel like we are all victims of indoctrination and we've all done things by which we were programmed and sometimes you do dumb things you look back on, I feel like this is human. For instance the fake news crowd, you have to get your news from somewhere yes? If you decide to forgo regular news sources, you have to replace it with other ideals and concepts.
But think about it, if you don't indoctrinate people, they essentially grow up to be like dogs acting on instinct. Animals aren't essentially bad, they show altruistic traits as well as aggression and biases but they don't do it consciously. If we never had any indoctrination, we'd be dogs on some level maybe with a little bit more awareness perhaps.
So with all that said, I've come to this conclusion, it's just a matter of what you want to be indoctrinated by, sort of like choosing your poison by which you want to surround yourself with. This is the only true way to make sure you yourself aren't sheep. We mimic everyone else without ever realizing it, their thoughts become our thoughts, their actions can become ours so surround yourself with people and things who you want to become and leave the rest be.
I'm writing this because recently ran into a person who called me a sheep for wearing a mask, I thought about all this as I was wondering why everyone else thinks they're somehow better.
