guide us, or ride along with us.
What differs is whether or not we are conscious of the noise,
whether it works for or against us, what the origin of the voice(s)
are, and whether or not we have a desire to change it.
How do we alter a (typically) lifelong habit when we decide to change?
Even the being aware of needing to change, to disregard the over-
bearing societal influence to comply, for example, implicates the
level of sway it has over us. (If we begin to think or act in direct
response to said existence, we are still essentially controlled--or
at least affected--by its presence.)
To disregard or discard the influence of others or Other, and become
singularly focused on individual desire...one's own need, at
expense of all else...distanced from all else....by means of failing
to even register anything else...that is a great achievement.
Complete self-absorption and self sufficiency is the ultimate key
to survival.
