when we attempt to be what somebody else wishes us to be in the role they have defined for us, we tend to comfortable slip into that role for their benefit to keep up with the illusion. it is not difficult at all, because everybody can be comfortable within their own mirage.

but just try to not be the whiney child when dealing with your parent, no matter what your age, and your acceptance level from that parent goes down drastically. rejection on a personal level comes directly from stepping out of the annointed role. it makes us all actors, and bad actors at that. To redefine self helps the mental picture, but you really never can redefine self within your community because the people already know you and you have no say to redefine that role - other people will only see you on the basis they have only seen you on. it is one of the reasons why meeting a friend out of context, their name will sometimes slip past your recall.

i believe you are correct - that these boxes limit us severely. but they are so engrained that people now take academic courses only for credit and reject knowledge provided cheaply as cheap knowledge not worth having. little do they realize the discovery in life is free and only the amerikan attitude that we are not happy unless you are spending money (preferrably somebody else's) is a hopeless little box to attempt to crawl out of.

the cynic might say you can't, but ghandi proved to me that i can do anything if i don't listen to the nay-sayers and their artificial consequence. people tend to be resistent to have to's, but eventually every one of us realizes what we 'have to' do to get our world the way we wish it to be. relativity is a much greater concept than people imagine - but it is graspable because Einstein could resolve it into concrete terms. Perhaps we need to decide whether there is an amerikan dream - i think there is one for each amerikan, but we can only reach it if we allow ourselves to dream. The PTB, aware of this, keep our plates full with busywork.
