While we're here ranting about today's society, we would do well to remember the principles:
- our capitalist society is constantly bombarding us by whatever means (sex, violence, curiosity) to gain our attention, the question to us is why and how do we react to these stimulants (i.e. instead of blaming society).
- we cannot control what other people do, after all we live in a free society, we can only control what we do.
- repression of our feelings or responses to these stimulants is never a healthy alternative and only serves to bury ones head in the sand.
