This is subject I could struggle with, my view is based on personal experience and I’m not sure how much of myself I want to reveal.\u00a0 Writing in the third person could help but maybe that’s not the honesty I’m after.\u00a0 This is something I’ll have to address as I have a little theory (not very well developed). Sociologists and the like can pick me up on this if they wish:<\/p>\n
Western societies used to have well defined codes of behaviour, structures, compartments and\u00a0paths though life. This suited the ruling classes very well. Populations with minimal knowledge of anything else where either content resigned to their situations or dead. Development or education of people was encouraged if it was to benefit the rulers or the churches. In no way was it intended to be ‘personal’ development. However\u00a0enough bright sparks thought ‘hang on’, we can use our knowledge to benefit the population at large and so the mish mashed\u00a0societies we have eventually came in to being. These societies have evolved both blunt and subtle ways of maintaining themselves.<\/p>\n
We get brought up, educated, entertained with very little conscious understanding of ourselves as individuals. We are generally\u00a0nurtured to be an unquestioning part of groups, populations, cohorts, piers, classes, fashions and beliefs. I believe personal development is about stepping to one side of this, moving to different view point, taking a different direction, making your own path.<\/p>\n
If you do this you stand the risk of ridicule.\u00a0\u00a0This is probably where my reticence come from.<\/p>\n
However by taking a different path\u00a0I’ll end up in different hopefully better place. I want to go\u00a0journey with others, maybe not to same place, it could get a bit crowded, joining another crowd \/ flock\u00a0 isn’t the path that I see. I like the idea of meeting them on the way and swaping notes, it\u00a0should\u00a0make for an\u00a0interesting\u00a0and fulfilling journey.<\/p>\n
We’ll have to see how well I end up writing about this subject as I make my way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
