Question the Narrative

Seeing the world as it really is tougher than it sounds. Even those who are actively seeking truth, have their work cut out for them.

If we’re determined to increase our individual grasp of reality, we have to start by recognizing how much of what the public thinks about a given subject is determined by narrative.

Narrative is often based upon emotional stories, and that’s why sociopaths find it so useful as a tool to manipulate how the public thinks about certain issues. 

The key to becoming resistant to manipulation is to become propaganda-proof.

To the people who wish to control others, it’s essential they also control the narrative that informs the day-to-day worldview of the public. 

As long as we remain convinced that those who are in power must be obeyed, their control remains unchallenged.

However, if we were to begin questioning how they are using their power or whether they should be exercising certain powers in the first place, their influence over us would be greatly diminished.

Naturally, this makes anyone who challenges the official narrative an enemy of the system.

Instead of squandering all of our energy on politics and personalities, we should be in the habit of carefully analyzing the ruling structures that seek power over us and deciding whether they deserve our support or not.

The shift from servant to citizen begins when we are willing to question the narrative we are expected to believe.
