I believe that our lives are completely controlled. How do I fight back and live my own free life? That's a question that keeps me continuing my own life. I am expected to go to college and have a great career. It's hard to achieve but that's what society expects from teenagers, such as myself. R.D. Laing says "Our behaviour is a function of our experience. We act according to the way we see things," and what he states is true but what life would we live without the type of experience we are recalling in our minds. This article just states the obvious and my life can't be alternated by his statements. My task is to fit into society, not roam the wild with a free mind. I've been influenced to work, get paid and have fun. That is what my life will continue to follow until I die. I have only gained an open mind by reading the article not a whole new understanding on life.
Men have killled their own kind for ages without end and that is something I have no control over. All humans do have a saying but I truly don't have the will power to take a stand. I can join a group of individuals that supports my thoughts and would have a voice in society but that is just adding on to more experiences that I would be basing my life on.
Some say life are full of choices but, those choices would lead us to be alienated even more. As those choices build up, my experiences build up and I would just be alienated from myself. There are no solutions.
