We are controlled by words/ideas such as :
"willpower,"
"being/be in control of your own body by NOT eating too much, not having sex too much, having sex ENOUGH,etc." - even though we WERE until these people tried telling us we were not. They tell us this to do the opposite, so THEY can be in control of our body.
Society wants to mold us/you and control our bodies, thoughts and feelings. They want to banish out natural instincts and mold us into something that is all the same.
Many times, this is the cause to our depression, anxiety,etc. in which they conveniently provide pills,therapy and medications for us.
Churches try to recruit us, doctors try to give us meds to make us feel better,and the magazines and media try to tell us to obey them and get help for something we shouldn't need help with anyway. We get depressed because we are told what to eat, how may times a day to eat, how many times a day to have sex, how to have sex, how to feel, which feelings are "Validated" by society and what ways are wrong and which ways we eat, have feelings, and have sex are socially "acceptable"
"Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales." - Aleister Crowley (Brainy Quote)
