5 Big Lies You Might Have Been Made to Believe

Before you get all bent out of shape from the headline, let me point out that I do not deny the validity of the fact that you might have some facts that have been settled within you as a result of the things society has made you believe over time. But if you don't  want to be open minded and see the reason for the headline I think this is the perfect time to stop reading. For the few who see life as a place where we learn and un-learn, let's get this show on the road.

What if everything you have been told is a lie?. What if the things you have come to believe as the truth isn't the truth?. Here are some 5 lies society might have made you believe. 

1st Lie

The more degrees you have, the more successful you'll be.

Times have changed dramatically from the days when university education  had golden value. Now, recruiters don’t even ask about education level anymore. They’re looking for experience – which a lot of young graduates don’t have yet. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for education, but these days education means less and less in the job market. 

We’re seeing more and more people obtain success without higher levels of education. They tap into their creativity, step in a different direction and take a chance. These days, a degree does not define how qualified you are to work and be successful.

2nd Lie

A job will make you very rich and successful.

Getting a job does the following to you:

First you lose your genius. Slowly but surely, you stop feeding your own genius at the expense of someone else’s agenda.

You stop dreaming, and you think of everyone else that dreams as childish and immature. They don’t understand the real world, you say.

You call people that actually realize their dreams lucky, sometimes followed by an expletive.

You think you are gaining experience but you only get experience at that job. You get real experience by living life.

You give up your freedom, unless your freedom is to be at someone else’s bidding, and to fulfill someone else’s agenda.

You limit your financial security by putting all your eggs in one basket, unless you have several jobs, in which case, you severely limit your health while slightly diversifying your basket.

Speaking of your health, the number one thing you get from getting any job is not money, it’s stress. Stress is the number one reason for countless health issues.

3rd Lie

Prince Charming Riding in on Horseback

This belief which i'll call a movie invention has been one of the biggest setups for relationship failures. From childhood, women's minds are molded towards this fictitious Prince Charming figure; how he’s supposed to come into your life, sweep you off your feet and the both of you live happily ever after. 

The toys they place with paint the perfect picture of eternal bliss with the tall dark and handsome husband figure who comes home everyday to his beautiful slender waist wife with nothing to fight about. Oh, and they live in this enormous mansion that sits on rolling green hills with the pink corvette parked in the driveway. Newsflash ladies – Prince Charming does not exist despite what you may have been molded for your entire life.

Now there is a flip side to this. Men have been lead to believe what a perfect woman should look like. Again, you see these images everywhere you go but the reality of the image is never discussed. What you’re seeing on the cover of that magazine or  Hollywood movie is not real. Everything on her has been doctored, from her breasts, to the removal of cellulite on her thighs to the acne scars on her face. The insane part comes in when comparisons of these 'cartoon' characters are made with real – everyday women.

A lot of relationships have been destroyed because of this belief. Many times people go into relationships with unrealistic expectations of their significant other to fulfill their satisfaction stemming from a fake image they think exists.

4th Lie

Materialism equals happiness

Once again the images we see on tv have us delusional; fancy cars, big houses, lots of money to throw around means unadulterated happiness. Somewhere along the line the amount of things you own was used to measure how happy you were. Well, there’s pleasure and then there’s happiness. Pleasure is temporary while happiness sticks around regardless. But after a while, what do the materials do for anyone? After a while, we start hearing about tax problems, run-ins with the law, suicide – from people with money and things. So after a while, the pleasure fades and reality sets in- materialism doesn’t fill the void. People need to stop making having things a goal in their life – use that energy to work towards happiness.

5th Lie

Feminism is the solution to your problems.

It is not. In fact, feminism doesn’t exist. If it did exist, there would be a lot of so-called feminists hacked off that more female babies are aborted every year than male babies, because females are “less desirable.” If feminism existed, so-called feminists would give a crap about little girls being sold into prostitution in Asia, and Muslim women being treated like dirt in the Middle-east. But they don’t, because all real “feminism” is about is pretending that society doesn’t need men. Well, I have news for feminists: you do need men. You need real men, and feminists’ successful attempts to castrate the men of our society must end.

Feminism basically is women trying to be Men and this has lead to the deterioration of the family unit among many others. Girls have been made to believe that they can raise their children alone. According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Center for Health Statistics, Children raised by single parents are more prone to committing violent  crimes, drug use, emotional problems, turning gay/lesbian or having identify problems. 

To think Women don't need Men and vice versa is the epitome of Political Correctness. 

Don't believe a lie. Don't be a victim of social conditioning and mind control.
