Now this mayor had influence over more than just the town. He was able to pull strings and get the radio, television, and print media to herald his ideas as well. Soon, everyone who watched TV, listened to the radio, or read newspapers and magazines heard experts using the same ideas that their own mayor taught them. They were thrilled that they had such a smart mayor! It got to the point where anyone who did not follow along with these ideas was looked down upon. The mayor was unanimously reelected every term because he did such a good job of coming up with new ideas to help the people get the most from their lives.
What the people did not realize was the mayor had secretly, over time, built prison bars around the town and disguised them as a privacy fence. It was beautifully done, and was very attractive to the people. The people were very happy with the way things were going, and found no need to leave or "rock the boat", they had the perfect place to live. When problems did occur, the mayor blamed it on those who did not incorporate his ideas. Those who questioned his tactics and motives were made public spectacles, and were humiliated in front of everyone, especially by the media.
Through seduction, the town's people unaware had chosen captivity in the prison of their own making. You see, instead of considering the facts and searching the truth for themselves, they allowed others to do their thinking for them. Are you thinking for yourself, or merely echoing back someone else's opinion, or living life like your parents did? Who is doing your thinking?
Parents, we are not victims. Neither are we captives of "the system". You have the power to change the direction of your life, and the lives of your family members by making your own decisions. Check out facts for yourself. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions based on what you discover. Make a decision that you will not be held powerless and ruled by others. Be bold, be strong. Step out and deliver your family from the way of life everyone else may be choosing. Dare to be different.
