The Greatest programming of all, not the Greatest Love of All. Humans are the only animals on the planet nurtured and cared for by parents around 18 years or more. At 50,000 thoughts a day for a mere 18 years we have around 330,000,000 thoughts.
So mom and dad say be careful, dont speak out of turn, watch your manners, finish whats on your plate, be nice to your sisters, dont take any chances, dont play football you might get hurt, are you sure you can afford it, be respectful to your elders, wait your turn, dont be rude, be quiet, drink your milk, if you are not good Santa Claus isnt going to come to the house, be nice to your grandmother, get good grades, listen to your teacher. Need I go on? Worse yet when they are not saying it Grog picked up on it, so your brain is repeating the software. So between the hardware and the software you dont stand a chance.

Its a wonder that you have an independent thought at all. I still wonder to this day. What is with my obsession with health and vitamins. My Dad was the original health nut. I remember when he rented out the tennis club for a New Year’s Eve party. They said sure, nobody wants it. Try getting one now. But I am OK with my obsession with health. It could have been the opposite. But I am living their life in many areas I dont want to. I would need two lifetimes to deprogram.
