I am not your archetypal sort
My views and beliefs are all self taught
Based around my own thoughts
Within my own conscious mind
Questioning all truths and beliefs
One thing that I have seen is nothing
Is ever what you think it to be
We accept to much compliantly
Accept what we are so blindly
We never seem to dig deeper to see
If what we are learning stands up to critical scrutiny
We must ask questions and look at sides and aspects fully
If we are to find the truth of all things
You cannot just fall into line like a sheep
Following every word that they preach
Accepting every thing that they teach
Abiding by every single policy
Because when others understand you just accept their bidding
They will feel they can do anything without you questioning
Then they will exploit you
Then they will abuse you
Because then they will believe that they have control over all you do
Stop and question everything
Don’t be the archetypal compliant being
Scrutinise all that you’re told
And question all the beliefs and teachings you’ve been sold
And you will see this is good for the soul.
I really like this! Archetypes are for people who need classification and neatness to make sense of the world. I especially like that you feel nothing is “Is ever what you think it to be”. I have felt the same way for so long that I now find it comforting. I’ve accepted it and to some extent, live by it. After all, life has an infinite number of possibilities so how could it be predictable? Nothing wrong questioning form-fitted belief systems and accepting that all things are possible. Very nicely written.
