Things to Think About

You tell someone that they are weak.
They are fragile.
They need protection.
They are not intelligent.
Coddle them.
Teach them to sew instead of fight.
To be silent instead of protest.
Prevent them from acting out by systematically punishing them for doing anything that you didn’t teach…

What I found the most interesting was how this can also be applied pretty much word for word to religion as well. “Everything you are is wrong, you’ll burn without us, only we can help you” and so you build the dependency that’s kept it alive for so long. 

Very true.
