Blink: The first eye flutter

I find it fitting that my first post is totally random just like the involuntary blinking of our eyelids.

Our eyes witness our entire surrounding while our brains only focus on a specific thing from the images that we process. Just like life we're constantly in touch with our surroundings but what we process is only but a fraction.

I've often wondered what it would be like to have a sensory overload, for the soul purpose of finding a connection to something other than what i believe to be true. How do we know that we're truly free of "oppression"?  What would it feel like to experience a "full life", is there such a thing and if there is how would we know when we have achieved it?

I seek the thrills of adrenaline and new found memories, but because of my beliefs i cannot chase my thrills. What we define to be right and wrong is all determined by our experiences and reactions towards them. But those experiences and reactions can all be tampered with by outside influences such as mass media and religion. Is anarchy, chance and utter luck the only way to live a life free from the bondage's of the opinions of others, surely there has got to be other ways.

Personally, independent thought is the ultimate sensory overload because the actions that stem from them would be pure and clean. but we're all bias in some way. We're all complexly simple and simply complex. So how do we break the bonds of mental oppression if we do not know that we're being mentally oppressed. How do we break the bonds of religious oppression if wars are fought over the different opinions of religion.

I guess we become the person we were destined to be the moment our eyes first blinked and the bonds that follow are meant to be broken when we remember the image our eyes first layed upon and the emotions that came with it.
