I Was Reading TVtropes And Had A Thought About Human Nature

I was reading a page there that brought up a concept of how someone can fake being something for so long it becomes true, and they "become the mask. Anyone of you ever wonder how much of us is who we really are, and how much is just something we faked for so long it become real? I think such a concept explains a lot of the doubts we may all have about our own natures and who we really are, and trying to find the line where we end and the mask begins is a interesting exercise in self-discovery.

I have long thought about starting a thread in the debate pit about something similar to that, it seems like a lot of people are raised to believe certain things and often don't question them to such an extent that they just espouse them without even realizing the true implications of them. I used to a hard core liberal but then became a libertarian when I realized that mainstream liberal policies as well as mainstream conservative policies completely and totally contradicted the values I held most dear.

I feel somewhat the same way, as someone who supports human rights in general(including free speech) the concept of creating artificial peace by banning everything you find offensive or scary(which is what many liberal polices steam from) rubs me the wrong way.

 

I also hate the concept of "privilege" and telling people that should feel bad just because that happen to be born into a majority of some kind, it completely derails the message of not being ashamed of how your were born.
