It’s hard to give yourself orders. For example, telling yourself to eat is a very hard thing to do in Spanish. Example: Eat! It’s much easier in English. In the United States people are trained to listen to themselves. However, in Colombia, it is natural to listen to others. A direct order must come from someone else for the language to work. Orders only come in second and third person in Spanish. There are no words or conjugations to give yourself an order.
However, in Spanish you can desire and wish to yourself. You can then make those desires and wishes conditional. But to make them conditional you must rely on someone else. It is impossible in Spanish to direct all your energy at yourself. It makes it very difficult to talk to yourself in Spanish. People in Colombia wonder a lot about how to have a conversation with themselves or even outwardly with their emotions that they have in their head. The language only allows for things to be transferred inwardly from the exterior into a deep reservoir of the unknown called self. Trying to get this energy out only comes with conversation with another human being. So, the cause of Spanish creates very social people. It is very hard to be isolated with the language.
In the US people can have complete isolation within their heads and their environment. The same goes for in China to an even greater degree. In China your consciousness can be relied upon completely independently from the rest of society. Chinese take family very personally because they don’t want people to live alone with the family name as possible as it is to be alienated from society. The people in China can hide very dark secrets that can possibly add value to the global community by giving it to a family member and leaving them to their own devices to exist in a solitary, and Godless state. Burying the secret deep within the confines of the Chinese government, not to be relinquished upon any request. People can often come to the point of not being able to express themselves they are so much within the self. Having English in China has given the opportunity to find others that think the same and have a medium of conversation over shared ideas. That is why English has become so important to China.
The States is saying that God talking to you is schizophrenia and that you talking to God is the wind in front of your face. Yes, America believes in God. The States wants to know the difference between English and Chinese in terms of the subjunctive conjugation of giving oneself orders. In Colombia, people can listen to money or the spirit of those that are rich, they can listen to their God and Jesus, they can listen to their family and their school friends. These all can give borders and fundamentals to their outward alleviations. By accepting what is coming into their heads as something great and from a higher cause, a sense of wellbeing is created.
In the States when something great comes into one’s head, it is often thought that great minds think alike and even with this, a fight must start, a mental battle over who has the right over the idea. Your head becomes a playground for multiple sponsors of the idea and you must claim your victory in a mental court and other delegations to receive the benefits of thinking. One can be left bewildered in their own minds if they are the only one in reality thinking a thought. People are trained to think that others are thinking along the same lines as you are. If you are not thinking like other people in the States, the authorities tell you that you are without God and that you have crossed the line of sanity and should be outcast for having unnatural thoughts and subjugated to medicines and doctors’ visits.
But in Colombia people often don’t know how to take charge of their own lives. They leave these matters to the church and to the local government. They feel that if everyone is doing something or if they see someone doing something that is special than they can do it too. But if they think of something themselves it is hard for them to act on it individually, even if it will make themselves better. Free thinking is something that is being taught to youngsters here in Colombia now. Tools to enhance their ability to be more than just artisanal are being adopted and expected of the youth. People here know more about the strategies of the social networks than do Americans, but they are incapable of grasping them and putting themselves into the framework that they have thought of. The reason they are so good at knowing the social networks strategies is because they have an innate ability that they were born with the find the plot to steal and harm alarmingly the people that use the network. Working back from here, from a point of destruction, they are able to deliberate on what they should post or how to engage with a service.
Americans on the other hand do not use distrust as their guise for thinking. In the States you are supposed to have a persona of full trustworthiness to the corporations. This means the information you give is often identifiable and can be used against you elsewhere. This leads me back to my point, which is; people trust themselves in the States. In Colombia for a long time, sin had to be instilled as a reason for people not to do something and give a sense of guidance. Spanish makes it easy to trust others, that is why there is so much danger especially online. You have the extremes of wanting to trust everyone and the inability to do so. In the States, you could trust everything that the system provides but the inability to talk about things in small talk that are not needed to show your level of trust.
Giving oneself suggestions, is a matter of being able to believe what you think. As a teenager soaking up everything, your influences are so bizarre in your desire to meet your full potential, that the appearance of your beliefs are left with so many holes you can never stop the leak. It takes a lot of discipline and belief to fill your life, that gives you opportunities that are without question. Finding yourself one hundred percent with your life and all that it entails is not something only for Gandhi, but for everyone. It’s not a matter of looking in the mirror, it’s more the wind in your face.
