Question:

The theory of the boiling frog.....?

An experiment was done in my study of behavior, if you place a frog into a pot of boling water it will immediately jump out. Place the same frog into a pot of room temp water and gradually increase the temp. The frog will remain steadfast and will remain until the water boils and thus dying in total acceptance. Now applying the same theory to the typical American citizen makes me wonder: When will we decide to jump out of the pot? I consider myself an old fashoined American, one that stands up for what I believe in and excercises my right to free speech. But today most Americans are pacified by junk television and substance-less music. Here we are 40 years since the protests of Vietnam and we have become the ideal product of commercialism as mindless consumers. Personally I jumped out of the pot long after I realized it, and tried to help those who asked for vision. But most of you seem to remain content as the temp rises ever so slightly, when will you decide its enough?

  2. You boiled a poor innocent frog?

  3. OK--so what do you propose that we DO when we jump out of the pot?  You have identified a problem (well, sorta)---what is your proposed solution?  You want us to DO something, but WHAT?

  4. not all of us are p***y frogs, A real American can stand the heat....ill never boil like you wimp!

  5. The problem with being enlightned is not the seeing, it's the helping everyone else to see.

    If you see the problem and the solution - explain it; otherwise, you are just sitting under the bodhi tree, metaphysically jerking off.

    philosophically speaking.
