Each one of us probably identifies with this dilemma; whichever side of the fence we might have been on. Sometims,e we overcome the boundaries, and sometimes we do give in. For the very reasons you cited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is another state of mind that you might want to touch upon- the state of being completely unaware of these boundaries. When our conditioning to certain norms is so strong (remember Pavlov&amp;#39;s theory?), we do not even realize that we have been molded into a certain predetermined frame of ideas, beliefs and perception. What remains is an unconditional and constant inertia, as our mind fails to recognize the perimeters of consciousness thrust upon us. I am angling towards the old adage here- &amp;quot;Ignorance is bliss&amp;quot;. Is it, really? Not, in my opinion.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542013559050069557/5770626665266132980/comments/default/6702702653910599991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542013559050069557/5770626665266132980/comments/default/6702702653910599991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connacherpaintings.blogspot.com/2009/06/boundaries-frame-our-perception-of-self_08.html?showComment=1244476781762#c6702702653910599991' title=''/><author><name>bigapplejuice</name><uri>http://bigapplejuice.wordpress.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/openid16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://connacherpaintings.blogspot.com/2009/06/boundaries-frame-our-perception-of-self_08.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542013559050069557.post-5770626665266132980' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542013559050069557/posts/default/5770626665266132980' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1906602155'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='June 8, 2009 11:59 AM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542013559050069557.post-5192330978426066705</id><published>2009-04-26T14:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T14:31:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Nat, this is great.
