The Self In Bondage

You've heard the expression, "He was his own worst enemy." Well, in some ways we all are. We put limits on ourselves upon the successful indoctrination into whatever society we are born into. As this begins from a very early age, we merely acquiesce and mentally accept the do's and don't's. Of course, as in Orwell's 1984, there are some renegades who do not swallow the bitter pill of conformity. The world saw quite a few of those just after WWI and we have the writings and artwork to prove it. It seems that each generation since has produced fewer and fewer of these nonconformists. I wonder if it can be something like making a copy of a copy of a copy with each one being just a bit less well-defined than the last. Can this happen to human DNA as well? Or does it have more to do with lifestyle? This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper. Original Jones Art is only asking the questions in northwest Austin, Texas. I daresay that the thoroughly indoctrinated will never find the answer, much less understand the question.
