Become a zombie

Growing Down | Clarissa's Blog


I would never allow myself to be zombified. Imagine the lack of defensive ability that would lead a person to that? But these days we are taught that it is pathological to be “defensive”, so people open themselves up to any kind of manipulation. Still, on the question of Christianity, I know from experience how deep the roots can go and how it can mess you up. It takes you in the wrong direction, into a sacrificial mode. Sometimes you don’t even know it is working on you like this. People who stay on that track get very confused at a certain point when they find out that all their efforts haven’t been rewarded. They’ve put in a lot of effort accommodating others’ needs, and there has been no two-way street. Life doesn’t work like that. How disturbing.
