Too much instruction...

I interviewed a guy in LA in early February who made the statement that in the US we get a lot of instruction. More so than anywhere else in the world. I chuckled in agreement and didn't really give it that much more thought until I was cutting up the audio and heard it again. In the following days, I became keenly aware of how much instruction we are given. personally, I hear a fair amount of instruction at work about projects and various activities that need to be completed. I hear a lot of instruction at home, (I need to be careful here), about what needs to be done and how to do it. I even hear a lot of instruction at church about how to worship, how to pray, how to study, etc. I even hear instruction about how we don't need instruction and then instructions on how to be free from instructions, I am not kidding about this. I then made a terrifying realization. I give a lot of instruction. Mostly in regards to Mar and Abby, but man do I give a lot of instructions. I always wondered why people seem to be thinking less and less for themselves and seem to be more dependant on others for direction and guidance. Apparently we have worked ourselves into a mentally dependant state where we can't function without instruction. Well, if change begins with me, then here goes. No more instructions. I guess you will have to figure out what to do with this information yourself. I hope it goes well.
