Taught To...

We are taught to hate, but not to love. We are taught to be ashamed of ourselves and our bodies. We are never taught to appreciate the innate beauty that each of us has in simply being alive. 

We are taught not to celebrate our differences, but to use them against one another. We are taught to fear and condemn and not to trust those who are different.

I read recently that something like 95% of women don't like their bodies. Do you think this will be transferred to the children? Do you think this is a good source of where our newly found prudishness comes from?
