Troubled Thoughts: Missused Psychology

How I love the wisdom of the ancients. Some disciples of knowledge were held sacred in the ancient world, as in the case of the ancient chinese. They were kept as a secret and not taught except for those who reach a certain level of wisdom, knowledge and spirituality. Although this might sound like it's unfair, but they truely had a point. Certain kinds of knowledge would lead to disastrous effects when left in ignorant or evil hands.

Psychology is one thing that had been misused to the fullest. Business psychology.. psychology for sales and marketing and advertisements... and.. and.. Instead of being directed towards trying to understand the human self, reaching down to the soul and trying to get out the best in people and form a better person out of oneself, psychology has became a tool to play with human creatures, by manipulating their inner selves, for no other reason but to get more money out of them; money and power.. those destructive illusions... Knowledge is power indeed. And in this open era we're living it it has become impossible to keep any of it 'hidden'. Psychology is one disciple that had been missused to the fullest. And the result? I guess we'll all be paying for it.
