“The Giver tells him not to trust the limited thoughts that have been given to him, but to trust what is inside”
That is exactly the advise that the left and totalitarians give in general. Trust your “feellings” not logic or reasons.
Logic, reason, and skepticism are what make conversion from “established truth” possible.
I am starting to find it stupid that protagonists are always or usually very very young. This whole PC thing where the children are smarter than parents is just ridiculous to me.
And why does every story have a main character who is falling in love, but never “been in love”? Why? does “love” not exist beyond the next page or chapter?
