Brain washing is generally frowned upon. I think we forget sometimes that we are influenced heavily by the world around us, through the media especially, and of course by the people we meet face to face on a daily basis. The influence of another person is sometimes unintentional, and other times intentional. Dictators and power abusers have used this as a method to dominate, control, and manipulate the people (unfortunate people) that they "take care of."
I like this term "brain washing" because I see several meanings within it. I picture a brain being violently shaken in a bowl of water, it's an unsettling image. Or in a washing machine, also unsettling. Adding detergent now... (I use classic Son brand)
Although brain washing has been misused as a tool to manipulate, it can be a valuable tool for an individual. So be careful what you watch, what you hear. And whatever you find and keep in your brain, make sure it's something worth keeping.
This blog post itself is an attempt to brainwash you!
Why use stale water? Let your brain get a nice rinse in a gushing river, or feel the refreshment of precipitation.
