I apologize for the enigmatic thoughts just up ahead.
To me, it seems that our “society” is divided into two’s. Each side thinking the other side is ‘wrong’. Let me try to make it easier to understand.
Two sides:
One side: Intelligent and independent people. Who try to pull away from being dragged into the “normal flow” of human nature. People who endeavor and are determined to be different.
Other side: People who choose (or in some cases unknowingly choose) to smoothly go along with “the ways of the world”. They set up rule’s and regulations, and expect everybody to follow them without questioning or thinking twice about it. They stumble, they fall over the rule’s that they have set up. But they cover it up by saying “Everybody’s not perfect”
If you break away and declare your independence from the rule’s of society. If you question their way of living and thinking, they automatically try with all their might to shoot you down. At first they sweetly try to coax you back, oh-so-gently, persuasion drenched in honey. If that fails, they take you on an emotional rollercoaster, and throw guilt at your face.
And if that fails as well, they shun you. Call you crazy, and tell you that your missing out.
Usually, the person gives up all hope and faith and decides to join “society” yet again. And “society” welcomes them with open arms. For the feeling of being accepted by your peers is strong. The feeling of being wanted and the feeling of companionship. “Society” offers that and more…with a cherry on top.
The ones who have not given up and turned in their minds to be controlled by people who claim to have graduated from a fancy shmancy expensive college and made something out of themselves. The ones who have not given in are laughed at and made fun of. And likewise the “intelligent“ people laugh at the idiots of “society”. They laugh at the people who cannot think on their own and leave the “choosing and deciding” up to people who are complete nincompoops.
But the people who choose not to be taken in by “society” ever so often lose hope and become depressed. Feeling like they are the only ones.
Some become angry, some start to feel meaningless, and some wish they never were different.
…How sad.
Anyhow, I have realized that “society” is somewhat scared. Scared of NOT having CONTROL over everything and everybody. Because people who CAN think are never afraid to question. And of course “society” doesn’t want that. If there is a person that can point out and show everybody that what they are teaching is wrong, they try to shut up and cut down that person. They WANT people to mindlessly follow along, like sheep quietly being led to the butcher without voicing a complaint.
Why can’t we cultivate our minds and think for ourselves?
This all is unfortunately one-sided. Because of course, I’m in favor of independent thinking and being different. I try to stay away from being “the same”. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I should just go along with “the flow”. But then, I wouldn’t be the person I am. I’d be a bumbling idiot. Which of course, I don’t want to be.
I’m extremely grateful for meeting Dylan, Jake, Matt, Kimmy, and Edwin who have repeatedly encourage me to be different.
They have saved me from giving in and becoming a girl who uses people for her own purposes.
Ah yes. End of enigmatic thoughts. You may now continue with whatever you were doing before you decided to read my ramblings.
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that the sky is pink and the grass is always yellow.
