STOP BEING AN INDIVIDUAL
Ok we completely understand you want to be different and get you don't wish to be seen as just another sheep -
yes we see your idea of showing the world you are not just another nim-nom stuck in the matrix,
makes your ego throb with excitement...
The question is this...is a society full of individuals really such a good idea?
At the beginning we moved in tribes, hunted together, shared, discovered, helped and cared for each other.
Later we were told by our leaders what to do, how to think and how to behave. We were a little stupid but quite happy!
Then along came the civilised world, class systems, organised religions, money, education, industrialisation, consumerism, housing, trains, airplanes, cars, radio, tv, computers, internet, social media and global communication
We seem to have arrived at a point where we are completely confusing ourselves
If the thought of being normal is horrific to you, beware this may not be nice to read...
if during the past 15 years, you have been to Ibiza clubbing, had a tattoo, spent money on designer clothes, been watching Saturday night TV, bought an Apple product, use facebook or twitter.
Big drum roll.....
YOU ARE NORMAL. A TYPICAL CROWD FOLLOWER!!
Don't panic, don't be upset. If you are enjoying clubbing, the wonders of social networking and that wonderfully expensive Apple device. If you are proud of your tattoo and feel good in those designer fabrics
You are simply confirming your involvement in the current world
The pressure to be seen as individual is massive, but actually its minuscule compared to the pressure put upon us to behave like everyone else. The reality is we are being sold the idea of individuality, which involves buying into popular trends or objects...thereby conforming. Its no wonder we're more confused then a carrot in an orange tree!
An individual acts on real feelings without worry of the crowd, with a moral code which includes care and love for others. Thinking and acting as your beautiful self is an act of individuality, especially in a world that screams - be ruthless and only look out for yourself
So why not re-consider this crazy individuality concept...
Society's magic trick is that it wants you to believe you are being individual, while making sure you conform.
Misdirecting us, so we don't see how similar we actually are, that our true nature is to help and care for each other
Deep down human beings are not selfish or greedy
Each of us wants to feel valuable and appreciated. Yes we'd love to be free from the pressures of this modern world, where we are asked to prove ourselves on a daily basis
The reason that we are being manipulated into being individual by governments and big business, is that they know the day we begin to understand we are all the same, we will start discussing real issues with care and compassion for one and another
Together we may begin demanding real freedoms, which would make us truly individual
The kind of individuals who would not be influenced into buying more and more products !
Step away from the mass market.
Stop being an individual. Take your place in the world
