Most of the time, do we even think, or we just relay on our “intuition”, emotions, reviewing past memories and experiences? A question someone could easily ask himself, since how easily we are satisfied today by adopting someone else’s opinion and how easily dogmatic beliefs are applied, despite all the knowledge and information available to everyone. The advertising industry has us well figured out, we buy, wish and desire what they want, we set our goals by our closest society’s conventional expectations and have despite all the technology we have developed, less and less time for ourselves and for executing our inner callings. We all like to call ourselves unique and one of a kind, despite the fact that we have 99.9% of our DNA in common, that we live by the same society standards and sometimes even dare to deny any creativity in us.. And anyone that crosses the line, expresses his own creativity, doubt the society codes, tries to create a life by his own image, and escapes the barriers of “short-sighted preservation and hedonism” we are used to daily shape our lives around, is instantly labeled as weird, a freak, or anything similar.. But who’s the real freak here..? Someone who vegetatively conforms to the perceived reality, goes by the flow and without any solid criticism does what “he’s told to”, or someone who knows there’s more to life, and tries to get the best out of himself, despite the possible failures and criticisms?
A nice video on the subject:
