Social Functions Cause Our Problems (#40)

Everyone complains about some problem their having, some horribly seeming world-life-ending-oh-my-gosh problem that seemingly has their life entangled with the worst of all possible human problems, that no one else seems to have faced, and are put up against the impossible train that cannot stop.

Problems are usually an occurance out of two things: Society and Conformity.

Blind conformity and conforming to "fit it" is the most abundent thing i've ever come across, even i've done it at one point, I see other people still do it that are my age, older, even older and all the way up through death, I even see "important people" do it, what does that say? Out of all things humans do most, it is that people conform to the majority so they are not outcasted, so that they "fit in".

People worry too much about what others think of them: They worry about who they're hanging out with, what their doing with that person/people, who they're friends with, because if your seen with a group of people or a person, people will immeditly assume you are like that person or people that your with, they judge you that your "with" that person for whatever reason.

People also worry too much about others, thinking to themselves why is she wearing that, or why does he do that, or why does he act like that, or why is this like this? First off why the hell do you care? Does it really matter that much, do you have to judge everything you see? Theres quite a different from interpreting and noticing, and judging, and by far judging is done WAY more. It does nothing but narrows your mind to that particular viewpoint.

Because people judge others, that inclines people to worry about what others think of them. This "problem" causes the destruction and seperation of so many things, things like friendships, potential love mates, conventions, or just merely going out and trying to do some event, try something new, like joining a club or martial arts place, or even simply walking around outside at 9 at night because it makes you feel better; it causes all of those things to rip apart and die. All the things people desire fade away, all because people worry about some social conformity, and fear being outcasted. Do things because you want to do them, dont not do them because your afraid of what others may think. Two words to people who care about fitting in: Fuck You.

When things like fitting in socially with the "norm", have the ability to change your mind (thus your interpretation, perception, and thought) about the things in life, theres something wrong with the way people are, theres something terribly wrong with it, at least in contrast with how and why problems are occuring. Problems are arising, problems like lying, hate, destruction, friendship problems, family problems, love problems, and then followed by social problems; the social problems are happening in response to perceiving the other "problems".

This "social problem" doesn't just happen to me, but it happens to many people, it happens to probably all people at one point in time or another, or still does. Many people will deny that social conformity is the blame for most of the problems in life, mainly for the fact that they are entirely unaware of this phenomena. Let this apathy be the cause for our perceived "problem" risings, social blind conformity and outcasting is the greatest problem of them all, and the lack of that knowledge creates more of them in itself.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
