THE REVOLT AGAINST AN UNREAL WORLD

'Fitting In' - The Purpose Why Purposeless Things Are Done.In a seemingly perfect world where people claim "no one judges anyone," could the true reason for this lack of judgment be that everyone is—or is at least trying to be—exactly the same? From our physical appearance and dressing style to the way we communicate and our overall lifestyles, it feels as if we have all been reprogrammed to act in a uniform manner. We are losing the beautiful essence of diversity and thinning the line between right and wrong. While we believe we are accepting everyone for who they are, we have actually given permission for wrong deeds to wear a coat labeled "right".Standardized expectations now govern every aspect of our lives. For instance, if you are wealthy, you are expected to take everything for granted; if you are powerful, you are expected to abuse those under you; and if you are young, you are expected to smoke, drink, and party—making significant mistakes that can alter your life forever.Society has established patterns for what is considered "right" or "wrong," and if someone manages to act outside of that pattern, they become an outcast. Fear of rejection and ignorance drive people to do things they don’t truly believe in. We are becoming followers and imitators, but we must ask ourselves: whom are we following?We often fear being seen as the "black sheep" of the flock, so we strive to blend into our environment. However, when you try so hard to fit in for the sake of acceptance, you risk losing the very thing that makes you unique. The masks we wear become so convincing that even we begin to believe them, while our true selves fade away. We start living a fake reality, forgetting the precious treasures buried deep within our hearts. If we simply live the way our environment requires us to, we are no different from robots programmed to perform specific tasks.We must realize that the things we spend most of our time on have the power to program us. We take commands from our surroundings—our family, friends, society, social media, movies, and music. Whether intentionally trying to be someone else or simply trying to fit in, we are bowing to pressure and letting it rule over us.One of the most amazing gifts we possess is free will. We are not owned by anyone, and no one can dictate our lives unless we let them. Yet, many of us sit back and let the media or society tell us who we are, believing their lies. We are more powerful and have more potential than we have been told; we have a spark in our hearts strong enough to change the world.It is our decision to be fake and ordinary or to be real and unique. Others may not always be supportive, but if we know something is right, we should not abandon it just to please them. We don’t have to do things just because everyone else is doing them. We should listen to our own thoughts before seeking the opinions of others. It doesn’t matter how many people tell a lie; it remains a lie.IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE DO IT.BUT, WHAT IS WRONG WILL ALWAYS BE WRONG.
