“What is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?” This is a very good point; however, to what extent is man willing to go with this sort of outlook? There are many who live by this that chooses to be “approved” rather than accepted by the norm. For me, this is unacceptable.
I do not agree that to be accepted into a community, it’s best to conform to the ways that is considered “normal.” I find it better to be yourself and attempt be something that is just not, in lack of better words, you. Therefore, when I see people acting the same way for only the goal of being acknowledged, the first thing that I think- as audacious as it sounds – how pathetic. I mean to want to only be recognized as something that is anything but who you really are, is not worthy of respect or admiration.
Most foundations of trends, at least in my opinion, are due to the media. Sure there are things in the media that are pleasing to the eye, but not to the extent that I want to make myself fit that image. Though it’d be nice feel more like I belong rather than stick out, I choose being myself and being comfortable with who I am and not who I’m not.
In conclusion: I belong to myself.
