The Societal Cost of Individuality

Why is it in this day and age intolerance for that which is different remains so prevalent? It's almost as if, at every cross section, the stodgy mindset of old seeks to prevent the progressive thinkers of today. Organized religion is a big part of the problem. They seek to organize, subvert, and subjugate free thinkers or destroy them, in the attempt. They act as the watch dogs for those that seek to oppress independent thought. Since the beginning of recorded history thinking outside of the box was frowned upon by the organized religions of the world. Leading the charge against individualism religious zealots from a variety of cultures, creeds, and religious affiliations have tried to sequester the progressive thinkers of their day. In the modern day not much has changed. From fascist right wing Christianity to the Islamic Jihad. One theme is constant they want a congregation of "sheeple" not individual people! They would be content with a world where everyone shared in their exclusive brand of thought. This intolerance for the belief systems of others has reared its ugly head throughout history. The most recent occurrence led to millions of innocent Jews being persecuted, tortured, and executed under the Nazi regime! Was this because these people where evil? Absolutely not it was because they were different! So dare to be different! Dare to be a leader not a follower! Dare to dream the impossible dream and change your stars! Don't let the theocracy dictate your station in life! True freedom, like anything worth achieving, comes with a price. Stand up for your beliefs even though they may cause you to be alienated from the mainstream. What if the seventh day Adventist did not come back every seven days to see if the savior would return? Would not an entire religion have gone by the wayside because they abandoned the belief system that other more conservative Christians may have viewed as crazy or extreme? By staying true to your novel ideas, beliefs, and belief systems you are ultimately staying true to yourself. Don't live a lie! Live the life that you believe to be true, real, and right. Don't let others tell you that being different is wrong! Being different is the essence of being human! Dare to be different! Be an individual living a real life! Why just be an automaton that goes through the preprogrammed motions of living life? Leave that mentality to the ignorant mindless "sheeple" that need to live life with an instruction manual! Instead dare to negotiate the road less traveled and realize your full potential, as a human being, during the journey. Stop letting the group consciousness dictate your reality! Be an individual living a real life! Dare to create your own reality based on what you believe to be true! The alternative is simple choose to be subjugated by a reality created for you by others. The choice is yours. So, choose wisely.
