Different views

Each individual has a different opinion on every little aspect of every little thing in the world...is that opinion genuine or is it influenced?

Societies are made by individuals, with individuals and for individuals, but it clogs the individual. Individuals just blend in with society and in the end you don't really know if the individual's opinion is it's own or the society.

I have reached the conclusion that every person in the world has 7 view points that influence the original opinion: the world, as a whole( we, as a humans, want and need the same things to survive, food water and air, and we live on this planet living and trying to live, but in a different way than other animals do), the continent ( which influence how we do things to get the things we need to survive, we import and export the things we want and need, we communicate differently with other continents, for instance, asia and europe have a different relationship than asia and america), the country (each country has different traditions,needs and wants, economic, social standard, language, currency, rituals, than influence or way of thinking, some countries are more conservative, while others are more open minded), the region ( each region, like the country has different wants and needs, depending on the climate, fauna , flora, number of people living there and so one, and like the country it influence the individual's life style, social standard, educations etc), the group( which influence how we act, how high or low our standards are and how we react) the family (it influences us a lot, how we were brought up, our own traditions, how we respect certain values, how we ignore certain values, how strong or frail we are, how in/dependent we are and so on), and last, our own self (how we choose to act according to all that influences us, the way we choose our wants and needs based on the wants and needs of everything that is around us, and how we choose to act and react among each other).

All these different views and opinions influence our lives and more ways than we like to admit, and in the end it influence our choices and, of course, our way of thinking and ,in the end ,our view point and opinions.

In the end, are we really original and "independent" when every little thing around us has a major impact on the way we think and act?

Time


tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac tic-tac
Time...Time is a time that passes with time...
Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need to have the time of your life"
Ever heard anyone say "history repeats itself"? Well based on this, we might think that time and what ever happens in time is a cycle...i think of it more as a spiral, the rules are the same...but the characters and the way they react are different, meaning that we don't repeat the same mistakes, we just follow the same patters and it is very difficult for us to stray away from those patterns, and even when we think we managed to escape, it's only an illusion...
Sometimes i love that time passes, sometimes i wish it stops or that i could go back in time and change...but in the end i am glad i cannot, think of all the implications and the damages time travel would do to our past, present and future...

Pro choice, not pro herd!


It seems i am a huge freak because i chose NOT to eat meat.
In a room with 500 people i am the only vegetarian, and i am ridiculed and picked on because i am different then they are.
I always thought that what you eat only matters to you and to your body and heath, not the people around you, it seems i was ever so wrong.
It's weird because usually there are 2 types of people-those who want to understand and those who do not want to understand, yet among those 500 where only the ones who do now want to understand...why is it such a big deal? Since when does it matter to others what i eat and what i don't eat...
It's more than this, it seems to me that every little aspect of our lives as to be similar with that of the society we have to live in. If you are a teenager and you have a kid-huge problem, if you are 50 and never was married, you are a freak. Does no one stop and wonder maybe that teenager chose to have a baby and maybe that 50 old person chose to be single for the rest of their lives. Why is it so hard for others to accept differences?
And i thought it was hard for people to accept homosexuals and other religions, why wouldn't be hard when they can't even accept little differences like what you eat...
Is is so awful to be different? Is is so wrong to make a choice and not follow others? Since when not being part of the herd is being against it?
And most importantly why to others care so much about how you chose to live your life, why does it bother them so much that they can't sleep well at night?
I for one embrace choices and differences and i am extremely happy for those who chose to be outcasts and happy, rather to be part of the herd and miserable!

Normal?




John Locke stated that "man is by nature a social animal", if so does this mean we all have to be the same? Do we all have to want the same things, dress in a certain way, act in a certain way, just because we are social animals?
If we look all around us we see the same thing, we see all these different people, but they act the same. Why? Why are they so afraid to be themselves, we are they so afraid of being an "outcast"?
Let me explain this with an example: at school a girl dared to wear a flower in her hair that matched her whole "gypsy look"( like in the picture), nothing weird, extravagant or indecent, yet most of the people that saw her laughed, judged and criticized, because she did not wore something that was fashionable, something everyone is wearing. It's a bit funny that even the males found her outfit weird(even though males are not fond of fashion most of the times).
I've also noticed that this behavior goes beyond fashion or how one looks. People discriminate and judge all the things they do not understand ( i'm not reffering necessarily to race or religion, but that is a very good and well known example) or things that are different than their ideea of "normal". Based on the way you look, the way you act, talk, walk, behave, even based on your ideas and principles, people will discriminate and critic you until they leave with no choice but to be like they or else they will throw you away form their "perfect" society

According to the dictionary, "normal" means:
-conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
-serving to establish a standard.
-approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.
-free from any mental disorder; sane.
-free from any infection or other form of disease or malformation, or from experimental therapy or manipulation.
-being at right angles, as a line; perpendicular.

And according to the urban dictionary: normal= a word made up by this corrupt society so they could single out and attack those who are different.
And i agree with the urban dictionary more.
