We're living in the age of clones. When a popular or famous person does something, the masses fall suit. Whenever someone doesn't go the major route, he or she is "left out." They become the minority against the majority. They're not looking to be in conflict with others but you know how conversations go, right? You say something that's different from what everyone else is saying, you bet your penny you'll be hearing about it. "You're wrong." "But you have to look at it like this." And my least favorite, "The Bible says..." Being your own person isn't easy because deep inside, like everyone else, we yearn to be accepted of others. The problem grows when we seek affirmation from others and don't affirm ourselves. I've seen and known many people in my lifetime that are just doing what everyone else is doing with a smile on their face (eyes say something else). But I've got the gift of discernment; and it tells me those people are hating life. They're playing the game of life like everyone else instead of playing their position. Everybody's not King James or Queen Sharmell (WWE fame), maybe we're supposed to be us. Many of us think the same because that's what is accepted. Try having a mind of your win. Some of us have our hair the same; because that is what's accepted. Try wearing your hair differently. Many of us are living like other people are living, try living your own life (dreams, bills, plan, way of life). Somebody else's truth is not your truth. Your truth is not someone else's truth. The only objective truth is God and life on this earth. Man has to subject to them however these objective truths come to him (individually).
I'm learning to be my own person and hate any form of conformity people try to swing my way. I hope you all begin the search that will (in the words of KillahPriest), "request the universe." Don't sit here living life on everyone else's terms. Live life on your own terms. You'll feel better when you get older.
Til ext time....
