Discopants and Haircuts

I am not quite sure if I have a syndrome whereby I have become a comformist… Taken from an objective stance I might say I have had to conform to certain cutural norms as a way of achieving certain goals. I have had to conform to a new language and way of expression. I have also had to conform to a different way of interacting with people. But I am not quite sure if this is a syndrome.

On the contrary. I actually feel like I have become more of myself here. Having been home for a few years has enabled me to explore myself further. I did and learned new things I never thought I would have had time to learn. I actually believe I am even less of a conformist than I was in the past.

Sure, sometimes you gotta follow the herd to get across the river.. . but that doesn’t mean you have to go to the all-you-can-eat-breakfast buffet afterwords. I don’t think playing the game and following the rules to acheive something makes you a conformist. When you think that you must be and act what others expect all the time, do what you think society expects all the time, and can’t separate your true self from that do you become a conformist. Shit.. word up to whoever posted that little comment in the shoutbox. It got me thinkin.
