here I am in a room, constructed much like the one you are in. you are without a doubt looking at a computer much like mine. yet oddly enough despite our surroundings we retain such a level of individualism sometimes its hard to understand.
Im still going to high school currently a sophmore and it never fails to suprise me how often some one will gasp gawk or gag at our own oppinions or belifes. I personally am an atheist, and as you would expect it comes as a suprise to many. I get alot of "you just havent found you're path yet." but see this is what i mean by "hard to understand" why must some one be like ourselves? why must someone belong to something?
I do not consider my self indefferent from this funny habit. I LOVE starwars and cant understand why someone els dosent, or when i like a certain food and some one els dosent its just, well odd. its just the way we are, who knows how complex we are to vary on such, miniscule matters but this reality can be much more seriouse than a disagrement of "vanilla or chocolate?".
not that this post will save lives or change the world like my title its just one of those thoughts that sparks an inner mental debate.
so continuing with this idea of icredible individualism. first i think( confirming my idea of accusation) "why cant every one see what i see?" but then i realize. I dont see what they see,for better of for worse no one can admit defeat in a debate about personal belifes, we defend them with tooth and nail. unfortunatly this makes us prone to attacking or challanging someone els's personal belifes or ideas. relegiouse extremism is just one of the many ways individualism can be intensly severe. to many 911 comes to mind when on this issue but there are so many cases. the white supremissist kkk for example.
its just odd that when it comes to what we belive in, we take such extreme measures to make it heard.
kind of makes you wish we would all just write a blog about it.
