Ever thought why things happen the way they do?
Ever wondered – ‘What if it hadn’t happened that way?’
Ever mulled over not having to do something just because you don’t want to…..
Welcome to the world of non-conformism. Why do you have to get up in the morning and go to office? Why can’t it happen at an other time of the day?
Why do ‘All good things come to an end’ have to be?
It almost amazed me when I realized how robot like I have become over the years of my existence. Nodding my head in approval ‘cos i was told to do so.
If you dis-agreed then there used to be a barrage of reasons thrown at you at infundibulous speeds, as to you shouldn’t.
Come to think of it, man has been non-conformal in one way and conformal in the other, something like the two sides of a coin.
Take for instance the story of evolution. Man decides not to conform to Mother Nature’s whims of keeping him an ape, so he evolves. But then the moment he evolved, he conformed to not eating raw meat, and not sniffing up other humans rear ends.
Take for instance the story of evolving transportation. Man decides not to be bound by the force of gravity, so comes up with airplane. But who the hell on planet earth asked him to build it in the shape of a cigar. Why not like a flying saucer (the U.F.O kinds)??? Why not like my mom’s upside-down cakes?? Why Why WHHHHHHYYYYYYY???
Pondering over the issue leads me to one singular conclusion….. SECURITY…….
WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT……
I know half of you who read this would be saying the same….
But it is sadly true.. By being conformal, one develops a sense of falsified security, a fortknoxic feeling in a hut..
He feels he is at no danger of needing to change his style, way, or attitude towards life. But aren’t we our own masters, at least isn’t that what everyone wants to be. To dictate his own terms , to lay his own roads and to lead life the way he deems fit. But NO.. Sad but True the answer is NO. Tough everybody aspires for the above-said things no one in reality wants to implement them. Because they do not want to take the pains of being pioneers in doing it. Pioneers I say… People in their sane (in –their- sane) minds would agree if I called them samples, rather than examples. नमूने they’d be called… For what, for bloody not agreeing with you and me.. Half… In fact more than half of the things that we know, or claim to know are because of people who didn’t give two hoots to being called a नमूना.
Conformity binds you to extents where you are forced to think all people who do not think the way you do are non-conformal idiots. Hello, if your dad and mom thought the same way they wouldn’t be your dad and mom.
People talk big, about free thinking, innovation, parallel thoughts, crapo this and crapo that and blah and blah and blah….. endlessly. How do they think others will achieve these goals without thinking out of the box, without, even for the milllionth zillionth pentahyperexaggeratedillionth part of a second becoming NON-CONFORMAL.
Non-Conformism is not a disease that you should ostarcize someone for being so. Encourage him/her to being non-conformal. It is human nature, to return to a stable state, much like the elements. So no one is going to remain a nonc (my term for non-conformists) for the rest of his life. He’ll soon be conforming……………….. To being non-conformal……………
Give it a thought……….. As usual I am open for comments..
Ciao
