A train, a truck, a trawler...a path less traveled is something the vast majority avoid at all cost. But why?
I have a theory, it's nothing new or earth shattering. Marshall McLuhan said "the medium is the message" ... I say the media are the mindscapers. The ability to think for oneself is a thing of ridicule and scorn. Peer pressure is no longer something to avoid but to embrace.
I fear for those who will be under the control of those who become the elected to make the laws of just a generation or two from now. Intolerance has become the new normal.
I say get/make yourself your own drum...beat hell out of it...and to heck with what anyone who has a problem with it thinks. Take pride in individuality...not conformity...within reason of course.
Frank Zappa said... "without non-conformity there can be no progress" I couldn't agree with him or you @jeffberwick more.
