Here's something I truly believe and live by. I hope it helps you.
When you break down a human being.
What makes them tick? What makes them be?
Are we really any different?
Take a look at all the people you see and study them.
What do you see?
The answer is simple.
When you break down society's silly etiquettes, shear away the lies of ignorance and politics.
What we're left with is a common goal.
Like the animals of this world we merely strive to survive.
But unlike regular animals we have the ability to think and reason.
When survival became simple we lost our touch with other animals and nature.
We learned surviving was easy if we stole the fruits of another, we became lazy.
So we made rules that became law.
Yet the laws were biased in the favor of those making them.
We made politicians to help us make the rules fair, and for a short time it worked.
But as before they too became corrupt in their greed and starting taking from the labor of those that support them.
The politicians and those under them needed balance.
Society promised to answer this by handling the needs of the majority.
The majority was able to live with these new pressures because it was all from their making.
Then there was the minority. The outcast from the majority.
Society exhausted it's energy beating the minority to conform like the rest.
Politicians ignore their cries and anguish, since they are fueled by the majority.
Some minorities that can bend try to, and some succeed, or they try to hide being different.
Those that cannot bend continue to take the wrath of everyone. They have no protection.
You see, the majority wants happiness, just as much as the minority.
However in that quest it tramples the happiness of the rest. Since the forces opposing the minority are large. Life is a challenge.
However,
Along the way everybody forgot what it meant to live.
Society said it was for a great purpose. That everything had meaning.
Politicians absorbed with power, didn't care one way or another.
The majority wasn't effected because all of these forces revolve around them anyway.
But those left out were left to a life of loneliness, sadness, hate, and discrimination.
The purpose of life is to live it. It is to survive all odds even if nothing more then to spite the world when the world is turned against you.
I do not need society to comfort me at night.
I will stand either alone or united against the onslaught of politicians who evade my conviction.
I accept myself, even if society can't.
I will live this life given to me.
By living without regard to society, without regard to the majority of people that surround me, without the politicians laws to protect me...
I will be an individual.
I will find my happiness without the crutches that the majority rely on and laugh at their ignorance.
I will thrive on what I've accomplished without the help of a narrow minded society.
So long as the world bears down on me, I will be me.
For no laws, no thought, no person..
Could ever make me change.
The world will never keep me down,
Nymph
