conformism [Theme]

And I know that I myself unconsciously contributed to this, because conformism was instilled from the cradle - and this became my usual style of behavior, while it was necessary to strive for assertiveness.

The whole council was blushed,
The foreheads were tense.

Only one stranger.

A crime for Nietzsche was the state of mind of his contemporaries, their irresponsibility, indifference, generally accepted values, total falsehood. Human averaging, conformism, thoughtlessness - this is who destroys monuments and museums, gives rise to irresponsibility, cowardice, spiritual slavery.

A madman, a person suffering from chronic intellectual independence, do not meet the standards - in our thoughts, speeches and actions - which established the conformists, taking the benchmark ourselves, and because staying at odds with most people. In short, people of unusual or strange. It ought to be noted that crazy people are convicted officials who have no evidence of their own mental health.

If you become a wag in different directions, to please and our, and your, and goes far forward, and the former friends are not hard to please. Choose one of two things: either become a man intelligent and virtuous, or to hear people talking about you, "Ah, what a pleasant and nice guy!" If you prefer the approval of people, Paradise all on the other side - pyanstvu, bloody and otherwise razvratnica, sack up in the wrong hands, do what people like - and you'll get their approval - that's what you were looking for. Yes, don't forget to pose as a jester: you especially will please your friends.

The presence of enemies brings a lot of benefits. For example, they inspire us and are forced to articulate what we believe. The artist Salvador Dali soon realized that there are a lot of qualities that he abhors in others: conformity, romanticism, piety feigned. At each stage of his life he found people who he thought represented antiidle, enemies, against which it was worth fighting for. The first was the poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who wrote romantic poems; the next was Andre Breton, a harsh leader of the Surrealists. The presence of such enemies, against whom he rebelled, inspired by Dali, helped him to gain confidence.

Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind.
Not a yes sir, not a follower
The box Fit, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder.
Just a violent young man,
I was annoyed, wanted freedom.
Dreamed of something more
And wanted to leave his former life.
Not a boy "exactly!", not a conformist.
With the cog, to fit into the stereotype
To take a seat in the hall, get in line...
I was blazing before the thunder.
