Being different can be awesome too

Most of the people do not realize that we are all bounded to the invisible social infrastructure.

Because we are bounded to this, we are automatically punished and criticized when we go against the norms of society. In a way, it's like we're being stripped of some freedom.

We can never fully act to our own liking for society is always keeping an eye on us. Constantly watching until we make a wrong move that will go against the so called stereotyped social norms. A perfect example for this is homosexuality. A man or woman that acts their opposite counter is automatically criticized by society and granted as outcasts for they do not act within the norms.

What is depressing about this is the fact that some people are disgusted with the very sight of people acting beyond normal. Regardless if they did anything wrong, they are automatically seen as a black sheep of society. Just more reasons on why people can never get along. The problem about racism still has no end and yet, we're already dividing the community from people who act normal from the people who act what they want to act.

But being different doesn't mean that everything will be going downhill. It still has some advantages to. Being different gives you a sense of uniqueness, something that only you can do and what makes you yourself. It separates us from the stereotyped social culture and gives us a personality that can only be found in ourselves and no one else. It is this uniqueness that gives us a distinction from the rest of the crowd.

Whether you're gay, emo, gangsta, or just plain poser, be happy with who you are and if others hate it, then ignore them for they just stick to the social infrastructure. Have some freedom in yourself and never let your own distinction be taken away from the people who proclaim that what you're showing is wrong.
