Quote:Why would you question your own judgement ? Because to not do so means that you don't truely know why you do something, you do it just because you do or you believe it right. In the end, Society is built around fitting in and no matter what people say, it's true. There are different levels to this but essentially, if you don't fit with the rules, your doing something illegal or potentially abusive.I disagree a lot with doing something illegal or abusive bit. Sinice it is true that social norms do dictate a lot of the laws that come into play they do not determine what is or isnt legal. Example:
Homosexuals are alienated because they dont fit in with societies rules. They are berated and belittled to no extent for doing nothing wrong, nothing illegal or abusive in the sense.
No matter how alienated you are, there will always be some group that shares your view or opinion, even if you have to start that group. Essentially, if everyone didnt fit in, everyone would fit in.
