"The human race is not yet free." -Ben Okri
Society is confomity! To conform all to the "standards" and "expectations" of society is the goal. It takes our childhood ignorance and thought process and molds us to do its bidding. Making puppets out of us all. To this conformity I shake my head and stand my ground. I will not become another drone for the government. I will not lose my ability to think or imagine. I will stomp my feet and scream if I have to. Leave me and my ideals alone. Society you will not conform me.
The error in humankind here is that they let this conformity happen without a fight. They are ignorant to it or just accept it. This is why I am an artist, I see this and refuse to let it happen to me.
