Our lives and even our thoughts are controlled, with the help of the media and the infrastructures of social norms. It is only a strong mind and a strong personality, which can rise above all the petty limitations, to develop and spread the wings of a creative mind and a limitless imagination, which can guide the rest of humanity, to the Camelot of freedom of the mind and spirit. A creative mind is a free mind. I think we have all in one way anothe given up our individuality, as we all have to conform to the rules of a controlled society.

Yes there are some who follow in their own footsteps in life, but many choose to follow others. If that is what is to be called 'master plan', then most already follow such a lifestyle through their rituals, systems and expectations. It all boils down to personal choice. My own personal opinion rides with that people will choose a world where they are living under certain structures in order to feel safe and secure. There is no master plan about that, it is all evident to see. We will see in the future it play out even more. <br /> <br /> Open your eyes, you are also already part of it. When a person criticizes another for how they look, what they do, how they act...these are all conformities. If anyone has done this at any time in their life towards another, they are living in a world driving towards regimentation, conformity, order, structure and ritual. We are all a part of it, whether we believe it or not...through our own choice (whether that be called personal philosophy or not).

Good piece.
Thanks,

The more people in the world, the more there becomes a desire for control and organization. However without individuality life cannot grow new ideas into fruitation, it becomes stagnant in its approach towards life. (Like for instance the producing of weapons over the funding of science and technology. People will only focus on producing that what is necessary to contol and keep order.) Most might say that there needs to be balance, but unfortunately balance only produces, in this instance, confusion and arguments relating to values and ideal principles, hence our society today, a society that cannot agree on anything. I think in the future we will balance more in the way of control, rather than in the way of individuality, mostly for the reason of safety and security. Precisely!
