Conformity
Isn't it a nice word? Isn't it a comforting word? The kind of word where you can pronounce it over and over again without getting bored. The kind of word where you found solace in. Where you will feel good about yourself. You will feel content. You will feel relax. You will feel at par with your society.
conform [verb] : to behave according to the usual standards of behaviour which are expected by a group or society
Isn't it great? To be able to align ourselves with the society? To be accepted by the society? To let them embrace us with arms wide open and treat us equally without any judgment? Without any differences? Without any bias or prejudice?
Isn't it great to conform in everything?
Media told you how fat you are. How your weight is not ideal. How you will be left behind if you are not careful with your eating.
Yet, you conform.
Advertisement told you how a normal human body should look like. Calvin Klein and Victoria's Secret told you how a normal human body should look like.
Yet, you conform.
They told you that if you have an acne or a pimple, no one will talk to you.
Yet, you conform.
The clown with a peculiar smile and big shoes told you what kind of food you should eat.
Yet, you conform.
A company which manipulates workers from the third world countries told you what kind of footwear you should be wearing.
Yet, you conform.
The biggest capitalist nation in the world told you that most countries are evil, and they should be demolished from the face of the earth.
Yet, you conform.
MTV told you what kind of music and trend you should follow.
Yet, you conform.
People around you told you what you should think, how you should behave, who should be your friends, what and where you should eat, what you should do.
Yet, you conform.
They can put a Desert Eagle on your temple and paint the wall with your brain.
Hell, you will still conform.
Kudos to you people. Comformity makes you happy and content. Why change the status quo?
And why frown if you fell in deep shit?

Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don't need. Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't really need. ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 19
