PROTEST AGAINST THE RISING TIDE OF CONFORMITY

I look down and see that I am the same as another person.  I see the same swoosh, the same coffee cup, the same telephone, the same ear phones, the same jeans and the same hair cut.  I notice that you and I are the same...  Exactly the same.
But then I look away and I feel a person that is not the same.  I look away and I feel a person that is different.  I see a person that comes from a place of love, in spite of fear.  I see a unique individual that loves difference, someone that isn't afraid of it.  Someone who can acknowledge it and cherish it.  Someone who is honest.
Then I think, why?
Am I the only one?
Am I crazy?
And then I realize, no.  It's just a hard thing to see.  We are evolving.  We are becoming more, better, stronger, faster, more connected...  Less unique, and less individual.
Protest against the rising tide of conformity.
