The+Silenced-Conformity

Is it fine that people change their natural self to fit a dream?

[|Silenced Photo] [|Blue Eye Photo] “It had occurred to Pecola some time ago that if her eyes, those eyes that held the pictures, and knew the sights- if those eyes of hers were different, that is to say, beautiful, she herself would be different...she prayed for blue eyes.” (Morrison, p. 46)

[|Obama Photo] [|Conformity Photo] Obama was originally for decriminalization until he ran for president, where he now says he is against decriminalization.

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth." - John F. Kennedy

Conformity Work hard, study hard, live quiet, contribute. Fit in, feed the rich, get a job, wear a suit. Shovel dirt, move crates, always give the king his cut. Always consume, never create, be society's slut. Gotta run, can't be late, got no time to feed the dog. Tick the box, tear the slip, don't forget to fill out the log. Got no friends, got no wife, got no time to read. Pay taxes, sit up straight, help the money breed. -Aidan Ross
