As Americans we are raised on the ideals of self expression, the rebellious principles of our founding fathers, yet we succumb to the most deliquent manifsetations of conformity. With the country split in a very defined two halves over politics, it seems that my generation has become lost among the way. We often take sides without asking why. Do we really know what we're rebelling against or campaigning for? Or did someone stick a sign in our hand and pushed us into a crowd. We take what were given, and we're told that our protests and campaigns are for change, but change is no longer legitimate when it is merely installing an old concept into a drone. We've been dictated what rebellion is, and use everyone else's standards but our own to measure ourselves. To grade ourselves. To see just how rebellious, or just how successful we are. Whether thats constituted by the approval of an elder, whether your parents want you to own a house, have a family, go to a suit and tie job every morning. Who made them so high and mighty? There's not reason for success other than one's own motives. Owning a house, having a family, going to a job, they should be parts of a life that only wants them in their life, not because there was pressure too.
