People take great comfort in crowds.
“If everyone else is doing it, I should be too” is continously drummed into us.
We should not be fooled by this illusion.
We sacrifice our happiness to live up to society’s ‘norms’ in exchange for what exactly?
In exchange for not ‘standing out’ from the crowd? For not to be noticed. For wanting to be labelled as being “normal”.
Nobody is normal. It is impossible to be normal. It doesn’t exist.
You have been created the way you are. You are not an ‘outsider’ in this world. You belong here like everyone else.
Accept yourself as you are. You are already complete.
“The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.”
Osho
