Conformity comes in many forms and like the barriers in our lives, it’s the ones we are unaware of that have the greatest control over us. We are conditioned from an early age to fit in, to behave in a way that brings approval from those around us with reward and punishment as an incentive to behave in a socially accepted manner. Standards, values and discipline are necessary to build and develop character, but any virtue taken to the extreme becomes problematic and potentially destructive. Discipline and the rules and regulations that underpin it may start out as corrective guidance, but if left unchecked can quickly spiral out of control and a form of restrictive control implemented for its own sake.
In an age of information and technology ignorance is a choice; unfortunately as we embrace this technology we are sacrificing the ability to think for ourselves. Television informs us what is real, and social media keeps us posted as to what’s important in our lives like selfie’s, cute cuddly animals and pictures of food you really shouldn’t be eating. We have imaginary friends who are happy and content to play imaginary games enjoying the imaginary freedom it brings.
