The vast majority of people are social conformists, which is good. Chaos would result if this were not so. But change is the 1st Law. Change, especially on a large scale, makes conformists fearful. Though they can agree that change is necessary, very few have the courage to embrace it when the pressure is on. They prefer to cling to the devil they know, shy away from the unknown and keep their seat-belts fastened. They are uncomfortable in the presence of a revolutionary spirit
The true revolutionary is lonely and lives with little company.

that is true. i have experienced it my self. i have been the conformist and the revolutionary. it is so much easier to be a conformist if there are people around. and i am the only revolutionary in my family. so you guessed it........ i am the odd one ...... and people are constantly trying to make a conformist out of me. which is not good for the soul.
a dear friend has gone away.........because he is a revolutionary. i miss him so much. but he has to do what he has to do. i wish him all the happiness and success . wish i could be part of the little company around him.

Mother tells me to get a 9 to 5, but I must follow my heart. The sacrifice of comfort and stability is no sacrifice at all, for comfort without truth is no comfort at all. "Let the dead bury their dead", I say.

the actual experience of everyone being dead and buried is not funny anymore. hot or cold? or simply cynical? read and not dead, however!

from rags to riches profane or austere some lags the stitches insane to compare
though never alone, loneliness comes from business as usual.
