Madness is of divinest sense!
Throughout the years, I have contemplated over and over again why it is that we idolize those people who are superficial and those who conform to the societal norms. I have come to the realization that the first world society as we know it today is inherently insane, and the only sane people in this world are the ones who are deemed to be crazy. It is the people in this world that do unusual and strange things who are actually more sane than you can ever begin to imagine. Those freak shows who pepper their face with metal rings and hooks and barbs and pins are actually the sanest people in the world because they could not possibly care less about what society thinks of them. Those of you who find yourselves following the crowd are the mad ones in this world. You may think that you are sane, but you don't realize that you have a terrible disease that can only be cured by a heavy dose of sanity.
Our whole world is insane, and those of you who care about the whims of your shallow friends have no idea how insane you really are. You just like to pass yourself off as sane because it makes you feel accepted, when really nothing could be further than the truth.
Only the crazies will hate this post.

Eh. that variety of "insanity" or contrasted "sane" is really a matter of degree, and relativism. I wholly acknowledge that rejecting culture is a fine philosophy, but it has its own set of problems. Mainly, rejecting culture itself can and frequently does become a culture itself. Self-referential paradoxes and all that. I think that you have come to some fine conclusions, but they are still not wholly developed. I suggest then that you don't become comfortable with your current world view, looking at the world with a "us vs them" mentality. There is quite a bit more there for you to discover, and provided you keep questioning your assumptions, you will continue to evolve. Just remember not to fall into a conforming to non-conformity trope, because it frequently stops people from asking the pertinent questions.

Eh. I disagree. I think it's stupid to try and be so superficially shallow like all the other celebrities but I don't think the people chasing that dream are insane. They are just under the misguided notion that looking pretty will make them happy.
