Be different; dare!

But how do you think you can put it beyond question or expect progress when you're doing what everyone was doing since 19 o'long; when you find deviation from norm equal in seriousness to blasphemy?

How can you make your own discoveries when seeking after untried things is not unlike a taboo, and when you don't want to make mistakes for fear of being shamed and judged by pseudo-perfect closed minds?

How can you be different when you regard everything including attitude-induced difficulties, stupidity or outright cruelty as fated circumstances to be endured rather than tackled?

How can you not be satisfied with mediocrity if you keep acting as if God created you to be ordinary, if you fear shooting for the stars simply because people who cannot shoot anything but their mouths are going to talk; eh?
