society... a community of organisms... a group of persons with a common culture....
a system of beliefs and behaviors acted out by the participants.
i think society itself as a concept can be thought of as an organism itself... with a need to survive, and a fear of change. society has a mind of its own.
like a gang, where a member tries to leave, tries to improve his own life, causes the gang to want to kill him.
society rejects change, rejects the mere idea of one of its members detaching from it, or seeking a better way.
society imposes a lot of shame on people... afraid to be shamed by others to the point where you are afraid to say anything out of the norm.... internalizing society's needs and expectations...

does anything im saying make sense?
to you, maybe not. to me, it does. so who is right then?
i think we all are.
you can call me crazy, but i believe certain things.... like i believe i am more in tuned with my senses than someone who does Not "hallucinate".
and for the sake of fitting into society and being able to survive, i keep these beliefs to myself (for the most part).
society will reject me and i will not survive in the human rat race if i say whats really on my mind.
