Conformity

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Sameness, "equality", popularity, respect?

Are these qualities really what you get when you conform? Some people think yes, while others, no.. For some people, they find some sort of safety in conformity. I believe conformists are people who are trying to be something they're not. Or, they were once alone and lost, trying to find out who they "are". A human being's feelings are not equal, the same as others. Great minds think alike? Not always.
That saying has a good and bad reason. The good, meaning minds have interesting and intricate thinking quality. The bad, meaning great minds are all the same. Where would the world be if there was no diversity in people?? The whole system would fall apart. I think I would change the quote "Great minds think alike" to "Great minds don't always think alike, for many diverse and different reasons."
It just think it makes more sense that way, in my mind. Freedom of speech applies to everyone. Conformity shouldn't, it's out of the question for me.
