What is society? That’s one question which doesn’t have a concrete answer. "Its relative", a lot of people would say, and most would say that we as people, all comprise society. If that's true, then why do we judge each other? Why does society need to judge and define rules for its own? Every person is an individual and just like clothes and food tastes differ, thoughts and beliefs are different for different people. Society's a way to bracket everyone into one category- for organization's sake, for the sake of “simplifying”. For people who would rather be accepted by the multitude than follow their hearts, it’s easy- behave the way society asks you to behave.
But what about the so called loner and antisocial guy who wants to help himself live a life and doesn’t judge others and believes in “live and let live”? If society is of grouping people, then why not allow people to be a part of everything whether or not they wear the “socially acceptable” tag. Personally, what would you prefer for yourself? The socially acceptable tag or the happy life where thoughts and beliefs are not judged?
“Hypocrisy in search of social acceptance erodes your self-respect.” - James Watson
