Lemmings

I want to write about what I call Lemmings. Lemmings are those people that those of us despise who seem to radiate everything they are not. Meaning, they are the fakers that go around pretending to be something they are not just to fit in. They do it so much that those of us who are unique and sometimes considered weird are often repulsed by the sight and sound of them. We can't stand to be in the same space as them and yet more often than not we are surrounded by them. It's funny in a world that deems itself a place where you can "be what you want when you grow-up" that so many people become something they barely even know just to say they belong. Is society so screwed up that we actually believe this? Or is it some chemical imbalance in most of the population's brains? I know that if I had to choose to be "weird" or a Lemming that I would choose the former. For at least I can say that I did what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. Not to say that there aren't those things in life that we have to do a certain way but at least if I have to do them I can do them as me, not as the me that someone else sees in me. I don't understand this phenomenon but I do know that as long as we accept the "lemmings" they will just grow in number. So therefore, I say fight and rise against the injustices of the world that says we have to be this way or that just to fit in. However, if you are totally happy with a marshmellow brain and no self will then hey be my guest. Just leaves more mystery for the rest of us!

Don't be a lemming!
