It seems that I must do everything backwards and take the long road to all of my conclusions. And after just learning to never have conclusions which in itself a contradiction, a
reductio ad absurdum. I wonder often times what sort of place my conclusions hold without religion. When I might be the only one to believe in them what kind of power will they have in opposition to the homogenized industrial society with statistical backgrounds on reality and truth. Will I throw the a wrench to the great machine? Will I check myself in along side some of my most beloved thinkers? Maybe these thoughts are not of opposing nature, but only the results of an individual. But it does seem that society tends to punish the individual. Largely because society is scared and since society can't understand the fully embraced individual we tend to feel threatened by them.
The scary thing about fully embracing individualism is isolation. I feel the fear of loneliness and to be misunderstood (who can really understand you when you skew so far from the norm?)
And thus one is forced to contain themselves within the confines of a hospital as prisoners as opposed to the "normal" person whom imprisons themselves out of the fear of being physically imprisoned.
