Conventionality?

Meaning: Conformity with conventional thought and behavior.

Is this really where we want to be? Conventional, I don't want to be conventional! In a box, predictable, that's not for me!

Yes I have to conform at work because I have to pay bills. Is that who I am? No it is not! How do I, we, stand up for what is right? How do we stand up and still pay the bills? How do we achieve those higher levels of understanding while still adhering to conventionality? It seems impossible.....

My heart says one thing .. my brain ... says the same thing (with a warning)! Follow your heart! Has conventionality given you a better sleep at night? No it has not!!

Why not stand up for what you believe in? Fear? Yes, fear it is! Will that immobilize me? No it will not! I can still act.. in today’s society we can out think conventionality and the "Good ole Boys" will be none the wiser.

We the peons can still have a voice and support those who speak up without losing safety.  Safety may sound weak to some, however to those of us who have no one but ourselves to fall back on, this makes perfect sense!

So speak up -- anonymously -- do it for all of us!! Practice anonymously, there is nothing wrong with scripting your conversation before actually having it, and before you know it you will be having your conversation with others.
