Genuine Seekers Are Non-Conformists

We have to be!

Genuine seekers of ultimate truth find that they are non-conformists. They don’t choose to be so, but find conforming to social mores limiting (as any sane person would 🙂 ).

Mores: manners, customs, usages, or habits – social norms within a particular society or culture. Mores determine what is considered morally acceptable or unacceptable within any given culture. 

So, we join a group, a religion or way of thinking, and voilà! We find that we’ve become conformists again. It’s the cosmic joke.

We may think that there is something wrong with us … I did, but came to understand that that isn’t the case. The way that most people conform to tiny circle of social expectations is a shock, with the realisation that people, friends and relatives die without knowing what they are.

Genuine non-conformists don’t choose to be that way; they just see things differently to the ‘learned’. 😀

It’s so easy to live life as a dogmatist.
It’s not so comfortable to be a non-conformist.
