Classified Conformist

--------------------------------- Are You a Classified Conformist? -------------------------------- By Alan Forrest Smith This is a story you can discover from. Please read! The bus was packed. It was peak time after work had ended. There wasn't a seat remaining. As some stood holding tightly to the rail one passenger demanded to another that she get off her seat and allow the standing passenger to sit down. The passenger sitting flatly refused despite the fact in the past and probably only the day before she would have reluctantly surrendered her seat as she always did. Not today! The passenger standing told her if she didn't rise and let her have her seat she would call the police and have her arrested. Again she refused. It would have been so much easier for her to simply get up and stand the rest of the journey but she stayed firmly on her seat. Today was different. It began the same. It felt the same. But today was different. You see Rosa Parks was tired. She was tired of the relentless pressure to mold her into something she wasn't. She was fed up of the way she was being treated because of her skin color. She had simply had enough of it. So on her own Rosa stood up against a nation with firmly based racist institution for her rights not as a black person but as a human being. Now that's just a  snatch I read in a magazine but you know it reminded me of every human being ... you ... on the planet today. There always seem to come a point where like Rosa we have had enough. Had enough of the way we are treated. Had enough of what we see daily on the news. Had enough of what we read. Had enough of the direction or lack of direction in our lives. We get to a point where we really do say ... "I have had enough!" It's at that point though one of two things take place. The first one is this. We are told to shut up and get on with it. That's exactly what we do. We are silenced into more of the hum-drum existence until it's repeated time and time and time again. Yeah sure we cry like a baby for an hour or two then ... silence and back under the control of others. The second one is this. A force so powerful, so relentless, so dynamic, so present is unchained within us and allowed to reveal itself for the first time ever. Nothing, no one, no thing can stop it! We finally take control and move the direction of our lives the way we feel is should be. We throw of the shackles and pain of control forever. We really have had enough and it's time for us to show it, to reward ourselves with what we feel we really deserve. That's what Rosa did ... she had enough and finally revolutionized an insidious system for a nation. ( I am not a Rosa parks expert so the details may not be accurate, it's simply an example) Can I ask you... "How is your life right now?" Have you had enough of the way it is? If you have you are not alone. Millions feel the same. Yet millions do nothing about it. Yet BILLIONS do niothing about it. What can you do? Can you smash your daily routine and release the real you? Can you do something today that you have never before done in your life? Can you stop dead in your tracks, get away for a day or two and start to THINK  for yourself and take action beyond that? This system is designed very carefully to keep you under control. To give you just enough to make you happy-ish and to stop you getting of the track that they have pre-set you. You know I know a guy that is 25 years older than me from a job I once had. From the day he began work he thought about how he would have enough cash for his pension. He worked his brains out all of his life, had a well paid job and has recently retired. He told me this... "all those years, all that overtime, all the money invested into my pension. Here I am now touching 70 years old and I still don't have enough cash in the bank to go on a luxury holiday!. It was all a waste of time" That is true. It's from a real man, living a real life. My impression is this ... he lived his life under the control and directions of a system that told him they know what is best when really they just wanted to silence another potential outbreak of humanity. What is it you need? What is it that will make you happy? What is it you have had enough of? You know what? And I really believe this. YOU, you ... YOU! can change anything you want in your life. And I mean absolutely anything. Or are you waiting around, sitting about, hanging out waiting for someone else to do that for you? Here's the bad news. It won't happen. You have to take action yourself. Can you? Will you? Rosa did, others have also but will you? Next time you sit and say to yourself ... " I have had enough" ... take huge action to put it right. When I say huge action I mean ... mountainous action on a scale that you have never done with anything before. Now can be your time for change. You are your change. You have your own power to change anything. You can. But will you? Are you happy to live your life as a classified conformist or will you break free? Just a thought, just another iconoclastic rambling thought for the day. I’d love to know what you think. Go to my blog right now and post a comment.
