Someday I would love to join a nonconformist gathering...to see one nonconformist conforming to another.
I want to see if there too they remain as much unbending in actions and interactions...or tacitly seek fitting conformity from fellowmen just by dropping the 'label' in the comfort of a kindred company?
Does a nonconformist nonconform only in conformists' presence?
Befriending a nonconformist is the quickest way to be a nonconformist. There exist the perpetual 'nonconformists'...and there are those who just nonconform occasionally - as a welcome reprieve from the grind of conforming. A nonconformist, ideally, needs an establishment or thought...an object to espouse or expunge. Some nonconform since birth and some to requite. And some nonconform without knowing what it's all about. And some gloriously do so upon imagining the infallible prospect of infinite popularity inherent in a nonconformist label. Touché!
They all fail to see nonconformity as a situational and social weapon to be used with caution and care.
Conformity is the highest kind of nonconformity. When deep within you know the distinction yet do not distinguish. When all that you carry is your awareness and not the carrier...without yielding to any normative chore known to man.
