The world is already crowded enough. Why strive to be anyone besides yourself? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only one of you in the universe. Delight in being unique and different; as Nieztsche said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t aspire toward the virtues of others.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that society doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want you to be you. Society would rather you be generic and the same as everybody else. This way, it is easier for society to put you inside a box, to classify you, and make you less dangerous, and make you more predictable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have pride in who you are? Do you have pride in yourself? Are you proud or ashamed of being yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
