Cool post my brotha!

When I was a teenager, I loved to shock people, because I had the strong urge to see
how caught up they really were in their own game… Now I describe it as “being I-dentified.
So, I totally dressed myself to not fit in, either like a punk, an emo type, or on other occasions like a yuppee, or someone very elegant. (I’m stereotyping here, just because of the lack of better words)
I always got the same reaction from people, regardless of the groups, I deliberately opposed with the way I dressed. The reaction was a wall of prejudice and/or arrogance in some form or another. “You are not welcomed here!”
That really was amazing to see for me at that time. I actually enjoyed the experience immensely, because it taught me that the mind judges and evaluates in a very confined way. Today, I’m doing whatever, and whenever and however I please.
Being yourself is all that counts ultimately!
I still like to provoke and shock people though;) Especially when they think they have “securely”placed me in one of their categories.
I think for a lot of people it is a safe place to be. A place where they have it all figured out, categorized, cataloged, named etc.
Living openly in the unknown and dropping any judgment is a process which starts
from within.
