Asserting Individuality

[Ariya]

Ask questions. Ask "Why?". Don't just accept what someone tells you. By doing that, you are allowing them to run your thoughts.

Question religion, music, television, poetry, education, trends, humor, and everything else around you. Question it, form your own opinions.

There's far more beneath the surface.

Don't follow what everyone thinks is cool, follow what you think is cool. Follow what you think is right.

You are an individual. Express it.

but don't question your questions, cuz then you end up in a circle of fallacious reasoning.
otherwise, good call.

You are an individual. Express it.This is something I've been practicing since I was born... ; )
Because I believe that questions are the creative acts of one's intelligence.

You said, "You are an individual. Express it". I would like to refer to a meaning of "individual" and a common belief that exists in our US society.
There is a commonly spread opinion that each and every person is special.... special??? I must disagree. Special is not an accurate term to describe each and every person. Everyone is unique. We are all the same.. I could compare people to Snow Flakes. We are all made from the same thing - water, but each and every is unique - each and every comes in different shape, size and design. You won't find two Snow Crystals that are the same. However, in general we come from one.

Everything you are and have ever known means nothing. It is not even a ripple, not even the equivalent of an atom trembling, compared to the big picture. Humans... the earth... our solar system... our galaxy... they are not even big enough to be a tiny minuscule smudge on a molecule that is on a smudge on the universe. It's a big place. We are very small.

I'll insert individuality when no-one is looking.

[soulten]

I tend to keep my "whys" to myself to make it easier to others but I love to question the normal and the accepted. My opinions are my own and your opinions are welcome but that doesn't mean i'll accept them, thats what I go by.

not to pussy cats and puppy dogs. they're rather unaware of space travel if I may be so bold as to venture into their thoughts. babies as well have little comprehension of why their diaper is fill with the poopoo, much less what the galaxy is. Also, Giants refuse to accept this as fact because it would make them relatively equivalent in size to normal sized people when we're all measured to the vastitude of the cosmos. Those giants are stubborn and enjoy holding their stature over our heads like something being held on to the upper portions of their bodies......

I agree on this. Every person is an individual and thus each and every sees things in a different way.
