Destruction is a form of Creation

Do you have an issue fitting into these societal ideological molds?  If so, you have every opportunity to be whom you want to be.  Yes, you will be different.  No, you are not guaranteed a following of devout disciples to whom will spread your ideas across the lands and make you a legend.  Nor are you even guaranteed mere acceptance via society.  You are able to say you are true to yourself - so long as you are doing whatever you deem socially rebellious for your own spiritual gain and not social gain.  That's simply contradicting.  But yes, you have every opportunity to be whatever you want to be granted you have the will and the resources or the will to attain and manipulate the resources required.  

So the first question here today is what would you be if not a societal ideology?  The second quiz I will be talking myself through is: why do we strive to be a copy of something/someone we see as socially successful? 

Question uno:  What is there left to be if not what is already claimed?  This is like an explorer trying to find land to call his own in today's established world.  There is no longer undiscovered spans of potential living space here on Earth.  Yes, the ocean floor has not been completely mapped.  No, it is not practical living on the ocean floor a lifetime.  Just like living under an ocean of debt is impractical.  I guess a Sandy Cheeks is possible with the correct resources but let's not get into far-fetched hypotheticals, shall we?  So if each nation is a different genre of person you can be (Great Britian/hipster, Canada/hippie, Russia/goth, Japan/geek, etc.), each with its own boundaries and vast spaces to explore.  Each culture will own prodigies and disgraces alike.  Each will have a variety of choices within its distinct style.  

Today, there is a 6 billion plus human populace on Earth.  That is today.  Yesterday is the history of the human race and the countless that made names for themselves or ... did not.  But the fact of the matter is, creativity is a recycling of someone else's thought.  One man's trash is another man's treasure.  Granted, we claim a completely different spectrum of resources than yesterday's man did, but still - how can there be a new without exploring an entirely new world?  Earth has been discovered, explored and recorded.  In other words, who can you be if not socially accepted by some form or another?  Even an outcast is recognized as part of an outcast group.  Same with outlaws and sheep and future people and retrograders.  There can no longer be a "new".  Only a recycled and celebrated idea.

Beg to differ?  Please, debate this!  I loath admitting creativity is a dream or fantasy, but I have come to terms with reality and this is what I have come to recognize as the truth.  So the question comes ... why do we strive to revert into another's skin?
