Conformity!!
What is conformity? When I heard it first time, the word sounded complex to me . Here is, google answer “ Conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms, politics or being - minded!!.Umm. still complex! Sometimes google also gives up a word where I need to go for another google tab. Well, it is not google mistake. The word is that complex.π€π€
Here is my version of Conformity. It is nothing but to say “YES” for everything and more importantly “blindly follow” what is been told to you! Whether it is for a good reason or for a crime! Ultimately, Reflect and Represent a group!. Here, one does not have think too much.. Follow the rule book or the person who stands in front of you..!π
So, is it good? Have I practiced conformity in my life? The answer is Yes!! On typical situation, esp today , on covid lockdown period, it is better to follow the rules than being outstanding i.e being at home , wear mask and maintain social distance!!π
Where I found this conformity is as funny as it could be or makes you to loose self -value:
Some of the typical scenario I have seen in office business meetings.π
- Manager
says meeting at 4:30. it is 4:30..! whether you have guest or your tea time!
- Manager
says there needs a comma , yes comma is Valid! Not semicolon! Vastu problem..Huh?
- Manager
says sun rises west.. Yes sun rises west.. lol..
Well, it is so funny right? Have your voice heard! If we keep following the rule books then there is no twist in life. if we go on that way, then RIP to innovation and creative! We may not have the great leaders like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many others. They did what they believed is right and created a history! Is your history needs special edition or copy of others? Uhmm..before you get into deeper thought..let see one more side of conformity.. apart from being funny,it could be dangerous too..
Well, where it could be? At this moment, these are places where I can think of: πΉπΏ
- Child
marriage!
- Social
norms that does not respect the humanity!
- Life
style that cost your happiness!
The reward of conformity is that everyone likes you except
yourself!!π
Meet you in next blog!
