Society's standards and expectations

Conformity is crap. If everyone's doing the same routine, you won't end up anywhere different from where you started, which inhibits growth completely. Consider that most rules have punishments, if you figure out that the result of breaking that rule would be much better than leaving it be, and suffer the consequences, wouldn't you break the rule? The line is drawn on an individual's intuition, where one believes that they are truly right despite any rule or commonly known beliefs that society holds. With conformity, everyone would follow the rules, everyone would stay safe, everyone would lead the same boring lifestyle and end up where people before them have.

We change and advance by ignoring the rules, and pushing the limits so that humanity as a whole can advance (unfortunately, most people are so biased towards their own views they are unlikely to consider other perspectives leaving us where we start). But, this is what separates conformity from greatness, those who are willing to push the limits despite any obstacle in their path. Some have it easy, some have it hard, but their contribution is the same nevertheless.

To sum it up: When people actually think, rules don't matter.

I agree with your post, sometimes, we have to go out of our 'standards' zone and do things, take risks, and try new things, though albeit, some things will be immorral, however, it could lead to mankind's betterment. I also wondered if there's such of a thing as knowing too much, or the dangers of curiosity. We won't really know an exact answer, so only time will tell, I suppose?

A bit off topic but, that's why I love Fringe.
