As we dive deeper into our mindset and create awareness,  we must understand the difference between conformity and morality. Take a second to consider whether your actions are the ones you choose to make or if they are a byproduct of your circumstances and society. Though it could be a mix of both, we are in interesting times as a global population. So much misinformation is portrayed as a lie, but it is the truth. Do you conform to that, or do you begin to dissect what is morally correct and conform to your own belief?

When we begin to define what conformity is, it is compliance with standards, rules, or laws. This means what you do is considered normal and accepted behavior. However, this accepted behavior intertwined with standards, rules, and laws has one other definition presented by the woke culture of the world, and that is opinion.

The opinions someone holds have the same power mentally over our minds. Though opinion has no weight legally, the brain has difficulty differentiating between the two because it evokes the same thought patterns. The same is true with fear. You can have a fear of being attacked by a lion and a fear of giving a presentation in front of an audience. The brain will see that fear as the same thing.

The most dangerous thing about conformity is that it is now mainly rooted in opinions and beliefs. This is one of the major reasons why people cannot be cordial with one another, and there is a divide in cultures and nations. The fix for this is more complex than making opinions irrelevant because people would continue gravitating toward people with similar ideals and mindsets. That means you can have your opinions and hang around a group of fixed-mindset individuals, and you will see that an idea or standard they have will influence your thought process.

Though having people with the same thoughts, feelings, and actions is not bad, it can be one of the reasons you are not where you want to be in life. If you conform to someone’s ways and mindset, you must do your due diligence to ensure that it will lead you to where you want to go. You do not want to hang around people who do not have your desired interest at heart. I am sure I can get along with almost any group I am in, but it doesn’t mean that group will serve me justice.

We have evolved with the basis of community and a tribelike mindset for hundreds of thousands of years, and we will continue to do so. People need people to survive, but people do not need people to live better lives. As a community, we help each other by working together in some aspect. For example, the food we eat comes from a farmer who cultivated his lands to provide us with sustenance, and you give money for those goods purchased that you acquired through some means of labor or service. The trading system is outdated, but it continues to work.

Looking away from why we need to be in a community and conform to the standards, we must consider why we shouldn’t just conform for conformity’s sake. You should not simply conform because you are not the same as the people around you. Yes, you might have similar ideas and mindsets, but what you can do is unique. You are unique and must learn to express yourself with no filter. Many people are willing to keep the peace or do what society needs before looking at their own life and asking what they want.

This leads us to the morality aspect of the conversation. Morality means the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad. This term tells you what is correct and what is not. However, when placed as what is morally correct for a culture or a nation, we begin to find two sides pitting against each other. A recent and great example is the recent Pandemic of Covid.

Many people lost so much during these years and are still recovering from this period. In a sense, we are still in a pandemic, but it is not one of illness but of mindsets. So many mindsets were tarnished due to the pandemic has created a void in how people think and operate, so many mindsets have been tarnished. The best example I have found is the Covid-19 “vaccine.” People were told that if they got this shot, they would not get sick, but sadly that didn’t turn out to be the case. It was the second biggest sham of this decade, the first being BLM.

In both examples above, morality was placed as the mental cue to invoke people to join the movement. People would say things like, I don’t need the shot, but I’m doing it so we can get back to normal or I am doing it to make sure I do not get anyone else sick. Yet, this logic is flawed because the hospitals right now, as I write this, have more Covid 19 positive patients who had the “vaccine,” and now these people are getting people sick. It is almost ironic.

Though I see why people would think this way, we must understand that morals are personal. However, people will think about their morals and expect others to follow. The problem with blindly following the crowd is that you can not see the cliff you are walking towards until you are already falling. Though people will argue against that notion, I cannot tell you how many people have felt duped these past few years. They were told promised and given lies.

The plus side of what is morally correct is that it helps evolve your character. This is your moral compass at work. For example, you will not go around punching people in the face because there are laws we must conform to as a society, but also, there is a feeling we will feel on the inside that tells us that is wrong. I believe that many humans do not want to hurt someone else. Though most people respect the sanctity of life, there will be some evil individuals who have a screw loose, cannot see what is morally correct, and cannot conform to beneficial actions.

The difference between conformity and morality will be based on geographic location and personal upbringing. You will have to have knowledge of all the rules and laws and understand people and how the brain works to get a good grasp of which is what. Remember to do your due diligence before you follow the crowd, and understand your choice does not need to influence another person. Feel free to question why they made that choice because it will help you understand that people all have different paths to take in life, and you cannot take every path offered to you, but you can learn from others.

Until then,
