March 6, 2012 ( Individualism)

Having read a couple of books illustrating the concept of individualism, I decided that I will today share my opinions about it. Individualism is something that sets each and every person unique. Every single person has individuality within them, as each and every one of them is a separate individual. No two individuals on Earth can ever be identical. The problem lies in the express of one's unique individuality. Some people were afraid to be different and conserve their own individualism. In a selfless society where scarification for your brothers is the center of all morals, this will be the case. Individualism marks people different which is promoting inequality. I don't personally think it is important for one to "TRY" to let their individualism shine. Individualism is something that flows naturally in their actions and ways, it will be expressed naturally if one does not try to suppress it. People often mistake blunt speech and capricious actions as signs of individualism, I don't think so. Always speaking of the thing that is on your mind and not concealing your inside thought is not individualism. As mentioned, individualism is what sets you unique from others and it shouldn't be forced out. Blunt speech pattern can be an aspect of a person's personality, but does that set a person as an " individual"? What is an individual? An individual is someone that is different from others with something unique about him. If you were to see someone you dislike and say right to his or her face, " I hate you." Is that individualism? To talk without consideration, is that individualism? I just want to once again emphasize that individualism is not a forced element, if one does not suppress his or her character out of the desire for conformity, he or she is expressing individualism.
