Following the crowd is easy and the path of least resistance. Do you notice how when you attempt to act in a manner that is not "normal" how much resistance you get from family and friends? The resistance may not necessarily be obvious. There may be subtle hints, body language, and other signs of disapproval that are 'beneath the surface'.
Going 'with the flow' is the norm these days and expected behavior. There is a comfort in knowing that everyone is doing, acting, and being the same. However, the truth is we are ALL ONE no matter how we choose to act and BE. Part of the joy of this experience is we have free-will to choose the life we wish to experience. Unfortunately, free-will has been dampened by our various societies and is frowned upon whenever it goes against the perceived norms dictated by societal beliefs.
I'm not saying or judging that "flying with the flock" is in any way bad or wrong. What does your heart say? Isn't there something within you that cries out for expression? Have you accessed that Power within? When you are doing something which feeds the joy within, you are living life as it was meant to be. Experiencing joy and harmony in life is the purpose for which we exist. As Dr. Wayne Dyer says the Seven Faces of Intention are: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. Living a life based on expressing these intentions will allow you to experience something "the flock" may not lead you to.
A quote by Pericles:
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."
Namaste
