Conforming to Death

The only way to become an individual, or to set yourself apart, is to conform it seems. In order to gain classification, it is necessary to conform to not only the school systems rankings, but also certain demographics. It is important to be involved in things officially. Anyone can say they did anything, but if you write it on paper, it is somehow less ephemeral. The sagacious attitude of those who do not participate is largely due to their being different. When someone is different, calm, and aloof, people tend to assume that they are wise. But is it wiser to do things or to think things? Because it is inevitable that you will think things, why not do both? But hey, maybe that’s just me. I think swords are a much better way to kill someone. They make it more personal. And bludgeons even more so. Because we've invented guns, death has become more impersonal. Because death is more impersonal, everything is more impersonal. This is so because death is something we all share without fail. When we cannot relate as clearly in death, we cannot relate as clearly in life. And according to some, communication and relation is everything.
