Lots of people happily surrender the cold unknown of self-determination for the warm embrace of conformity. Conformity simplifies, affirms, and diffuses accountability. It's easy to understand the temptation.
- Joker_vD 3y agoBesides, it's not like the chances that you will self-determine yourself into a better person than if you went for conformity are that good: after all, it's your first time doing this while the society, on the other hand, has lots of past experience with that, right?
- gnz11 3y agoIt's just being human. Everyone "surrenders" to conformity in some way, shape or form. In some aspects of life you will be part of an in-group, in others you may lean towards non-conformity. Nothing to do with "temptation" here.
- Spivak 3y agoAnd you have to conform in some aspects to be nonconformist. If you don't conform in every aspect of your life that's like getting all the answers wrong on a true/false test. Your behavior is just as rigidly defined by society's expectations of you.
