I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I just really understand what it is to feel like you don't fit in, within your society, within your world, within your family, within whatever. I've always felt like an odd duck so I really understood that.
I did it to myself. It wasn't society... it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing.
I wasn't brought up as a society girl to go to balls and be a debutante and marry the social set and money and go to parties. No one in my family lived like that. And I never wanted to live like that. I was brought up to believe in work. I always wanted a career. Always.
You forget that you do choose your life and there are so many things to be grateful for and I feel like society has gotten to that point where we're always looking for the next and the better and we lose sight of what's actually in front of us.
The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.
I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.
Society just has a way of inhibiting you, which is good and bad.
I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.
Why is it that here in the United States we have such difficulty even imagining a different sort of society from the one whose dysfunctions and inequalities trouble us so?
I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.
