Society's standards and expectations

Sn1perJohnE Wrote:I read in a book that was fictional about Ragnarok in the times of Norsemen, that Change is born from Chaos. Throughout the book, the idea that Evil is one force and Good is another, that there must be a champion for both of these forces. In the end, the "Champion" was a single man, who, by a mental disability, was able to wield both Evil and Good.

For me, the only way for the world to progress is the removal of things that prohibit the advancement. There are easily a number of things that can be listed for that, but an easy one, that probably wont be removed any time soon if at all, is religion. Religion absolutely rejects (except for some) the views of other religions, thus stopping them from learning from one another. If you remove religion, the ideals put forth by them would still exist, but instead of it being "good for your soul" it would just be "good for humans (or humanity)."

So in all, I believe that Chaos brings Change and advancement, disorder and destruction can bring about new things, new ways of thinking that would allow for further advancement.

So burn a church today! Glitter

OK, stupid-idea-that-will-get-you-shot aside, this is true.
As for me, the line between breaking rules and following them is common sense and individuality. Those that are too much of a coward to, say, save someone they know is good but the law hunts, and those that are pricks that break every rule and get themselves killed via stupidity, are both on the radical side. It's truly finding the right balance for you that makes you an individual. Without individuality, we shall never evolve.
