RE: On Refusing to Comply With Expectations!
Just because the majority of the world is doing something and calling it "the accepted way" does NOT make it the right thing!
Yes, that is absolutely true. In some areas—especially in rural parts of my country—if you engage in actions, behaviors, or ideas that differ from the majority, you will be ostracized.

Certainly. There are definitely situations in which it feels like "compliance is essential."
A friend of mine (from the country) had a lot of opposition to wanting to go to University because none of his family had ever had a higher education. They all protested that he thought he was "better than them."

Wow, your comment reminds me of the story of a young village woman who faced opposition from her fellow villagers when she wanted to go to college, simply because no girl from their village had ever pursued higher education after finishing high school. Most girls would either work in a factory or get married right after graduating.
