no good deed goes unpunished…
The eternal struggle of the individual versus society. Those of us who refuse to conform…where does it get us? We know who we are, or at least we think we do. But what then? Does that help us find happiness? Is it better to conform and think we’re happy rather than suffering and attempting to find what we think to be true happiness? Life is hard for everyone, conformists and non. But sometimes I wonder if I should give up this fight. If I should just let society win. Can I even do that? I mean, in the long run, society will go on. But I won’t. Maybe it would just be better for everyone if I just stopped fighting. Can I even cross that line back again? Do I even want to? I don’t think I do now…maybe I will someday. Maybe when society beats me down far enough. Not now though I don’t think. Fuck you society. I may go down, eventually, but I’m not going down without a fight. I shall be the gallant, tragic hero, the individual fighting against the big bad society. Inner heroism…that’s the trick.

Okay, so, here's my take on it.
You can conform to society subconsciously and still be completely happy. You kind of have to be raised that way, to want to fit in and to have the ability.
Others such as ourselves, not so much. We're happier being our own entity, completely separate from society, doing our own thing because we want to, because that's what makes us happy.
I, personally, would prefer to be happy and suffer from society than to attempt to fit into society and be miserable. Because when I'm 80 and on my deathbed I want to be proud of my life, and look back and say, yes, it was hard, but I was happy.
And I finally got my milkshake. : )
