The big thing that I can relate to 1987 with is the extinguishing of all creativity, personality, individuality or things of that kind. The stifling of ones sense of self expression is in my opinion one of the most atrocious of acts. To take a person’s thoughts from them is inhumane. The one thing that a person really owns, that is all theirs. The single possession that one has to separate themselves from the masses is their mind. To take that from me would be the end of my life as I know it. If I wasn’t me I would find no reason to continue existence. If I couldn’t be me then the point of life would be to continue life. There is no real purpose in that. In my perspective life is about finding yourself. Knowing your reason to be alive, and if you have no personality or individuality then your purpose would be the same as everyone else. You would live to stay alive. I would rather die. That’s what’s going to happen in the end to all of us so there is no reason to live unless you have a personal goal that you yourself push to achieve. In a simultaneous world I am just one drop in the ocean. But in the world as we know it now I am a drop of blood in the ocean. I stand apart from my fellow water drops yet I leave a little of me in all of them. The sharks of this world are after me and the minnows of this world avoid me. This is what sets me apart from my peers. I see only transparent photocopies one behind another in a neat stack. I am the paper that was set on the copier crooked to make a unique yet sloppily charming individual. I have been frowned upon for perusing myself which leads me to think that the world doesn’t want me to be myself. The majority of people require conformity to feel secure. I need to be the one that draws gasps from John and Jane doe because they know that they wouldn’t dare try to imitate my person.

I totally agree with your view about how the reason we live is to find and achieve our own goals. I also believe that we are here for a purpose and that purpose is different from individual to individual. The force that drives us to continue fighting to live is to finish our missions, to accomplish what we have found. I really like your comparison about yourself to a drop of blood in the ocean. It’s a very good post and I enjoyed reading it.
I agree because if you have no personality you are nothing and you are worthless. If they take away your thinking, your way of doing things and what makes you doffrent from others then you are as good as dead. I like the post, it’s very good.
I agree on the reason we live and everyone is different kind of like. If everyone thought the same and did everything the same it’ll be boring and basically dead. Good noodle. =] =] =] =] =]
