> These seem like really profound words to me. I may interpret them different than you meant them, but a lot of good poetry is like that. Conformity is a degraded level of life in which you have lost all your spiritual/psychological vitality and integrity. But standing tall with integrity and truth (about corruption, social injustice or family abuse) is such a taboo that society may kill you for talking about it. They killed Jesus.
