Prosperity Vs Individuality

It seems like individuality revolves around prosperity now; a symbol of social status. For example, obesity, an unwanted problem in urban societies, is a sign of prosperity in some countries, having exotic pets also shows prosperity,and fashion brands too. Clothes without brands are disregarded...


A situation similar to this would be the fascinating sub-cultures in the Middle-East and North America. Women are treated like queens.A Total opposite to the urban society where everyone wants to be thin .In the fashion industry, Difference in physical appearances appreciated and treasured . So why can't we appreciate everyone for how they look like, I mean underneath we're just asking for acceptance.Whether if you have no skin pigmentation or you want to achieve a more ideal weight. Within our own society,all we want is just to conform to the social norms and be accepted. Sure, we may want to step our of our boundaries once in a while but ultimately, we want to be recognized for our choice of risk-taking whether it is fashion or open sexuality.We are not really encouraged to be different. People who live their lives in a way that defies cultural attitudes and conventions and think in a way that most people do not are seen as weird, eccentric and outcasted.
However, with people who strive to conform to the 'rules' of society, they not only lose their physical self, but also our mental self. Which ulimately leads to a decline in individuality. In the case of albino animals : Why is it animals of a specific species which come in different physicality and form are unique and exotic while humans who are physically different are weird,strange...outcasts?
So We,as humans, are able to treat  animals with care and respect while we shun our human friends? Another thing about exotic animals is that they create individuality for someone.For example, if someone were to own a snow loris, they are seen as different in a positive manner. But when someone possesses a unique feature in their appearance, take for example a crooked nose, they are already judged upon by their appearance before direct interaction. But this is the way a modern socket is built on, a mechanized system where children are where parents hope their children to become doctors or lawyers and the cycle just goes on and on.


However, I feel that acquiring true prosperity is the process of aligning your thoughts in a manner you have thought your whole life. ; Breaking free from the worries of other's opinions. Dump all the conformist thoughts that was injected into you since young and be who you really are.
