And again, maybe I'll just turn my attention to other things now.

But I wonder, what is the reason that some people seem to feel that they really need to fit in with those who are just about as shallow and self-absorbed and materialistic as they come?

Like, it's such a big world, full of lots of kinds of people, and there's so many other kinds of people out there. Is it really so hard to imagine expecting more out of this life?

Also, what is the deal with having to go along with dishonesty just to fit in with a certain tribe.
