People exclaim that a person is courageous if and when they stand up to the status quo. As a society, debate and differences of options are things we read about in history books. Raw, real, honest, direct...these terms are used to define tyrants now. Not to be herald as badges of honor. Everyone wants to be liked by the global IN CROWD. It's high school on a galactic scale.
DILLIGAF!?! People are afraid of not being liked and fitting in. Again, DILLIGAF!?! Not everyone is going to love you. Not everyone is going to want to get your autograph. Not everyone is going to want to be your BFF. Not everyone is going to want to spend time with you. Ok...and? Don't apologize for being the best person that you are working on being. It's ok to not fit in.
