Obsessive Symmetries

Our strength  is many times put to the test by many of the images that our society projects on us,  never letting a space for personal interpretations or diversity, rigid social moles and  impossible to reach personal goals are the ingredients that make the soups of many TV channels.  As much as we would like to deny it, social moles were, are and will be present, they shouldn’t be regarded as evil or restrictive, they are the product of social norms which are the foundation of social balance and prosperity.

This is quite normal and reasonable, but there is more to it, the creation of overly rigid and unreachable moles had facilitated the spread of insecurities which lead to micro and macro social unbalances. The industrial consumerist society saw the advantage that this moles would have on the commercialization of different products, the main idea was that of outlining a need for a obsessive symmetry within our society, a symmetry that is characterized by the desire to look like everybody else, the desire for all to look and act as the imposed archetype .  This obsessive symmetry of looks and behaviors oppressed the idea of individuality and diversity in a democratic society that preaches such values but in the end it become the supreme master of double standards. 

As much as we want to create this symmetry, it is impossible. Regimes in the past had tried to flatten societies and to create the perfect society where everybody is equal, failing miserably in the end. Our road to the symmetrical perfection can be stopped only the acknowledgement of diversity which is the result of sociologic variables, detaching our self from the unrealistic vision of a look alike universe.
