The Scenius Project #02: Altered Behavior

 

Camouflaging is an act of securing one's self, an act of safety. If you are a prey, it becomes a life savior, where the predator will not recoginze your existence. That's how it rolls in the animal kingdom.

But here in the world of human beings, what happens if your "existence" becomes unrecognizable to others? Acting safe will keep you alive, but it won't let you grow. An act of camouflage, yet becomes an act of self destruction. It is just another way around.

"'Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it, that's the point.'"

- Divergent, Four - Chapter 18, page 239

The world is somehow created under a universal agreement, that leads people to live in a status-quo. But do ones recognize that it slowly destructs ones identity? Every being is believed to be born with its specialties that differs itself with others. Why not give it a try and break yourself from the shell? If the world demands a red, give it a white. If the world offers a demands, give it a black. If the world demands a status-quo, give it your identity.

“But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

It is always possible, to purify one's elf in the middle of the world's madness. If the world gets mad, that doesn't mean others should. Let the world do its own business, while you do yours. You don't need to accept everything that the world offers. 

Every action, is contagious. Either ones should refuse it, or get involved it it, it depends. If purifying one's self is an act of positivity, then it should be widely spread, contaminating every being with it. 

“Intentions are the only thing they care about. They try to make you think they care about what you do, but they don't. They don't want you to act a certain way, they want you to think a certain way. So you're easy to understand. So you wont pose a threat to them.”
― Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Story Collection 

Stay genuine, stay exquisite, in a classic way, in ones very own ways.

 The society trend has always been a trigger, for ones to "loose" itself. The feeling of doubt in the self, is also a bridge of loosing one's self even more. Just believe, that you are a winning champion, just by being genuine. If others could not see through that, means that those are ones who does not deserve to see your splendour.

“Here, I've learned to defend myself,
I've learned to be stronger,
but one thing I haven't learned, won't let myself learn, is how to enjoy causing someone else pain. If I'm going to become Dauntless, I'm going to do it on my terms, even if that means that a part of me will always be a Stiff.”
― Veronica Roth, Four: A Divergent Story Collection

Hesitation has always been common. But that's just it, it's common. Think beyond the common, act beyond the common.

"Eric called Al’s suicide brave, and he was wrong. My mother’s death was brave. I remember how calm she was, how determined. It isn’t just that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option."

-Divergent, Tris - Chapter 36, page 451

“Don't hide yourself. Stand up, keep your head high and show them what you got!”
― Joe Mari Fadrigalan, Divergent
