Homogenization gives you the false illusion that there's somebody else or something else that's going to look after you

“It's so easy to sink into homogenization because homogenization gives you the false illusion that there's somebody else or something else that's going to look after you, that if you wear that uniform that everybody else is wearing, that somehow, you're protected. And that uniform isn't physical, it's psychological. You walk around with a uniform, you have the same conforming concepts that are around you, and that you are not going to say something, utter something that is going to bring that confrontation into your life; you just conform.”

“The fact is that to live your difference takes great courage. And you have to be so secure in who you are. It's only then that you can survive that. It's only then that you can find your unique way, because wherever you turn in this life, there are the forces of conformity that are there, that are trying to pull you in and homogenize you into what they expect.”
