Circles of Conformity – Society Today
We all conform, each of us to an individual circle (environment) of our own contouring. The one where we decide we are safest and most secure.
And each of us has a slightly different perspective of what safe and secure means. So while we might hang with those with similar views, we still keep to our self-imposed environment. It is more comfortable that way.
Stretching this analogy a little further. if you used a protractor and created a bunch of circles that overlap (well 
you’d have a pretty design, lol) but you’d also have an idea of how individuals overlap a little bit with others who think as they do. but still staying in their comfort level.
Now if you move the pointy part (I know, but I like the way it sounds, lol) of the contractor over so that you make a circle that does not connect in anyway with the other circles you’ve created a gap between this circle and the others, no overlapping going on here.
No connections. This then is society, in many aspects, today. We are not very comfortable unless others conform in ways that are similar to our own. And we tend not to stray far from our own comfort zone.
Just imagine though, if there were a few more circles to connect all the circles from one to another. We would still be conforming only now within the contours of neverending connections, where everything and everyone is related and interactive. And what a beautiful design that would create. Now that is a thought to think upon!

Just a few of my thoughts on the subject. I hope you enjoyed, Thank you for visiting me today!

Great post Penny. Too bad we can’t all slow down enough to realize that we are connected to each other much more than we think. Imagine how the world would look if we all felt that connection more.

I appreciate your insight, Penny! I’m glad you mentioned about comforming, more people are look for conformation as they are connected or before they are connected.

Thanks Amy, sometimes I don’t know if I really get the point (ha,ha) across, but I just keep trying my friend!

Although sometimes there are no connections, it is odd how there is the tiniest of strands that does connect, and that strand can be stronger than some of the circles.
Great post Penny.

Are the little blue dudes trying to decide where to land?
And will their circle overlap with any other?
