I don't really like most people. I'm pretty antisocial and even though I'm good at socializing (and honestly took time to practice being good at it over the years), I usually feel fake talking to most people and almost always have no interest in what people are talking about.
Even though I believe the USA is one of the greatest countries in the world and probably the best place to live when it comes to personal freedoms, I really don't feel any allegiance to the United States. I don't feel like an American I just feel like me. I certainly don't feel any allegiance to my state, city or neighborhood. This is more than likely directly related to how antisocial I am.
I don't really understand the concept of legal marriage. Like I get the whole concept of the ceremony and wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone, and I understand how romantic that can be, especially for women. And I would love to make a woman feel that special and loved some day.. but the concept of signing a legal document binding you financially, or otherwise, to another person seems so bizarre to me.
To be honest, I don't really feel any conflict with my ideas and societal norms in the sense that I don't feel like any of my ideas should be more accepted and I don't necessarily feel like any other individuals ideas should be more scorned. I understand that I'm an outsider and society shouldn't have to change just because I believe in or don't believe in certain things.
I suppose there are certain aspects of society that I find unfortunate. American consumerism is completely out of control. American propaganda completely flies over most folks heads. Most people don't take time to examine themselves or the way they think. But these things just are what they are.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
