Walls of Society

Oppressive walls of society, makes me laugh. Are the walls they have built shields or are they forts from where the attacks are launched? Living on the margins of society, reminds me of the three witches in Macbeth, ostracized and living in a world, they were not accepted in.

Is madness a reason, being rebellious and eccentric another? To not conform to the ideals of discipline laid out and to be a free spirit living on terms and rules created by the self an aberration that levies a heavy price. Of not being accepted and having to be stereotyped and pushed away into the margins of society and social living.

Everyone has idiosyncrasies and traits of eccentric behavior and the imbalance results when the extremes are tackled and boundaries are pushed. Is it right to cast away the vagabond explorers of the mind and soul as people improper and not in keeping with a society created in a framework set by another person. Everything is manmade, even religion and governments, how does society become an exception?
