Why is important to be yourself? There are many many reasons for this. I recently saw a funny picture somewhere of a little girl in a pink tutu, rocker boots, and she was standing in a stance that radiated attitude. Next to her it said "What is more BA than being yourself?" I don't agree with the language, but I do agree with the sentiment. If no one was themselves and we all wanted to be and do the exact same thing, what fun would that be? For example, I have a friend from a different school and she struggles with maintaining her own opinion. She is one of better friends. She wants people to like her so bad that she will always, with out a doubt agree with whatever anyone else says. If even for one instance she says something that someone doesn't agree with, she will immediately change her opinion as to be just like everyone else and so everyone likes her. If everyone had the same opinions like this, what would society be? The exact same thing everyday, for eternity. That's what. This reminds me of the book 1984. In this book everyone is forced to do just as the government wants no questions asked. You must think like this, talk like this, etc. I think they even had a way of reading your mind too. Imagine if our society was like this book and no one was themselves. No one broke out of the box and tried to just be themselves...that would not be fun. It is very important to be yourself because no one is just like you. No one is an exact clone of you, so why let that go to waste? Why be like someone else when you can just be you?
