I see conformity as kind of voluntary servitude and self-denial, that generate neurosis by the incapability to tolerate the ambiguity of your conscious choices and the behavior you accept by fear of Authority or retaliation.
The errors of choice in the past only make sense when the future unveil them.
Errors must be used as organized feedback like a self-regulating mechanism of our actions.
I'm going to transform a quote of my post today to explain this situation:
"The construction of ourselves is just a "sh't" pile of errors, that we had to recognize in every failed option we made in life."
Error open new options to make a better life and improve self-­sovereignty. :)
