Of course it is. That's what people do. The fact that the average person's actions make you want to put a gun in your mouth should not be news to anyone.

You've laid it out quite elegantly...but despite how harmless it sounds, some of us just aren't capable of doing that. Maybe we're stubborn and misguided, maybe we're idealistic visionaries. Who knows what the "right way" to live is. Some people can stomach "fitting in" and some can't.
