Being Subject or Unique

This story related to this thought, of being subject to culture, and trying to avoid the cycle. The way; that this story and subject of culture relates is the dictatorship. In culture, it seems to be no excape, and many of us feel we are beyond the scale, In life it seems we try to define our purpose, based on our definition on uniqueness. One of the most frequent questions, is how do I stand out from the rest of the crowd, but the truth is even during our efforts of isolation, we still fall under a certain category. In this story, the man pleads with the gatekeeper, to allow him to enter. He tried many times, with so many different approaches, but it all boiled down to the same point, which was he had not been any different from those who attempted prior to him. In society, we have alot of different ethnicities, with alot of different cultures. Most of us define, our very existence, based upon a certain category that has been derived bfrom our culture. A result of this, are some people who want to stand out, but in the end it still places them in a certain category. The way this relates to the story is simple, one man tries to enter a gate with strategically, but doesnt get in. People in general, struggle all of their lives, just to be considered someone unique, and its usuall defined by people. In the end it doesnt really amount, to anything other than culture.
