Too much strong feeling there, seems to me.
The thoughts are okay, make sense, but they carry too much emotional baggage, bitterness, anger, resentment.
Might be worthwhile to keep the thoughts and toss the baggage.

I think as a quote it has some interesting parts, but it also seems to contradict itself. For example, think of these lines:
"i rather be different and nobody then be a brainless sheep"
"another slave to society"
"being like everyone else, depending on someone opinion"
"I fear people more then anything"
Doesn't posting a question on Yahoo Answers seem to undermine these. Especially, it seems to call into question that you "fear people" most. You are asking people to participate with you. Or even, "depending on someone opinion" seems to be what seeking an answer to "what do you think?" is. In essence, your actions and your words do not match precisely.

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. ~ i forget! If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain The wastebasket is a writer's best friend. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~Anton Chekhov Ink and paper are sometimes passionate lovers, oftentimes brother and sister, and occasionally mortal enemies. ~Terri Guillemets A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer. ~Karl Kraus

don't really agree with you when you say "religion is nothing more then mind control, used to oppress people, if we were only to rid of religion itself, and keep the golden rule." but i totally agree you when you said, "Be kind, caring and respect to everyone, society would be better."
good job, you need not to depend on someone's opinion, you got your own. :D

the only thing to fear, is fear itself. for fear inhibits, fear controls, fear presides. it is without fear that a person can live fully in control and thus fully create thier spiritual life.

You are still a sheep if you 'follow' any belief in anything including your vision of 'God' and your fear of people.
