Nothing new and exciting can exist without some deviation from the norm. To change, one needs to innovate, and to innovate, one can't just follow the beaten path, but needs to find a deviation in the route, a turning none other has yet taken, and follow that new path to wherever it may lead.

Thus, one needs deviation to discover what is truly "out there", to find some meaning in this crude, imperfect world that still evades the reach of oh so many. Of course, not many can take the same path, follow the same trail, or it too will become too normal for anything new to be found along it.

We each need our own deviations, and it is those deviations that make us different, each an individual. Indeed, one could say that that is the very definition of what it is to be human.
