Societal Expectations

Posted on by Enlightener

These two words combined have caused and can still cause both destruction and motivation depending on your mindset.The society forms an integral part of everyone’s life.There is a lot of interdependence between us and the society.Generally,we all know that we form the society but we forget that the society forms us too.A great deal of our manners and core values are regulated by the society.

Society is the breeding ground and foundational layer for all kinds of individuals.A society that encourages each other and works together has different impacts on individuals compared to a society where every individual has only self interests.The former will build each other, work towards a common goal and everyone grows together.The latter creates a society without unity and interdependence.This type of society breeds criminals and thieves as the blessed ones do not care about the rest.

The society expects a lot from every individual.However, nowadays the society has become a bully.Make a simple mistake and you become a laughing stock.Life nowadays requires people who are emotionless where only the strongest survive.One common thing in any society is that people will always talk about you,whether you are doing good or bad.So,if you rely on people’s approval then you are in a hell of a lot of trouble.People have been forced to call themselves introverts because they simply cannot find a way to co-exist with these kind of people.

People have become judges of other people’s lives.A girl not yet married when 26 years must have a problem,they say.A man 40 years not yet married must have kids out of wedlock,so they say.He does not seek other people’s approval,he is arrogant,so they say.He has been going to the office for ten years but he still doesn’t have a car,so they say.People will always find something to say but you choose what to digest and what to excrete.The earlier you decide to seek your own approval,the better.Self confidence is always the key.

Live your life and do not try to please everyone because that is unachievable.In life you should always be competing with yourself and not with others.

If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask… with nothing beneath it?

  1. Truly enlightening.. The opinion of people shouldn’t matter in your decision making. But the support matters, do whatever you can whenever you can. Remember hardwork is the key.
