5 stupid things that society expects from you

Everyone knows that society is ultimately our own creation, the manifestation of our collective intelligence. Therefore, society can change at any time, because it is we who decide when, why it needs to be changed. But before we can do this, we need to reset our own consciousness.

The most important step is to question our beliefs, which are often passed on to us through traditions, and start thinking about ourselves first, because only then will we be able to find out how to live further, what specifically contributes to our well-being. To help you on this journey, we would like to present here the five most stupid and harmful things that society imposes on you and expect from you, as well as the reasons why you should not believe and follow these beliefs.

You must obey the authorities

From a very early age, the society forced us not to trust ourselves, not to listen to our inner voice and not to use our critical thinking. If we tried to do the opposite, then we would be told that we will face huge problems. Therefore, instead of creating their own way of life and following it, people go along a pre-determined path that has been indicated by others, regardless of whether they like it or not.

We took it for granted and blindly believe in the rules that dictate power to us, and obey all the rules that dictate to us. Why not stop at least a minute, do not doubt these beliefs to find the truth for yourself and try to live as we want, do what we like, and not what society expects from us. It's no wonder that most people can not think on their own and do not take responsibility for their own lives, they are used to count on others, and this leads to the fact that they become victims of decisions that others take for them.

You must marry

Love is a free bird, and in most cases, for some, marriage is in some way a prison.

The society motivated us to think that only in marriage a couple can live happily and with love. However, in reality, the situation is quite different, and this is evident from the fact that about half of married couples end up getting a divorce.

Marriage is a union of two lovers who count on the fact that they will live together a long and happy life together. But how do you know how long this love will last? After all, feelings come and go, and sometimes they go away too quickly. Proceeding from this, it's just stupid and ridiculous to associate your life with someone you can not love forever.

To be successful, you must earn as much money as possible

In our debt-based economic system, we all need money to meet basic needs, and yet have the time and resources to pursue those things that give us satisfaction. However, many people make mistakes when they think that wealth will lead them to a long and happy life. They think that money is happiness.

Of course, they did not come to this conclusion themselves. When all of us were schoolchildren, most of us were convinced that money is the ultimate goal in life, that without them life is meaningless and pointless, and if we can not earn a lot of money, then we will in some ways be losers.

Therefore, all people are eager to earn more and more money. But, no matter how much money they manage to get, they still feel sad and empty, not realizing that true success is really not in material wealth, but in learning to live in harmony with oneself and appreciate what Each of us has.

The more expensive things you have, the happier you are

Many of us think this: to be happy, you need to own a lot of things, especially expensive ones.

Advertising deceives us, because they are trying to convince us that happiness can be found in material objects, and if we do not have anything like that, then we will not be able to live exactly as we want. But no matter how much expensive objects we have, we will still have the desire to get as much as possible, but everything is simple because the acquisition of material objects can not satisfy our emotional needs.

And what is needed for happiness?

What we really need to be happy is to establish close relationships with others, to pursue our passions, develop an attentive attitude and be grateful for the gifts sent to us from heaven, and no amount of money will be able to provide us with all this.

Religion

Another stupidity that society expects from you is the adoption of a religion, certain beliefs and beliefs.

Most specialized schools and churches teach people how to live correctly in our community, and force us to blindly believe in religion and unquestionably follow its dogmas.

To be a religiously inspired person is to suppress oneself. Why is that? Because to follow religious dogmas is to act in certain ways solely for the reason that an authoritative figure or book says so, and not because you really like to do it. And this has extremely negative consequences for your personal growth, for the whole world, for being as a whole.

How does religion harm society?

To begin with, you fill your psyche with hatred towards yourself, because when you feel that you are not loved by others around you, not accepted by them, that you are not perceived as a person, how can you love yourself? You can only hate yourself. And when you hate yourself, how can you love others? You can not, because the beginning of another love comes from respect and love for yourself.

In addition, when you do certain things only because your religion responds positively to it, then do harm to yourself and others, even if you have the best intentions. Not surprisingly, some of the greatest crimes in the history of mankind have occurred in the name of religion.

Finally, perhaps the most important thing is the following. When you consider that your religion is the only and true in the world, you begin to see that other religions are hostile to your beliefs, and you mistreat those who follow other norms and dogmas. Therefore, organized religion inevitably breeds hatred and conflict between people.

Most major religions in the world do give some important lessons for the knowledge of the world, so study them and find out that you can learn something useful for yourself, but be sure to discard what you think is wrong and mark what you think is useful. First of all, do not become attached to any ideology, be it religious or any other.

Conclusion

Being deeply social creatures with an indispensable need to be loved, many of us prefer to compromise and live by the principle "I live like everyone else".

To rebel against society is a difficult task, but it is absolutely necessary to bring peace, happiness and freedom into your life and help create a more beautiful world for all of humanity. Therefore, if you want to make positive personal and social changes, you need to abandon the poisonous beliefs that have been vaccinated to you since childhood. You need to try to collect all your courage in your heart to say "no", not to meet the expectations of society, no matter what obstacles you have to face during your journey.
