When I grow up, my life will be different from everyone else’s. I will be this. I will live like this. I will earn this much. Each one of us thinks this.
As we grow up, we lose it somewhere. Entrance exams, colleges, jobs, relationships, society suck it out of you. You no longer think that way. Are you accepting defeat? Or do these things only happen in movies, not in real life? Is it really hard to go for that vision? Society is bullshit. It entangles you through its different institutions – responsibilities, marriage, etc. I am not saying to avoid responsibilities. I am saying to take bigger responsibilities. Why be good just for your family when you can be good for the bigger family, i.e., the world
Why are we so afraid to be a loser? What if we don’t follow the norms? What is the worst thing that can happen? We can do our child version of struggle. We can wash plates in a restaurant and survive. But the vision that is our own truth needs to be fulfilled
