SOCIETY

I never consider myself a social being. Working of the society has failed to penetrate my head. I despise they way how an individual looses his authentic identity in the hands of the labyrinthine passage that ends at the doorstep of vague social goal. Who is a 'Social Being' in a concrete sense? Going through the same age old procedures by taking one delicate step at a time, where your mistakes will cost you your self-esteem and will make you question your self-worth. If your steps are perfectly balanced and measured then bingo! you are successful and you'll soon be garlanded with the tags that are of a good husband/father/employee/son and what not. Is this the goal a man should strive for? Is becoming successful all life is about? 

My fellow human beings listen; 

birds will sing, sun will rise, 

dogs will bark, crows will caw,

flowers will bloom, rivers will flow

and ocean will not loose its depth,

whether you are successful or not. World will be the same anyways; you just need a change in your perspective. Philosophers have defined us as 'Social Being' but deep down our demands are Individualistic, sometimes we know it and other times our actions and words insinuate the same thing. Some of us prefer self imposed isolation but then society is quick to reproach if you fail to live your life up to its generalized standards. It's the high time that society should learn to let the star of 'Individualism' shine on our chest. Why put us under restrains to seek answers to the same age old questions? Why push us to cover the same age old track and live for the same hegemonic defination of success.  It's imperative that society stop belittling people and stop judging a human's worth by measuring his success. Every human has a universe inside them, they are in pain, agony eats them, they are sensible, just respect that. Its imperative that we stop finding answers and start asking better questions.
