The Stress of success, the overwhelming fear of success and acceptance, acceptance into this society, a real “travesty” of a society!
What type of society is this, if death isn’t the primary fear of the average person anymore? Like Jerry Seinfeld once said, “ If people go to a funeral, they would prefer to be in the casket instead of giving the eulogy.” It is a good thing that we are not as afraid if death anymore, but it is a terrible thing that we are more afraid, more worries about getting accepted in this society, and for what reason?? Money? What good is money if you die? or if there is a huge stock market crash? You will be left with less than someone who started off with nothing. We strive for success, success that will only bring pain and sadness.
Our society is based on money and time. Nothing from nature, all man made. Nature is our home. Nature is our mother. We must not push away our instincts, but embrace them without fear of getting judged by people. Why are we so afraid of getting judged yet so quick in judging? Is it that we are more afraid of finding out who we are? Once things really start to go wrong, it is better to just let everything hit rock bottom, taking a little break to gather your senses, and then go exploring to find out whom you really are.
Society is an unhealthy regime, especially with the fear of success, all the anxiety thrust upon you that you cannot breathe. The unnecessary pressures of life choking all the air out of you, chocking all substance, all reason for living out of you.
