Society unfortunately places grueling demands on its people A constant pressure to climb a social hierarchy wealth and materialistic pursuits are more prevalent than ever! I've made it a rule to center my life around principles and character and not worldly possessions I think about it in the way that if wealth defines the essence of a person then what becomes of this person if wealth gets taken away from them? Principles and character on the other hand engrave in the soul permanent and everlasting no matter what circumstances manifest I don't understand life not exaggerating It's hackneyed but very true Simply put to the best of my ability to convey something ineffable I'm questioning my existence myrole my interests and our society And I reached a dead end Cor at least that's how Ifeel sometimes If you ask me about my aspirations or dreams you would more than likelyreceive an indefinite answer Despite my ongoing perplexity I'm taking life step-by-step In this process maintaining happiness and finding tranquil among self are part of routine I've begun the practice of meditation and gratitude in view of making this journey of self-realization all the more merrier I realize that so far my answer has been about me but I understand the value of YOU of friends and family and of relationships Just ask Carl Jung about his theory on the collective unconscious Relationships and love and belonging are inherent among humans and are essential to wellbeing Or ask Maslow about his hierarchy of needs self- actualization cannot be attained unless previous needs of which love and belonging are are fulfilled Also I just finished reading Herman Hesse' Siddhartha definetely renewed my comprehension of relationships With that said please don't hesitate in personal messaging me I would love to learn about you and your journey Hopefully our lives will be more enriched and feel more full with these experiences Upvote 12 Downvote Comment 1 TeenagersOfQuorajpg Mememore...
