Life’s like a game. Society has rules that reward certain activities and penalize others. Whether I like it or not, my decisions are influenced by these rules. So how do I know whether what I want is really what I want, not what the society imposes on me? I guess there is no way to distinguish them since I’m in the system. I don’t hate the rules, at least not all of them. Many of them probably exist to serve certain purposes, and perhaps these rules/conventions/social pressure/laws are what make civilization possible.
I can’t change the game nor the effects society has on me, but I can choose how I want to play it and to what extent it can influence me. Everyone else is in this game and follows the same system, so the way I choose to play this game will make my life different from others’. It is hard to say to what extent I’m consciously living the way I want, but I’ll strive to be conscious of how I play this game and decide for myself the way I want to play it in order to live a life that I think suit me best.

Hey dude, Is life that tough? you keep writing those meaningful blog. Relax dude, life gets tough sometimes but dont take it too seriously. Thinking of how to be successful in life is sure important, but dont over think about it, it will do no good. What will be yours will be yours, no matter what you do, but you need to strive for it though. Thats what i always say, i believe in destiny. I dont want to see you end up in mental hospital. hahahaa…
