Random Life Musings...
Should we really be driven by society's expectations of us? In this modern age, does the old adage of study hard, get a good job and raise a family to ensure a good life still apply?
What if its not society but its expectations from friends and family? Would it be any different then? Is it indeed caused by influence during our own childhood?
How would I feel if my expectations on myself and others are not met? Should I then feel disappointed? Or should I instead begin to revise my expectations downwards?
Does that mean I'm lowering my standards? Would that ultimately make me a happier person? What is the yardstick that measures those standards anyway?
If I'm happy, does everything else not matter? Can I really live my life that way? Am I capable of living such a carefree life?
What exactly do I want out of life?
