The rat race of society

What is life? A question we often ask with my best friend. When something magnificent happens to us or when we are having an existencial crisis in the middle of a night. When we can't describe the feeling of happiness and when we feel like our lives are pink candy cotton. When we miss the ocean and the feel of pure freedom so much, that the yearning becomes physical pain.

There are no right or wrong answers to the question because there are no questions nor answers. There are just words and feelings. Time is just concept created by sovereigns. Money is just piece of paper created by greedy slaughterers. Trying to control us. Making us mores and rules to live by. Telling us how society and individuals should behave and what to obey.

When we are born we are told not to hurt others. It makes sense, no one wants to be hurt neither. As we grow older there comes more and more rules, some of them written in law, some are unspoken. Many of them makes sense like don't kill and steal, but still you find people who won't follow them. People are killed and being robbed daily. And this unfortunately never ends.

The other rules make no sense at all - to pay for the water or to pay for the food you eat. In all history of planet Earth, humans might be the first ones to ever pay for resources the Mother Nature gives us for free. Only problem here is the ingratitude we give back - tons of waste, oil spills that ruin the oceans and all their biota. Causing global warming. We don't appreciate anything.

Rules of society are similar. They don't make any sense at all. Big corporations are pushing people to the wanted direction. To the direction they want. Making us believe what they want. Did you ever think if someone controls us or do we have a free will? Do they give us the freedom of choice or just options to choose? What really is the impact of one individual in this immense net of surrealism?

Society tells you to be yourself, but not excessively. You're considered divergent if you stick out too much. So your life is expected to go the same rat race everyone else is running too. Your life goes from high school to a university, into finding an other half-so you won't be a loner, to buy a dog and a house. To take more loan on top of the student loan. To get married. To have kids.

All this has to happen as quick as possible, so you won't disappoint anyone. So you won't get ''behind''. Your life is filled with empty achieves after achieves, trying to impress people who don't even care about you. To have a perfect life with faultless exterior even when behind the curtains everything is falling apart. And you can not ask for help, because it would show weakness, making you imperfect.

You can run as long the rat race as you want, but one day, one knob will liftoff and the wheel - also known as your entire life - will come apart. You will wake up and come aware that you haven't lived your life in the ways you could've. So you divorce, divide all the substance and the days with the kids. You pack your bag and start wander. You start doing what makes you feel good.

Rat race life might be the life some want, and it is okay. There are so many ways to live and dream your life as there are humans in this planet. I am here to give you one sight, and the next person will tell you his sight, diverse from mine, and you will have your own sight. It is the beauty of life, to choose the way you think and act. As long as you don't just exist. 

Breathe deep and let your lungs be filled with life. Ask yourself what makes you feel free and happy. Turn those thoughts into a reality. Don't listen what others have to say. Listen to your inner voice, it knows what's right for you. Change your life if you're not satisfied with it now. It might take time and lot of effort but you'll find the way. And you shall know your life.
