RE: Are You Living for Yourself or for Society?

I think society is never really there for you. Imagine you don't have food to eat or electricity at home. Will society come forward to help you? no. Just look at the people begging on the roadsides they are exposed to the cold and rain. They are often treated as if they don't even deserve basic human dignity by the very society that talks so much about customs and values. I think you should live your life the way you want to otherwise you will never truly get the chance to express yourself. You can spend your whole life trying to make others happy or proud of you but that doesn't mean you will be happy yourself. Making someone else proud won't give you the satisfaction that comes from doing something you wanted to do. People will always have something to say but they won't be the ones living your life or dealing with the consequences of your decisions. So their opinions should not matter more than your own happiness.
