The chairman of the biggest company of the world, the president of the wealthiest country in the world, an old man begging on the streets, the bees flying over stale food, each one has the same destiny, death.
When each one of us are destined to achieve the same fate, then how is this world competitive?
The answer to this question is that: ‘We don't live in a competitive world; we participate in a meaningless competition with every other person in the world.’
Why does your neighbour's, friend's, cousin’s, colleague’s success bother you so much?
Why do you feel happy listening about other people’s miseries?
Why do you keep role models?
Why is your career decided by what’s trending?
Why do you worship celebrities or rich people or genius students?
Because it's the way we are taught to live.
In a class full of fifty innocent students, a teacher makes the topper stand, and says it everyone, ‘be like him.’ She won't work on weak students, won't accept that not everybody’s mind is the same; however, compel them to be like the topper.
Your parents, before looking at your report card, will be interested in knowing about the average score, topper’s results, neighbour's results, and instead of congratulating you even if you did hard work, they will question you for your flaws.
Everybody judges you for not being perfect, without understanding that perfection is a myth.
However, we need to unlearn this faulty technique of life and learn how to focus on our life.
Live your life not like a slave of society but like a king of your life. Understand your needs, desires, and work for them, focus on your wellbeing, and your family's happiness.
Good, bad or great, whatever others are, leave them on your fate and value yourself.
