RE: Society Sucks...

When I saw the title of this post, I smiled.

Society is just a term, it is not the term that sucks but we humans 😅.

Each individual is entitled to think and act in ways that is best depending on the situation we find ourselves but then, we live among our fellow humans with different perspectives, each believing one way is the right way and the other is wrong.

When the majority sees a specific way of life as the right way, such perspective becomes general belief, since it is perceived by the majority. "Societal standards".

This is where the issue is, the majority would try everything to make sure everyone conforms with this perspective or cancel anyone that refuses. Since it is a force made up by the majority it becomes formidable and capable of forcing these standards on anyone. Tyranny of the majority.

Here is where it gets tricky, if somehow the standards set by the minority somehow finds a way to overpower the force of the majority, then the minority opinion will also become the opinion of the majority and start pressuring any minority opinion. An endless circle.

We humans fail to understand that life doesn't have one pattern, which means the manner of doing things can never be singular. Since everyone is entitled to have a perspective, everyone is also allowed to navigate their lives the way they see fit without judgement because at the end of the day, we are all left to bare the consequences of our mistakes.
