From childhood, we are taught to always follow the rules. The rules our parents and elders set for us, the rules of the house, the rules of the educational system, the rules of conduct, etc. So when we reach adulthood, not only do we choose to stick by the rules we are familiar with but also accept that rules go beyond our personal environments to the society at whole, which forms and shapes all of our decisions and choices. It makes us feel right, good, disciplined, and part of a community that follows the same beliefs and practices. We do the things that we do because that's what's expected of us and accepted. We get lost living a life that is shaped and created by the society. So what about us as individuals? What about creating our own lives as we have imagined to be? Yes, that is a risky thought. To think for ourselves without letting the norms of the society hold us back. If we go against something, we are singled out. We are immediately judged. We are incorrect. We are labeled. We become an outcast. Think about it though. Would you rather live a life which is formed and shaped by the rules and limitations of others or live life on your own terms which keeps you fulfilled and happy. So in order to truly live your own life, It all comes down to three things: finding the courage to seek your own purpose and truth, awakening your soul to step out of the imprisonment of the society to gain knowledge of things beyond any limitations, and achieving a state of self-fulfillment and satisfaction that each of us are entitled to. So go ahead, think about it. Break a rule or two which keeps you from being a better, fulfilled, and happy you. See how you feel and do it again. LIVE, for life is too short to be living in imprisonment.
