I hate society; I don't want to live in it anymore - what are my options?
I hate society... I hate how we, useless humans, follow everyone else and do exactly like society tells us to do? We spend the only thing we have (our existence) by following other people's rules and paths. It makes me sick. I feel so weak, small, governed and jailed. I am 20 YOA, a full time degree student, a part-time model and a semi-professional football player and have a beautiful girlfriend. I have everything that others would kill for.... yet when I look at the bigger picture, my life is completely useless. I am just like every other human on earth; a follower of society, rules and laws. David Icke once said (something like) 'We, humans, laugh at other sheep because they are so stupid that they just follow one-another in a herd. Yet at least the sheep have a sheep keeper to follow. Us humans just follow each other and are the the worst for following the person in-front' I have recently watched 'Into the Wild' (reccommend watching it). The man gives the fingers to society and really lives life - but dies a couple years later eathing a dealy berry in the wilderness. It's a true story for people who don't know. People will watch the movie and think the guy is a total idiot, but that guy has lived and seen more than anyone watching it will ever see. So, i'm not saying I want to quit everything and live in the wilderness and die of deadly berries... but I genuinely think i'll kill myself within a few years if nothing changes.... What can I do to be set FREE?
How can we make the Indian society a better society?
By eliminating these :-Stop hating and judging everyone. You don't know what others are going through. We should love and support each other. We lose our cool very soon, we should do something about it!Stop blaming government and society for every thing! Be the change that you wish to see. As cliche as it may sound, but India can change only when all of us change as individuals.Stop watching stupid Indian serials! They alter minds in ways you can't even imagine. (Not all of them are stupid)Indian parents should support if their kids want to go for offbeat career option. I know they want us to be secure, but let us explore, dream, discover and learn from our own mistakes. Stop taking decisions on our behalf.We should all stop ill talking about our country. No matter what is happening, it's our land which deserves respect and love from our side. Start appreciating it's people and culture. How can you expect India to flourish when it's own people are ashamed of being INDIANS. JAI HIND.
Suicide only option left?
I'm a 17 year old male. Not a goth/emo kid. I am just a kid who doesn't know what to do. I'm not sure what to do with my life anymore and I feel like I'm a waste to society. My dream ever since I was a child was to serve my country(military). I can't enlist due to medical reasons. Unfortunately, that's only one of my many reasons for considering this option. I am a senior in high school, four months away from graduating. I have been to three different schools in the last four years. I'm very depressed and am having trouble doing the smallest of chores. I have three older sisters who I'm always hearing my sisters talk about their childhood and how awesome it was. The biggest difference between my sisters and I, is that they had several friends whom they still are friends with today. I haven't had a friend since I was in 8th grade and I don't know why . I've never had a girlfriend. Not a day goes by without me getting bullied or being called names. I feel useless. I understand that of all places to share this emotional BS, the internet is by far the worst. but as you can probably tell, I have no where else to turn. I'm not seeking piety, or attention. I'm looking for insight on what I should do. Therapy is out of the question due to my family's financial situation, I have no one to talk to. I feel as if suicide is my final salvation.. Thanks in advance. I will choose a best answer.
How can I contribute towards society?
There are many ways through which you can contribute to society and its development. 1) Performing your duties honestly is the simplest and best way through which everybody can contribute. Duties would encircle all types of duties- official, moral, political etc. A beautiful short film by Allu Arjun says it all-2) Donate.My family has this little ritual, on birthdays or anniversaries, we donate something. Donation is not restricted to money only. It can be your time, blood, books, food etc. 3) Try to keep your surroundings clean. Swachchha Bharat :-)4) If you have some time, go to an NGO, just talk to the people in there. I am sure you will find many new ways after hearing their stories.5) Pass on the knowledge you have. Make people aware about various things.6) Take a lead to solve a problem. Take initiative to change what you feel is wrong in society. For an example, if you think, women are not respected in India, YOU be the one who respects them. Charity and CHANGE both begin at home. :-)Thank You Ashish Johri for A2A.
Why is society so crazy, violent, and insane nowadays?
Is it like that everywhere in the US, all around the world too? Or, are there classier, more civilized, more "normal" , places where life actually seems "humane?" I'm asking because I'm from the new jersey/ new york area, and here everyday without fail you get road rage galore, ALL hours of the day, hate, people with their faces all contorted with anger, chips on their shoulders,..people who are even dangerous...troubled, angry, hostile.... SO widespread. Non stop,,every day every year...its everywhere. Is this just how the world is nowadays, is this how it has always been!??! Am i hallucinating? Can someone explain to me WHY it is like that, and if there is any place sane left to go? I'm just sick of it....literally, it's not right, nor is it healthy....people are sick.
