WHAT IS THE POINT?
Really, what is it? What is the point of going to school? To learn new things? To get a job? To feel among? To get a degree? What of ceremonies? You know what I'm talking about? Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays? To feed a bunch of people who won't remember to call you after? To entertain a bunch of people who would complain of everything till they leave? To show off your beautiful decorations? To felicitate with loved ones? Why get spiritual? Why focus on bettering yourself? We do a lot of things without knowing their purpose or if they have one. But what is your reason behind doing it? Are you having a large wedding because Stacy and Georgina had theirs in the Bahamas and Dubai? Are you getting a masters because your friends are getting one or your parents said you should get one or it just "seems like the right thing to do"? Are you getting married at 21 because you just must meet your target of not marrying after 30 and all your friends are married at that age? We do these things and wonder why people are always on the verge of mental breakdown, young people falling and dying at workplaces, people committing suicide because they just cannot compare to their peers, young women racking up sugar daddies because they must have the latest gadgets and young guys doing cybercrime because they must make it by 20(benefit boys shade) I think we should all take a breather and reflect on what we really want in our lives, not what the world thinks we should have. Maybe, just maybe, things would work out differently But then again, I may be wrong Think of most of the actions you have taken of recent and tell me whether you would have taken them if there was no pressure or deadline? We do these
