Thank you for your comment Dear Lioness…
The last 22 years of my life I’ve maintained a journal on my own behavior in numerous different situations and life settings.
What I realized is that we ALL deal with the same exact issues..but just on different levels and intensities, depending on our state of mind …or rather : The state of mind we ended up with, after years of being alive..in our current society as we know it..
I realized that the ONLY reason why we play these different roles is because we want those who surround us, to perceive us the way WE want to be perceived…Society has SOMEHOW imposed certain roles on us …..roles we need to play ..in order to fit “it”…”It” being society.
If we play the society imposed role perfectly well, we get the FULL benefit from that relationship or setting.
Let me explain:
You’re looking for a job as a stock broker at a prominent stock broker’s firm…You adjust your resume to reflect MOSTLY if not ONLY the characteristic traits one needs, to secure a job at the firm(society induced behavior)…You get an interview and dress and speak exactly how one needs to dress and speak to secure a job at the firm(society induced behavior)…You get the job as a stock broker…but now you want to become a manger…so you do what it takes to get to that… which usually means kissing up to your superiors or excessively overworking yourself..(society induced behavior)…and so on…
The same applies, when a man is trying to get the attention from a woman…to have a relation ship with…or vice versa nowadays…
Ponder this for a minute…
The roles we play ..we play consciously….yet we we’re not aware of playing them…
And to take it even further Dear Lioness…We think that the ONLY way we’re going to become successful in life …is to play these roles to the TEE…which in turn, is supposed to result in the so called “happiness” we are all searching for…!
You say: “So what do we do in a world full of characters playing all these roles?”
That all depends on the individual...If you are happy with your life ..then you need to do nothing it all…but chances are..you’re not ….almost NO ONE is…and if they are…it’ll soon change ….Because their happiness was derived from the outside…and NOTHING in the outside world EVER remains the same...That's just the nature of our reality...
Happiness derived from SOCIETY…
There is no happiness in appeasing society!!!..we know this but still continue as if we don’t…EVERYONE feels hopeless…or is it.. HYPNOTIZED rather?
