Society is a lie

Society is just a world of expectations and when you don't fulfill every single one you get burned. There is no loyalty, there is simple reputation. Its never really you, its just a mask. If you stack the deck you can own the world but you will lose your grip at some point won't you. All the masks are enough to charm but it can never keep them. Since in reality you are not really as charming as you appear. Its just a bunch of cold calculations. When deep down you just a poor little kid who never learned real social skills just how to lie very very well. Your not sure to act but you sure know how to act and play the perfect prince dont you? But what is society but a series of lies?

Yes, this is mostly truth. But, try thinking of society not as an other. Think of society as US.
We are all at fault for the way things are. The more we lie, the more the world becomes a lie.
The more negative thoughts, the more negative people. It is our job to be the truth. Starting at home. Society is individual people co existing. If it sucks as a whole. That is saying each of us is failing at our job to change this lie. The only way to change this lie. Is to be the Truth. Be the good energy on a road full of negativity. Think of yourself as a member of a functioning body. Every part needs to work together to survive. Yes, as a body today we die. That is where the hope lays. In the gift of tomorrow. nurture the good in life and it will start to change around you. :) society is US!

I couldn't agree more... Emotions plague our society and if we are always focusing on its faults, those faults will be the only thing that's seen. We have to stay strong in order to make our environment right, even if the world doesn't agree.

Living in society requires you deal with other people. If being yourself cuases punishment you can only give a perception which is more acceptable in order to avoid punishment. So there is no such thing as honesty. There is the rules of society which you must live by, or appear to live by and that is all there is. Its called self preservation and doing anything else is just stupidity.

why not chose to be yourself, but yourself in a kind, gracious, more loving way? We have a way of lying to ourselves saying we are ok and just perfect the way we are. this I refuse to believe this. there is always some ignorance which needs to be reevaluated for the greater good of our social system. people are quick to judge and if that is a trait any one person has i truly believe the change starts with them. No one wants to be something they are not to an extent, yet we all try to fit into society. which is, more than not, a failing system full of bitter people. a little goodness goes a long way. I've found kindness, honesty, bitterness and lies travel among us like little-unseen plages. We must change for the better. that does not mean changing your inherent personality traits,talents, wants, and or dreams. It simply means being better, kinder and more honest than the person you were yesterday. Life is about growing. why give a perception if it is harming to your fellow man? judgment, where there is no authority, only serves to harm, in the form of vanity and or faults being nurtured.

Since society simply does not work that way. You follow the system or you suffer. That is all there is to it. If you like the rules or not they will always dictate what we do.
