Touched … by society?

I sometimes wonder, am I the only one experiencing this? The truth is I’m not, but it feels like it. I love this world because of its nature, and the ancient history of our ancestors; however, I dislike the bandwagon.

When you’re a child, you’re ignorant of the future societal forces you will experience. How these powerful energies will try to push you as hard as they can to make you another … normal person.

Thorough days of glancing at the shining and vivid green golf in front of my window, and witnessing the cars at an unhurried velocity, I wonder, how they could create these abnormal forces and try to persuade me. The smallish vehicles look naive and innocent, but maybe the thick steel covers the dense hypocrisy of the driver.

If you’re a friend, a sister, a brother, a parent, etc., why are you still striving for your loved ones to fit in a society of pretending? Such as why teach them the TikTok trends? Just to not be perceived as out of this era by others?

It’s incredibly odd how we let strangers, or known individuals’ comments have substantial power in our minds. Who permitted them to be in every thought of ours? Do we … truly want to consume all of our energy into what others might think?

When we once realize what’s our purpose in life, we will use all of our nerves to accomplish it, consequently, when another person tries to influence us, they will not be capable of achieving it because we now have a stronger weapon to combat: the power of deciding who has control in our lives.

When will we get out of this labyrinth?

Your heart was once touched by others. But now, it’s time for your hands to finally touch you.
