Society Benchmarks

Is it just me or do we all fear society? Who among us can claim to not have been terrorized by society? It is something that takes away what we desire to achieve, what we dream to be or crave to get. I am a individual, a bead of a society and I am not afraid but people try their best to make me fear it. Have you ever considered yourself as a hypocrite? We all are such hypocrites; on one end we claim that society talks, it doesn't let us breathe freely, it doesn't let us decide and make plans or let us take steps without thinking about it or without negotiating but on the other end we become typical society and talk about other people's decisions, choices, plans and dreams. We get so busy criticizing society that we under look the fact that we are society. Surprised much? Don't be because yes, we are society. We are society for others whom we talk about and criticize and others are society for us because the do the same to us. Then what are we really afraid of? Society or our own beastly personalities? We have become critics while we don't appreciate being criticized. Yes, we are society and we manipulate people yet hate bring manipulated. In short, We are liars and two faced. It's not just you or me; it's everybody. We don't need to fear society but our self and for that we need to understand and let that sink in that we ARE society.
There are times when we plan certain things but we can't reach out towards them because our own family would taunt about "what would the society say?" or "what would people think?". This thing irks us, pisses us and sometimes demoralize us but under such circumstances have you ever pondered maybe we deserve it because back in the day maybe we have done the same thing to someone else and their dreams? Trust me, karma knows it's way back.
We all are in the same boat. We all wish to get rid of this so called "society benchmarks", we all fear the society but in order to get rid of it and attain real freedom, we need to bring the change with in ourselves. The day we succeed in bringing this change with in is the day when we can ask of other whether they changed or not or blame them for anything or else we don't stand a chance to blame any one or accuse anybody of anything because we, ourselves, may be not worth it.
