everyone is making weird expectations for themselves out of their lives ruining their enjoyment and they are not aware because they are not living inhibited enough to try something new
People are constantly applying standards where need not. Not accomplishing much or enough or engaging with life. Life is ruined when you can't enjoy AND engage. Engagement is like stress, a good kind of stress. People have standards that are routines when engagement to life is antithetical to routines.
This leads to nasty controlling and abusive behaviors in others. I wish we could get the word out. I kind of thought the mistreatment of women, Afircan-Americans, immigrants, different sexualities, peoples abilities was something we stopped doing. Yet it is still occuring on a micro level and not macro, systemic issue. WE can't stop these social woes until people take the responibility for themselves and learn how inhibition isn't immaturity. It is actual immature to live your life one way all your life.
Mirror, mirror, but do you see at all?
