Confusion
We maintain our sense of orientation based on our personal make-up, physical and psychological traits, spiritual traits even, if you will. Yet we also live in a society that does very much to encourage us not to examine our reference points, even going so far as to call them delusional, all in your head or imaginary. We have been forced to subscribe to a supposedly objective view of what advancement would be, and this model of advancement is supposedly one size fits all. What’s good for the many is good for the individual. A nice thought perhaps, but it’s also a lie.
Achievements are the first mirror, and people do like looking at themselves in the mirror. Status symbols are the second mirror. Is there any more substance to life as we are forced to live it than this?
