LABELS, STANDARDS AND EXPECTATION. WELCOME TO OUR SOCIETY.

We live in a world full of lies and broken promises.

We live to please everyone yet end up hating ourselves.

Can you even remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?

In our society of today, people are labeled whether you and your actions are good or bad; you are judged with everything you do. People are expected to meet its standards otherwise you mean nothing.

You don’t put on makeup, they call you sick and pale.

You put on makeup, they call you a clown.

You wear clothes, they call you boring.

You wear fewer clothes, they call you a slut.

You’re thick, they call you obese.

You’re thin, they call you anorexic.

You’re friendly, they call you fake.

You’re quiet, they call you rude.

You’re virgin, you’re too good.

You’re non virgin, they call you a whore.

Then people will ask why you’re sad and depressed and why you hate your life.

You then start to hate ourselves as much as we hate everyone else.

You parents will tell you you’re good enough. But you feel otherwise.

No one cares until you’re dying. No one will notice until you’re gone.

And when you’re gone, they’ll start to give you importance.

AND SO WE’LL SAY THE SOCIETY DESTROYED US.

But hey…

WE BLAME THE SOCIETY BUT WE ARE THE SOCIETY.

We’re afraid to be called slut but we put on more makeup than clothes.

We judge the young girl for having a son not knowing she was raped.

We judge the old man who have scars in his face not knowing he had an accident.

We judge the illiterates not knowing they started to work at young age.

We judge our very strict teacher not knowing she was abused by her parents.

We judge those who consume drugs not knowing how depressed, lonely and misguided they were.

We laugh at everyone’s mistake.

We don’t return someone’s wallet. We become selfish and greedy.

We don’t return favors. We don’t even say thank you.

We choose our friends over our parents. We neglect.

We become materialistic and worldly.

We become everything we said we will never be.

THE SOCIETY DESTROYED US

WE DESTROYED THE SOCIETY.

Will we ever change? Will we ever learn?

Welcome to our society. Enjoy your stay.
