What is Society ?

Cambridge dictionary defines it as

A large group of people who live together in an organised  way, making decisions about how to do things and sharing the work  that needs to be done. All the people  in a country, or in several similar countries,can be referred to as a society.

What are the constituents of present society?

I am not sure.You can help me understand better.

I am as confused as you are,

My guess is, you automatically become part of society,the day you are born. ( free membership )

Welcome to our society

Don’t we all strictly follow what society says ?

Then why you say you are not happy with the society or why society says you are not up to its set up standards ?

Where things going wrong ?

Can Society be the great manipulator?

“Society is funny. They ask you to be yourself and yet they judge you”   random

Every single person on the planet has a story.But society does not have time to listen to the story.

Society judges you based on  whether you are rich or poor,you are beautiful or ugly,how you dress,how you behave,your tastes,your likes.

Society does micro inspection of your so called imperfections, and by magnifying it, decides your worth

It is interested to know the company and the friends you have.

If you are an introvert you are made funny.If you are an extrovert,you are made to learn advantages of  of being quiet.

You can’t escape the society you created,whose presence you feel every second of your existence.

You think you are proud in naming somebody as ‘black sheep’?

But do you know what this  ‘black sheep’ is telling ? Read.

” I may be the black sheep of your society,but some of your white sheep’s aren’t as white as they appear!”     unknown.

And what about Karma’s statement ?

” Sometimes you have to suffer in life,not because you were bad but because you didn’t realize where to stop being good”.

And John Lennon’s statement….

“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”

Do you know the power of influence of the society on you ?

Some examples

• Even the prettiest girl feels ugly sometimes
• The happiest girl cries at night
• The most independent girl feels alone
• Double standards & hypocrisy at every opportunity and accepted as norms
• By introducing beauty products,cosmetic surgeries…you are made to look inferior to others
• Turning blind eye to the events,and none can complain
• Money is more important than Human values

Is perfect society possible ?

Again ,I don’t have an answer.

You can help me in guiding me what constitutes a perfect society.

How to be part of the society ?
