Society has ALOT of standards. We all know that. And MANY are HARD 2 live up 2! We're expected 2 have a certain amount of money, LOOK a certain way, and ACT a certain way. We're supposed 2 value "higher" education, and be college graduates. And, the MORE degrees, the "better"! By a certain age, we're "supposed" 2 be married with children, own a home, have a well established career, and probably a good retirement plan! There are probably MANY things that could be named here! These are just a few, off the top of my head. So, how do u run YOUR life? Do u feel the pressure of society's standards of BEING, and SUCCUMB 2 those? Are u a REBEL, and u "shun" any and ALL things "conventional" and "traditonal"? Do u subscribe 2 conventional standards, 2 a POINT, yet still have a little rebellious "streak" in u? And, if u DO "succumb" 2 the pressure, do u AGREE with these standards, in YOUR "heart of hearts", or do u do it JUST 2 "fit in" and be ACCEPTED? If u DON'T "succumb", is it because u really ARE a "different drummer" type, OR is it because u just don't feel CAPABLE of "measuring up", so u "rebel", just because (in YOUR mind), NO ONE is gonna tell u how 2 live? And finally, which 1 do u think is the "better" approach 2 life, and WHY? This should be interesting!
