A society is an interdependent community. These interdependencies give rise to relationships that often grow so complicated that the basic building blocks of societies, we the humans, suffer. It’s like a tyrant having norms, regulations and an expectation from all its members to oblige. Thus like every such genus, it also looses control over its people and rebels are born. Out of a whole crop of rebels, some successful ones emerge as leaders for the future societies, the rules are set again and Le jeu recommence (The game starts again).
While each person who challenges the status quo is a rebel, not everyone is able to bring about a change. Most of them fade away into oblivion and even those who bother to remember them, reckon them as failures for e.g. Guy Fawkes. These are the people who wasted their lives and weren’t able to make it big. But deep inside that failure, behind the shadows of oblivion live those rebels, a satisfied and happy life. Their efforts to change the society were futile but in the process they changed themselves and created a world inside them which pleases them. These people are qualified happy souls, the ones who are destined to be happy.
But most of us are driven by the social norms and values. With each and every minute of our life we mould our original selves into someone who is more acceptable for the society putting aside the originality in us. When God has created each one of us differently, why are we so apt to produce a line of mediocre humans? The answer is straightforward, change induces fear, fear to fail, fear to be left behind and fear to be deprived of a relaxed life. These fears alone are enough to make us a loser and thus live an unhappy life.
