Maintaining Our Own View

Many times when we look through the distorted lens of societal perception, we end up looking at things with a skewed vision. A vision that is often not our own, coloured by the expectations and experiences of other people. There is nothing wrong with society at large, but when our views on ourselves are the same as those of society we end up suffering. What do we suffer from? We suffer from not being ourselves. From being out of touch with who we truly are-and more importantly, who we can be. This is why it is essential that we maintain our own perspective separate from society when we are trying to grow as people or try new things.
