Love and Social Acceptance

Living in society involves expectations. 

Everybody is expecting something from you: 

The good child, 

the good student, 

the good friend, 

the good citizen, 

the good buyer, 

the good presentation, 

the good manners, 

the good driver, 

the good neighbor,

the good worker,

the good spouse, 

the good parent,

 the good values,

 the good everything..

People are expecting others to be the best to match their expectations. Even, if, they don't match their own expectations. 

Normally, love will be given as a reward, when the individual was good in something and not before, not as incentive.

There's a big pressure from society to the individual.

The individual, that is growing in the society, feels the natural need to please, to feel accepted, loved by society or by certain society's groups.

This need of approval can be directly seen in the social networks, where the individual feel approved, by society, through the likes.

People should try to be their best selfs and compete with themselves to be better, so they can offer the best to others and live in a better society. 

But, this development is interior, emotional, spiritual.. this is what makes better people.. 

Not by being the best student by memorizing things other's discovered long time; 

Not by having the best car and house of the neighborhood;

Not by being in their best shape and wearing trendy clothes;

Not by being very polite, without really meaning it.

Money, appearance, status are not values.

It has its importance, as we are dependent of money and live in society, but are not what makes us important, significant, better...however and sadly,  it is an easy way to be accepted and loved by the big majority of the society.
