Living by the Rules


Rejection kills. Yes, it can. But before you give in to depression, is it really worth it? Should what others perceive of you dictate how you live your life? If you always play by the rules they make, you will end up satisfying them and forgetting YOU. Society have put up certain STANDARDS, telling us to live by it unless you want scrutiny. People can be very easy to judge and won't mind destroying your self-esteem. They discredit you, then give themselves a pat in the back for being "better" than you are. The hurt it can cause lingers, it can even cause a person's life. But the people who make bad remarks won't make a big deal out of what they said and couldn't care less. So you shouldn't let them win. Why live by their rules? You can be in control and say what is "good" to you is what good should be. But don't get too selfish, of course, there is also a time to admit flaws. You should be self-assured without being arrogant. The key is to really get to know yourself first, then be educated as much as you possibly can about this world and finally standing up for what you believe is right.
