Social Norms Vs Passions
Why Social norms are dominant on our passions?
Social norms are the behavioral expectations and cues within a society or group. Social norms are customary rules of behavior that coordinate our interactions with others. "the rules that a group uses for appropriate and inappropriate values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors." These rules may be explicit or implicit. Failure to follow the rules can result in severe punishments, including exclusion from the group. The social norms indicate the established and approved ways of doing things, of dress, of speech and of appearance. A man made society and a man made rules. Whereas majority of the people are unhappy, unsatisfied, and restless. Passion is a powerful emotion such as love, joy, hate, anger. Passion is a deep, overwhelming emotion: “Never underestimate the power of passion.”
Why we are not strong enough to face it and express it. Why we are misusing and misinterpreting our religion, our culture, our lives just for others happiness. Why we are waiting for others to change and fix those issues. Why we can not do by ourselves. Why it is so hard to change or speak from our inner soul. Why no-one is happy? Some hides tears in the eyes, some hides their dreams and wishes in their hearts, some share only smile and behind that smile hides their sadness. Sometimes people has everything in their life but still not happy or satisfied. Whereas on the other hand sometimes people has nothing in their life but very relaxed and satisfied. Life is kind a hard but not that hard . There is a solution of every problem. It depends on the ones how to explore their own problems and try to find the solutions without using any ego.
Social norms are as important as the passions .People commonly engage in activities that are costly to themselves and mostly benefit others. Why people commonly performs good deeds and refrain from selfish ones because of social pressure and norms that attach honor just for the sake of others. Majority of us care about the opinion others have of them, they care about their own self image but on the other hand they are killing their own feelings and wishes.
Duh! I m not against social norms but I m against when different tasks handed down for many generations and we are continuing it just for our pride even without using our own observations and analysis. We need to stop here and re-think for our own and others betterments then adopt or continue it.
First examine your own self by a strong need to maintain conformity between one’s actions, or even feelings, and certain values and goals.Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first ask questions, feel the answer learn to trust your heart and mind . Always be true to yourself, worship kindness ,love and peace. Confidence, knowledge and assertive communication play an important role toward success. Here self-image behavior has a considerable influences first explores your own personality . Always try to rest in reason and move in passion. Ones you understand who you are? Then it will be very easy to conquer the world.
God bless and keep smiling!
