Stephanie Whitehead – Discontent

Many people conform to the popular opinions and strive to fit into society despite whether or not that means following their dreams. Many people stifle their true wants and desires in search for making money and finding a good solid job. They feel this is a necessity that must be achieved and they can only be happy once they have successfully accomplished this goal. Unfortunately once they do they find that they are still miserable and they don’t understand why. This can be explained by the fact that their entire lives have been spent striving for money and material gain instead of following their dreams and doing what they are passionate about. They have forgotten themselves and opted to become the drone of society. I believe a person should strive to achieve personal, internal peace and enjoyment. They aught to do things they get pleasure out of and put their heart into it entirely. If you are unwilling to put your heart into something then it is not necessarily right for you to do. A person should surrender to their petty whims and desires. If they want to go somewhere, then they aught. If they want to eat a certain food, then they should feel free to and not be worried about what others will say and if hey will fit into culturally acceptable norms.
