Living the mediocre life where you will be accepted by majority or living the blissful life where you will be out casted by them?
No matter which one you choose, at the end of the day, there’ll still be unhappiness.
But let’s just put the unhappiness aside and think.
Why do we need approval from the whole world of what we do? Who set the rules of what is accepted and what is not? Just because majority doesn’t think that it’s right doesn’t makes it wrong, no?
It’s easy to say that we don’t have to care what others says, as long as we do what we think is right for us and just be happy. But who are we kidding when we say that we shouldn’t care? Deep down inside, we cared a lot about others opinion. We cared about how others see us. We give a lot of damn about how others judge us. We cared because we’re all egoistic. Though in actual fact, really, no matter what you do, others opinions are not important. How they see us is really up to them. How they want to be judgmental is really none of our business. So it all goes back to the point… just don’t fucking care. Because at the end of the day, they too, don’t give a fuck after they voiced out what’s in their mind. They don’t give a fuck after saying hurtful things, scaring you with the worst possible thing that they imagined could happen to you. They just don’t give a fuck cos they’re just being courteous or trying to show that they’re being modest. So after all that, what will happen? Nothing. Everyone will go back to where they are. Overtime, they will forget what they said to you. They won’t remember whatever things that happened to you. Because they are not you. They don’t go through the shit that you’re experiencing.
So, happy or not, is not others to judge but ourselves.

What is the right thing to do?

I believe no man is an island.
We need to survive in a community, and no one can truly live alone. We were never born alone, and even when we leave this world, we still need people.
I guess what I am trying to say is, accepting the fact that humans are social and inter-dependent creatures mean we have to be at some point, tolerate, and live in a society.
The world needs a system to function. Some systems must be adhered to, and cannot be broken. It is so easy to say 'oh I choose not to follow the majority', or 'oh I don't need people's approval'.
At the end of the day, anywhere in the world, when the traffic light turns red, you stop. When it is green, you go. Why? because the society has set those rules. yes, you can choose to break those rules.
My only question: is it necessary?
Is it worth the risk you are taking (possible accidents, injuries, damage to vehicle), is it worth the consequences (your loved ones, the people that you care).
If you are fighting for a cause or to make the world a better place, then go ahead, do what you must.
But, if the whole world stops when the traffic light turns red, and you still decide to push that accelerator, you are just fighting because you want to prove that you can break the rules, just because you can. Such selfish reasons will cause self destruction.
The problem is, the world is perfectly fine. It is the individual who chose to be an outcast that suffers and writhe in everlasting pain, until he accepts that, he too, is a part of the world.
