It's a strange feeling but for my entire life I've though about this. From your parents to the school and the ones surrounding you it feels like you have to fullfil some kind of behaviors. We reached some point in society where the one's who would like to improve himselves and stand above others can't do it because we don't let them. And the main problem is that we have no reason to do that, It' may seem that is our ego who demands us to do it. We are just hindering us and making a worse place to live. The worst part of this feeling comes when you realize that there are people that not even know about it but might do it on pourpose.
