Society Norms

[bestwriter]

There are norms everyhere we have to follow whether we can or not They are just there and we have to follow or one is ostracised.

This poem says it all

INVINCIBLE YOU

You need not be a committee member
To awaken people from their slumber
Your deeds, your actions play the role
To churn the feelings in a soul.


Wait not for praise nor fame
Alas it’s not worth the game
Just live your life a good one too
Let people see what you do


It spreads like fire just you wait
When it happens you feel great!
Live the word of divine life
There’s joy in struggle and in strife.


People watch the way you live
They feel happy when you give
You are the drop that makes the ocean
Keeping the world ever in motion


Society never consults you
Making rules that suit a few
Take the wand in your hand
And create for you a happy land


Worry not what people say
Please yourself in every way
Let not the world order you
To be happy is your due


You play your role as good as you can
Spreading kindness in your lifespan
Do your bit and do it well
Let your actions cast the spell!


And when the day comes to part
You can say it from your heart
I have been fair, truthful and kind.
A better world I’ve left behind.

I agree, we need to follow the Society Norms and if we don't then it would be tough and if we go against these norms then we may face hard times.

But if you are bold and go about doing the right thing you can weather the criticism and move on. I am doing that all lthe time.

I only obey social norms if to not do so would get me in trouble. I don't care about society. I groove to my own beat.

Same here. Following all those norms just to please society would be so frustrating. There are so many that would drive me crazy. I am not a church goer as that is a norm one is expected to follow - just an example

Honestly I don't care for society's standards on certain things and I always have lived my life the way I want to without caring about what society thinks of me. I'm like @MamaFrankie, I do my own thing.

As long as the way we live does not in any way cause harm to another there is no reason why we should follow norms

Bestwriter, you've got it exactly!

I feel it's hard to face criticism also when your parents, siblings and your friends are against you and you need someone to support you and if there is none then you may not go far.
