It's the art of giving fck about everything that is the real problem of our life . We keep on comparing ourselves with exceptional people and feel we are just a trash of this exceptional world . We all are taught and made to believe that everyone can be exceptional , all we need to do is be workaholic and keep on working towards our goal . This is the biggest lie we continue to believe . If everyone can be exceptional then no one is exceptional .. isn't it correct . But because we believe that everyone can we can be exceptional , whenever we fail to do something exceptional , we start giving f*ck about what everyone around us will think of us , we believe we are defected .
And to overcome that feeling we try to be exceptional by being worse .We either victimize ourselves i.e. blame everything on our circumstances , on our parents , on our friends , on our teachers who failed to teach ourselves to be acceptable in the society or continue to stay in a state of denial ,thinking we our successful in spite of not achieving anything great . Both of the two state mentioned above leads to our doom . One forces us to be exceptional by being worse and the other makes us an entitled person .
