“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about society and how the individual relates to it.
Current culture doesn’t have your best interest at heart.
It unconsciously wants you to act sheepish.
It seeks your attention, and more importantly, your obedience.

“What are you talking about, Zaid?”
Self-control is a valuable skill to learn in the 21st century, especially considering that you live in a hedonistic society.
But what people don’t tell you is that there is an ugly side to discipline.
Allow me to explain..
