Million lemmings can't be wrong?

    Quite a long time ago, it became fashionable to be "positive." Well, a kind of optimist, smile and enjoy every manifestation of life. As happens with every trend, as soon as it gains strength, millions of lemmings pick it up and begin to implement it in form, but not in content. People are very amusing, from whom you constantly hear cliches from the series “Be more positive!”, “Smile, and people will reach for you”, “the main thing is optimism in life”. People, not knowing what to write, write this blizzard even in their pages on dating sites. Moreover, the more they write, the clearer the truth appears behind these lines: loneliness, unfulfilled hopes, fear.

    You look at a person and you are surprised. Everything about him seems to be shitty, but he is trying his best to make himself an optimist. What for? And because it is customary, for the sake of a social stamp, that a successful person should be optimistic and believe in the best. Although, of course, this stamp has some prerequisites. A self-confident person is not afraid of the future. But this self-confidence cannot be triggered by demonstrations of confidence in front of others.

    On the contrary, this gives rise only to a reverse reaction - it leads to the fact that a person becomes ineffective. He spends too much effort on seeming, instead of being. Frustration, melancholy, depression - these are important elements in the work of the psyche. What it is? It’s just that when a person does something wrong, and subconsciously understands it, he, for example, experiences depression. He often himself cannot explain what happened, but there is no mood. At this time, his subconscious mind processes the situation, takes lessons, so that next time he can do everything right. And this process does not need to be interfered with, it is natural, just like pain and fear, which, as you know, work to survive and maintain the integrity of the body.

    But lemmings do not understand this, they should have Pasitiff always and everywhere. It seems to me that our civilization is moving farther and farther away from the real world, from a real understanding of how things work. Everyone fills pictures and stamps.
    Earn a million - although, if you ask, and what for he, the person at first will not find what to answer, and then he will carry some kind of crap about apartments, cars and yachts.
    Lose weight - although with the lifestyle that most of us lead, we do not need a good physical shape. And that way of life, in which it is necessary, and even more - it will come on its own - scares us elementarily. Instead, we exhaust the poor body in fitness, painfully try to eat nothing, and, as a rule, fail, which leaves us depressed and frustrated.
    To find love, although what most of us (and many throughout our lives) seek, simply does not exist in the form described in books and regulated by social morality. It sounds pathetic, but this is a gigantic deception since childhood) What we call love consists of two completely different components that cannot live together - but this is a topic for a separate post)
    Yes, and we are looking, again, essentially starting from other people's opinions about what is beautiful. Glossy magazines where Photoshop corrects everything (sometimes even a navel is accidentally smeared). Advertising. Models. This is what creates the taste. I think people who met people live on TV know what a big difference there is between image and reality. But such units.

    Can a million lemmings be wrong? I think yes. Just to make mistakes, or to simply confuse the cause with the effect is not so important. This happens every day and, in general, it should be so. Because some clever lemmings can use this to achieve their goals. Is it good to be smart lemmming? Yes, millions of others say)
