What Problem do Individuals Face When It comes to Choosing on Their Own?
It is so difficult to distinguish man as human and man as male. when we say the history of mankind do we want to say the history of males or of humans? It’s so confusing. We are not even considering women as part of mankind or clearly, we mean ‘human’.
Well, to be honest, this whole question raises the topic of feminism, which has different views and perceptions. But our concern is not feminism as it will be too lengthy a topic to discuss. The main issue is the opportunity to let an individual choose what he feels is good for him or her without interfering with our free advice and suggestions. Our concern is about individual liberty.
An individual ‘really’ has the capacity to know his or her good and can have decisions of their own. Though one may have the determination to go ahead with a decision, he must also be ready to bear/face its consequences, good and bad, both. We always take decisions under other’s influence and if we fail no one is actually ready to accept their inference in your choice-making process. We have to face everything single-handedly. Alas! We are left alone.
From a 'Social Animal' to 'Social Media Animal' :
There is a statement, ’Man is a Social Animal’. Indeed, he is a social animal who is found passing his time on the social media platform, commenting on people’s choice, thoughts, decisions, or statements, at times augmenting from behind the screens of mobile laptops and computers where he is sitting all alone in his room, without any ‘physical’ company.
Now again question man means Male or human, or here a man is equal to humans including all their genders existing on this planet earth. The day we will give break to all time-consuming social media applications and have a minute conversation with real people, we all in a true sense will become ‘social beings’. Still, our individuality will always remain static and we will have to face every situation on our own.
We are alone in the crowd. Yes, we can share our problems, ask for solutions but ultimately you are the one who is finalizing the things for us. Not only our problems but our happiness is also confined to us, alone. You may be excited and happy about something and want to share it with everyone we know but every person is not always keen to hear about your achievements.
Who Is Your Only Well-Wisher Till The End Of Your Life?
We want to pour out emotions but eventually, keep hurting ourselves for expecting people to react in the same way as you are or as you want. Maybe they are sad in their life and are suffering from some issues which they too want to share.
Your real well-wisher is you, yourself. Always try to improve your own abilities. Never compete with others rather compete with your past progress. Break your own records. Try to be the best of yourself and you will be happy. If you really want people with you to be happy then first satisfy your own needs and be happy.
Don't expect people to do something special for you always. You are special by birth. Be confident. Believe in your talent and ability.
After saying learn to be strong and confident, it is vital to be emotionally intelligent. Never rely on others for your words, they might be busy in their works. Make your decisions on your own, never get influenced by what others say or think. Never ever do something because others want you to do so.
Who are these 'others'? They might be your neighbors, relatives, long-distance relatives, friends, friends of friends, and even your family.
Why You as an Individual Must Not Bother About Other's Advice Much?
Every individual is talented. He is gifted with something special. Cherish your gifted talent and respect. Never give up on your special abilities. Every person is a unique behavior. Some people are talkative some are shy, some people are blunt in speech and some are careful about what they say. Some might think more and do less and some might do first and think later.
Some people are strong and confident about what they want and some are doubtful about their own abilities. Some people are self-praising and some are grounded. Some people are unable to handle failure with grace and success with gratitude whereas some can do that. Some people run behind money, fame, and luxuries while some people are hungry for knowledge, peace, and enlightenment.
Some wish for immortality whereas some people enjoy every single moment of mortal life. Some are negative, some are positive. Some are self-less and some are selfish. Some are optimistic and some of us are pessimistic.
But most important is we all are individual beings, who breathe individually. Our uniqueness is a precious possession we can have. Maintain it. If one is right other one is not possible always wrong. Individual choices can differ and clashes will happen in relationships. But we should respect others' choices and preferences. Every individual has his own distinct priority list. For one family is a priority and for others, it might be his career.
Remember we are talking about man as human including all three genders. So male, female, or third gender, they all have an equal opportunity of making choices and protect their individuality.
Our Identity is Our Individuality
Individuality is our identity. We should accept reality and walk with dignity. Sometimes maintaining your ego also becomes important. The formula is very simple you accept me as I am and I will accept you as you are. No need to change one's way of living, thinking, or attitudes. It is very simple every person will face the consequences of their behavior.
So, though we humans are social animals but are individual qualities are our unique features and they make us stand different from not only animals but also among other humans. Thus, individual liberty is a personal concern and everyone has a choice of selecting better paths for them.
