Diary of a Madman!

This book was crazy like most of the others. But the connection between society and book seemed a really good comparison, that I didn't pick up on til I was in class. The society around us brings everyone down and "eats them up." If you don't fit into society then you are often made fun up until you finally start acting like the world around you!

    i disagree that society around us brings everyone down... we are very judgmental in todays world, but if it was true that society brings everyone down..than there would be no successful people nor society as a whole.

    On the other hand, while being brought down may not keep us from being successful, does it keep us from being as successful as we would otherwise be? If everyone was truly free to follow their passions (I believe Dharma said that-- am I dating myself again???), would their be much more success in the world-- or to put it perhaps a better way-- would there be a lot more happiness in the world? Here's the other question that comes up for me: is the net effect of this pressure a good or bad thing for society as a whole? Just wondering.
