I entered my allotted classroom and was stunned to see all the groups already made.
The rich ones, the boring ones, the studious ones all segregated.
Before conversing to a person we check their Instagram profiles because a certain standard of living has become a prerequisite for friendships.
We all know how fancy cars one owns or how palace like one’s house is or who they are friends with, through their profiles on social media.
The society is being sucked into materialism which is slowly hollowing our lives.
(You can’t feel emotions from possessing emotion less things.)
Is this excessive knowledge a Boon or a Bane?
Why are we judged on things we have no control of?
Till the time we are adults our lifestyle is maintained through our parents income, which we have no control of ; we can’t choose to be the son of Ambani or the person begging on streets.
When we choose lifestyle as a basis of forming friendships,
What happens?
Ask yourself
Why do we take substances in the presence of these people who we call our friends to feel happy
when friendships should make us happy?
We keep on forgetting the fact that friendship is not the starting point but the end product of being peers of a journey called LIFE.

Why do we feel tranquility in anonymity?

This veil of anonymity pours confidence in our being to put our most raw personality forward.
These apps free us from the anxiety that keeps coiling inside Of us for the acceptance of being loved for who we are and not what the circle has made us.

The girl behind the books at school gives you peace at night under the name girl666.
The day we realise that ‘friendship’ and ‘lifestyle’ aren’t related is the day we give birth to purity in relationships.
If you don’t agree with me then why do we go to therapists, to talk about our feelings when our contact list contains more than 100 names?
Have the courage to be called a hypocrite rather than making the same mistake knowingly.
