The living
and suffering in a multioptional society
Today we
are living in a society which is full of new opportunities and changes in all
aspects of life. No matter if religious, technical or educational
possibilities, nowadays we are capable of choosing our own way. An individualization
and a development of our personality occurs which gives the life a common
sense and possibilities to unfold one's abilities. We are free and can search our own way of happiness.
But there are
also a lot of side-effects. The large number of opportunities is too much for our
population, we are stressed and tense because we are indecisive which way we
should choose and worried about it if it could be the wrong way or not.
For instance,
the topic religion should be discussed shortly. Former, there was only one
religion, but today there are so much influences of different cultures, that we don't know which religion, belief or spiritual experience we should accept. As consequence, people tend
to secularize or they adopt various religions, but in the end there is no
satisfied solution. There are so much decisions to take that we are utterly
overtaxed and in danger of losing our identity.
Next to religion, we should also take a glance on technical issues. We
are a consuming and very materialistic society and therefore, a huge amount of
money on videogames, mobile phones and other is spent, but the question is how
long do we have these electronic things. One week later, a better game
or phone is put on the market and we are dissatisfied because we have the old
version. The development and improvement is becoming faster and faster, nothing is good enough
and works well enough .
Likewise, we have the problem with our education. As young
people we have so much opportunities to study and to work that we don't know
where we should begin. Former, with an A-levels degree there was no problem to get a well-paid job. But the present is more complicated. Without a final qualification there is not even a chance to pursue a career or to set up an own firm. Even with a
university degree it's very hard to get a job, especially a job you want to
have. There is less offer than demand on the market, due to so many students, and also the world crisis bears the blame. However, what should the future look like? Will there be a grade after grade to have to reach? Should we
study till the fiftyish until it's possible to get the profession we want to
reach and to have a secure future?
In my opinion, that's the suffering of a multioptional society, it's an
endless process in improving because we will be never satisfied with our
achievements and we have to work harder and harder to survive. It's a pity, or?
