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?
