Today, we are living in a time where the demands we face seem endless. We are constantly challenged by daily needs that never seem to stop. Every person wants many things some in the short term and others in the long term. All of these desires and expectations put a lot of pressure on people and their mental health, which has led to the rise of psychological illnesses that were not common in the past.
Although many of these demands did not exist before, we now treat them as basic parts of life just like food, water, and clothing. That’s why we need to rethink things in a way that matches both our abilities and the mindset we live with. I believe that many of the illnesses people suffer from today such as heart disease, stress, or other health problems are not purely physical, but are caused by emotional and psychological pressure.
We now live in a time where each one of us is running in a closed circle, one that has no real end. And every time we reach one goal, we find ourselves looking at another goal ahead, like chasing a mirage in the desert. Much of this is because of social media, which has created new kinds of demands that go far beyond what each of us can really afford. The truth is, we are not all equal. Each of us has different abilities, circumstances, and resources. But unfortunately, the expectations have become the same for everyone.
The new demands created by social media include things like luxury cars, expensive fashion, vacations, and a lifestyle that requires huge amounts of money. All of this mostly benefits companies and the overall economy. But for the individual, these demands can be very harmful. We now live in a time where secondary luxuries have become more important than the basic needs of life.
That’s why we need to focus more on what is truly useful and necessary in life. Even if you have extra money, you should use it to develop yourself for example, by investing in your own future or learning new skills through courses that will benefit you and You should invest in yourself, not just in things that please others and you should spend your money and also your time in the right way according to your own point of view not that you see in the screen.
