Barefoot on Baker Streetᴿᵒˡᵉ ᴾˡᵃʸ. In fact, people just ... (№ 409149)

In fact, people simply suggest to themselves that it may be so, but not otherwise. Patterned thinking, gleaned from others, from books or movies. But whoever says anything is only his subjective opinion, and not the truth of the first instance. But believing a person, his authority, people begin to accept statements as the one and only possible truth. In fact, being just, say, a theater director is boring. But those who allowed to change their concept, putting on other people's glasses with someone else's experience, begin to be only someone or something one, and after years they look around, look around and in panic try to understand what the hell brought them here and how in general it so happened that everyday life became a torment? But people themselves assign themselves some kind of role and voluntarily put a label on themselves, fearing to face ridicule, misunderstanding, sidelong glances. They begin to voluntarily play with those toys that are offered to them by predecessors or public opinion. That is why there are so few individuals who do only what they consider acceptable to themselves - not everyone is ready to go against everyone in order to remain themselves. Fearing to lose something - power, money, respect - or someone - wife, parents, friends - almost everyone allows themselves to be ruled, exchanging themselves for such dubious values as love, trust, respect. And one day they discover that their loved ones are cheating on them, business partners are cheating, and friends are using. And the sacrifice - you yourself - shatters into dust. Ha ha ha. This is how to make deals with the devil - he will always take you and, of course, what he gave in return for your soul.
