Boredom

I am bored of living among people whom I don't understand and who don't understand me.

Many believe that there is a predefined way of living and try to make their lives according to those predefined standards. Those standards are set by religious beliefs, social conventions, popular notions, the media, institutions (including parents, they also constitute an institution), and so on. Some resort on more "scientific" notions such as psychology, behaviour theory etc. It is appreciable to read on these topics and to know them. But searching for a method of living in all these is merely a mediocre activity.

I see many people around me who are formidably confident about life. They look so "nice" and "pleasing" to many. But in my case, they generate ultimate abhorrence in me. They represent lack of contemplation and mere pragmatism for me. I suppose that they have agreed upon some predefined nature of human life and believe that they live according to it. This makes them feel triumphant and happy.
