Look at the projection all around, you would know that its a 'show world'. from a small child to an adult, we all are busy making ourselves presentable, making others believe how good we are, how good we look, how good we are doing, how good our life is, all presentations. We all have created a parallel world for ourselves and in that world everything seems to be so good, of course this world does not totally overlap with the real world, so every now and then we realize that our life just sucks.
For instance, look at the world's largest community, Facebook or Twitter for that matter
, How beautiful the world seems, everyone over there happy, enjoying their lives to the fullest, everyday i open it and my timeline shows, couples romancing, families holidaying, people getting new jobs, they are getting engaged, watching movies, eating in restaurants, cooking for their wives or husbands, hundreds and hundreds of birthday wishes, millions of comments and billions of likes, marriage pictures, newborn babies, and even honeymoon pictures, i mean literally you can find them kissing, hugging and romancing. then there are mother's day, father's day wishes, they forget to wish their mom, but never to the other citizens of this artificial country. what a beautiful world it is.
Effect: Drastic, first thought, apart from me, everyone is happy. now everyone wants to do the same to be happy, its a fashion trend. if you dont do the same, your are ancient. unfortunately in reality, you have a job, a boss, who gives you orders, you dont have leaves, your have bills to pay, there are EMIs, home loans, rent, daily traffic, no pay hike, increased prices everywhere, in all real life sucks, but its only yours, others are happy, wont beleive me? go and checkout Facebook..
Other and bigger artificial world is Television. I mean seriously, major part of the television is fake. First of all there is nothing called as 'reality show' and News channels are no different, but still we tend to believe it like its happening in our own life. serials and soaps are like killing our family mindsets. one person marrying thrice or more, every family has someone whose whole and sole purpose is to harm others, young people are in this world only to fell in love and then its cool to fight the world for their true and eternal love. Parents have only one task to oppose, well at least one of them if not both.
Effect: Joint families are old fashioned, fathers of daughters, search only for those guys who live away from family, or is single son. making girlfriend/boyfriend is must, always ready to fight opposing parents, tragedy is new cool you see. most importantly in a joint families people are loosing trust on each other. Its all expectations which are soaring high, and when they do not fill, which mostly don't, one feels like he has compromised in life and living a burden.
Then there comes a major stakeholder, commercials. think exactly what you see in any commercial? word is perfection, which does not exist in real. perfect girls everywhere, perfect hair, perfect eyes, perfect figure, perfect voice, perfect dress, perfect makeup, everything about the girls in a commercial is perfect. Male gender, stud, height-weight equation in equilibrium, not a single hint of fat, dream boy of every women. why? only because product must be sold.
Effect: we all want to be the same. girls want to look the same, boys want to be the same, and believe me nobody is able to achieve it, not even the people who are already their in those advertisements. the people whom we see in those ads are result of heavy makeup, high lenses cameras and most importantly, editing, mixing and photoshop. everything is made perfectly according to the script, yes its a script not the real world.
Problem is all these things have become an integral part of our life, so much that our happiness, sadness, jealousy, love, likes, care and all other emotions have become slave of these artificial world. this is making us more unhappy, looking normal is no reason to be sad, but we become sad, because we fail to look good. we become sad that others are holidaying and we are not, others traveling to different countries, we are not. others are falling in love, we are not. others eating in particular restaurant, people are watching movies, buying cars, buying houses, apartments, dogs, cats, buffaloes and what not. I am bald, i am not fair, i am not having a good looking wife, my husband is fat, all these criteria, what do you think has come from?
Only answer i can think of is the artificial world we live in !!
