"There is no “right” decision. We fear society’s judgment upon us if we make the “wrong” decision. Fear is one of the leeches which limit our society. It stops us from trying to pursue the things we love and forces us to settle with our everyday routine. It is responsible for crippling the dreams of aspirants. The very reason we don’t move forward is fear. What defines the prescriptive norms of society or what is right is simply based on the concept of not degrading other people. If you’re not hurting anybody, then go for it. Otherwise, the reason you are not moving forward is because you limit yourself.
You’re fat and you want to be a model.
You don’t have a talent in singing but you love singing.
You're a boy and you like another boy.
You want to work overseas but your family won’t let you.
You want to own a dog but your wife doesn’t want to.
All of these statements exist in real life and many more are just waiting to be trashed and cast aside. People are confused, more likely cautious, they end up not doing anything about it. Society will always judge, even the people closest to your heart. No matter what they say, someday, you will realize in your deathbed all the things you never did because you are too conscious with what people have to say.
In the end, there are a lot of reasons to never try. There are a million excuses available. Yes, being passive is the safest choice. But, who are we to blame for the lost opportunities? Only ourselves. "
