Determining Expectations and Desires

Are you really the one determining your expectations and desires? Or is it an imposition created by society subconsciously? Is this imposition good and virtuous? These impositions should be questioned. The reason for the unrest may lie here. The criteria for the perception of beauty imposed on us are unattainable. This is a toxic train of thought. We covet features that we can never achieve, and we spend money and time to achieve them. This situation allows this exploitative, despicable system to grow and rise above unhappy people, those who will never be happy.
