Circle of society

Just think about it; being born, going to school, finding a great job, getting married, having children, having grandchildren... What's next ? Being burried and becoming a fertilizer ? In my culture, being an adult means you must have: jobs, family, and children. If you don't have one of them, you are a loser. Being a parent means your children must have: jobs, family, and children. And again, if your children don't have even only one of them, you are failed as parents. That's how the society sees you and it doesn't care whether you are happy or not with its requirements. The sad thing is you don't have any choice but to fulfil those qualifications for being one of its members... After that, you start seeing others with the same eyes.
