It is now an in-thing in the society that people do things to get other people's approval, thereby denying themselves the joy of being their own self. This condition makes individuals to lose their self esteem, their freedom and their inner joy.
This kind of life style if deeply looked into is as a result of the beliefs drummed into some of us while growing up. Some individuals grew up in an environment where they have to accept every decision made by their parents over them whether it is good or bad for them. This makes the individual never to have a mind of his/her own and it then reflects greatly when the individual is grown. That is why some ladies walk on the streets half naked in the name of fashion but in the real sense, they just want to 'dress up' in order to gain the acceptance of some part of the society.
You also find some young men joining cultism or doing drugs and they tag it 'the big boys club', but it still does not escape the fact that they are simply looking for acceptance.
All these societal demeanors leaves the individuals associated to it confused on who they really are and they are all manipulations known as 'the mind games'.
Teaching children at a tender age how to take their own decisions and have a mind of their own helps them at a later age to' live a life of purpose'.
