S O C I E T Y S O C I E T Y S O C I E T Y

Why is it that society nowadays is so focused on failure? Everything seems backwards, with more focus on people’s flaws than their beauties and a negative bias under which we’re told that if we’re not the best we will not succeed.

For some unknown reason the world’s eyes have developed a tunnel vision that is gradually becoming narrower and narrower, casting aside those who dare to be different and individual. Now there is only room for those with perfect grades, perfect looks and perfect ideals. But what does perfect even mean? Who has the nerve to think they can categorise individuals based on a never-ending series of tests? No one ever considers the creative ones or the ones who maybe don’t perform so well under pressure.


I hate that it all comes down to an hour or so and your whole future can depend on how you act in that moment. What about life? Does anyone ever consider how we all act outside the exam hall or the test centre? Maybe if there were more emphasis on how to be a functional human being and not an educational robot our society wouldn’t be so messed up.
