living up to society's expectations.

Society has an unwritten set of rules. Everyone is supposed to follow these rules if we want to be accepted. These rules determine how we should look, what we should wear, how we should act, even how we should live. It determines what is cool or not, and a common goal that everyone should strive for. That goal is money. If we have money, than we can buy the look and lifestyle society thinks is perfect. The sad part is though, is that people will do anything to reach that goal. Some people will simply marry someone so that they can share in their wealth without having to do any hard work to earn that money. People appreciate the value of money when they have to work for it from the ground up. To marry into money is like taking a shortcut, and it often leads to problems. Sometimes people who do not marry into money find other ways to gain it. Those other ways can often lead to bad outcomes. And the reason these people go through all these things for a material item such as money, is that they want to feel apart of something that's important. Money has always been a symbol of power. The more money you have the more power. But what good is power if we use it selfishly? Then there really is no power if it is not changing the world for the better.
