Status Anxiety


The first question that will often come up to you when you meet someone at a party is:
“What is your job then?”
Depending on how dazzling your answer is, people will be more interested in knowing you or leaving you behind quickly.
We are concerned that we live in a world full of arrogant people,
People who take a small part of us – our professional identity –
And use it to reach a complete judgment of our value as human beings.
The equivalent of this arrogant is your mother.
It does not care about your position, but your spirit.
But most people are not our mothers, so we worry a lot about their judgments and insults.
It is said that we live in a material time, but it is even more so.
We live in a time when emotional tenderness is associated with physical acquisition.
When people are looking for money, big jobs or fancy cars, they rarely want these things for themselves,
But they want attention and respect or even love that is given to those who won those things.
The next time you see a young man driving a Ferrari you do not think he is a greedy person,
But imagine that he is a weak person in need of love.
We are also concerned about the frequent telling of us that we can be anything.
We hear this from our first days.
It is great to have all these opportunities in the modern world, but what if we fail in such a world?
What if you can not reach the top when you are told that there is every chance for it?
Self-help bookshelves in offices filled with two types of books depicting the contemporary anxiety situation.
The first one has two titles such as (How to succeed in 15 minutes) and (Be a millionaire day and night)
The second carries two titles such as “How do you adapt to your low self-esteem?”
These two rankings are linked.
When you tell people that they are capable of owning everything, while in reality only a few people can afford it,
The community will end up with a lot of discontent and sadness.
A related problem is that our societies are fairly fair.
In the past I knew that the regime was totally unjust.
It was not wrong for you to be a farmer, nor to be a master.
Today, our societies are said to be greedy, where rewards are given to those who deserve them,
Those are the wise ones among us.
It sounds like a favorite, but there’s a nasty stench at the bottom.
If you really believed in a society where it was on top, it deserved it,
It follows that those on the bottom deserve it as well.
Do not make the bureaucracy out of poverty just hateful, but somehow deserved.
During the Middle Ages in England, the poor man was called by chance.
It is literally meant for those who did not enjoy wealth.
Now, especially in the United States, where bureaucracy is strong, they are clearly labeled losers.
We rarely believe in luck as an interpreter of what our present state is.
No one would believe you if you said you were fired from your job for your bad luck.
Your career has become the first judgment on your personality.
It is no wonder that suicide rates are rising exponentially in society when it joins the global civilization.
How do we adapt?
First by refusing to ratify the possibility of any society becoming a bureaucrat;
Happiness and coincidence are still playing a major role in determining where you are in the pyramid.
Do not treat anyone – not even yourself – as fully deserving of their current status.
Second, make your own definition of success rather than relying on the definition of society without thinking.
Success has many facets. Many are not related to niche as industrial capitalism defines it in its value system.
Those who make money rarely succeed in empathy or family life.
Third and most important of all, we must refuse to let our external achievements determine the meaning of ourselves fully.
There are several essential aspects of us that will never appear on business cards,
Which will not have the opportunity to notice that rude question is limited to imagination: “What do you mean?”
I…
