What’s is the biggest lie we are told?

The biggest thing society is making people to do, is to make them chase after money at all cost. I know money is very important but losing your peace of mind, family and good health just because you want to be successful in life is totally unacceptable. Another thing society pushes people to do is, the pressure to meet a certain age milestones. Society may make you Feel that if you’ve not bought a house, marry, or have a good paying job, then you have failed. The truth is that life isn’t a race.

Every individual has their own time, and a different journey. As I have grown to understand life, life is all about balance. If you have money that you can take care of yourself and your family, you have peace of mind, and you have good people around you, you have really achieved a lot of things, that rich people are still looking for.  So, instead of chasing after things that society is  recognized as success, the best thing is to define your success with what gives you fulfillment.

I was told that once a girl at puberty gets close to men she would become pregnant. I believe our parents did not know how to teach sex education and that was why they came up with that.

Lol I heard that one too. At least your parents were kind enough to tell you that this was only applicable to girls that have reached the stage of puberty. Back then, we were told that even as kids, girls would get pregnant if they went close to a man or someone of the opposite gender, they’re immediately get pregnant     and growing up to really learn how women get pregnant and comparing it with the terrifying lies that we were told as kids just made me laugh real hard. Although I believe that was the best way parents then felt they’ll better keep their kids safe from indulging in premarital relationships at a tender age.
