Compliance. Following the path of others without questioning whether this is the right path for us. Accepting handed down constructs are the only way for us to live our lives.
Assuming the self-proclaimed ‘gurus’ know best. Bowing down to false ‘experts’. Accepting someone else will always know us better than we know ourselves.
Living in a culture that no longer serves us. Staying too long in relationships that no longer energise us. Being so long in one place, our minds become stilted and stagnant.
Regret. Disquiet. Distrust. Frustration. Anger. Resentment.
Each act, each choice. Cause and effect.
The compromises we make.
