Governed by the Masses

What is our culture? Not the stereotype that most play into, but our real culture. Are we defined by our purposeless music and suggestive dances? Or are we controlled by our sparkling jewelry and gaudy apparel? Are we empowered by our educated leaders? Or brought down by societies generalizations? “Society” sets the standards that many feel we must live by. “Society” controls the mind. But what is, who is “society”? “Society”, the man behind the curtain. “Society”, the message between the lines. “Society”, the legend from which no one knows the origin. Are we not “society”? We are ruled by ourselves. We blame “society”, yet we are “society”. We hurt ourselves unconsciously. So many are unsatisfied, yet nothing changes, Why?
