#7 We are status seekers

We all cognitively understand that we are born unique. So then, why do we still get into the mode of comparing ourselves with others around us? What makes us compete for things that society keeps on the pedestal and may not be of real value to us. The status-seeking game makes us do things that we would not have thought of otherwise. It makes us choose our career; it drives how we live and what we spend time on. It guides us on what to purchase, which car to drive, how to design our house and with whom to speak, and whom should we avoid. Imagine how would life be if we moved away from this status-seeking game and lived to enjoy our uniqueness to the fullest.
