Typical goals of the average society

 I have seen people who have very small goals. I have gone through some answers on Quora where people in their early twenties shared the goals that they want to complete before 30. Some of those goals were cracking some exams, getting government jobs, buy a car with their own money, complete masters, get married and many more like these. After reading such answers, I felt that there are still so many people who have a limited mindset. They think really small. Also, at the same time, it scared me a little. Not much, but yes, a little because I realized I think way bigger. But, it's not really something to be worried about because I believe I can climb the biggest ladder. 

The point I'm talking about is that why people think so small? Maybe they have not realized the worth of this life. Or maybe they have become so careless that they don't even care about themselves. The thing is, people these days are enjoying materialistic things so much that they don't even know the taste of real joy. Moreover, gradually I have realized that none of my friends have that mindset of making their lives great. I mean, it's not about money or fame. I'm talking about accomplishing something great in one's lifetime. Maybe, this could be the reason I don't really enjoy the company of my friends anymore. 

There are certain norms made by society that are useless and should be abolished. Then, the problem that arises is that majority of the people are not going to accept this fact because, for them, these norms are their life goal.

Now, I don't really know if what I've written is understandable to you or not. So, I'm just ending this here. Hope you understand it better and do not get confused. Once again, not trying to offend anyone.

Have a great day!
