Life is a sine wave consisting of highs and lows. The majority is living in the same highs and lows every year for all their lives.

They are stuck in the same rhythm day in and day out.

“Most men and women die intellectually at 25, but are not buried until 60”

— G. E. Marchand

Society and school teach you how life works and what success means:

• being good in school
• to get into a good university
• make a lot of debt for the university
• graduate with a degree in medicine, law, or engineering (the highest-paying job opportunities)
• find a high-paying job
• work your a* off
• get promoted
• marry
• have some kids (but not too many)
• buy a house
• have more debt
• be dependable on the job for the money

and then, like the quote states: get buried at 60, or if you’re lucky, you live longer and enjoy a boring retirement in front of the TV.
