“There are so many ways through narrative myth and the validation of social media to reassure ourselves that we are doing things right that has meant the concept of rightness has been shon of any meaning. It has become mere lip service. Rather living the right life means being in a state of questioning. It involves self-sacrifice. Making choices should not be risk free, if they are then we are not considering the right options. We have to be ok with giving up capital, social capital, online capital and actual capital. And only then we can figure out how to be right. These is a socratic saying: she who is not contented with what she has would not be contented with what she would like to have.”
