Scope of things in life...

I often notice most of us create our own mini-world comprising of family,friends and acquaintances and jostle to stay ahead in this 'self-created world'. I asked myself the question why most of us do this and the answer I got was that instinctively most of us are paranoid and this paranoia drives us in creating and then pushing to get ahead in our own worlds.

If one tries to see things in larger scope of things, does it matter where you are compared to people in your own world? There would always be people who would leave you desired to be them.I feel if one can ask herself the question what do I want and am I doing the right things to get what I want,life would be simpler :))
