Basically in this ultra-modern materialistic world,the respect someone receive is directly proportional to the digits in the bank account.Consider number of seconds in clock as respect given ,if you are credited with 4 digits then what you get is 10 seconds ,if it is 5 digits you got more lucky than the other you would benefited with extra 20 seconds ,but if it is 6 digits the clock can be made as your table fan.Agree or not?(few people are such a crap)

The middle class life crisis is the hardest crisis, one could probably face in their life. Analyzing its roots,let's start from the first human(whoever you think) the world population statistics taken by WHO states there were only 3 billion people in 1960 and it spiked to nearly 7.6 billion in 2019 ,that's a massive spike in the population which resulted in poverty and also the many economic crisis ,also politics which made rich more richer and poor more poorer.This mass population paved way for unrealistic culture by imitating others and not realizing our own potential.This ultimately increased the traffic of competitions where everyone needs to stand in the first place.

Everything starts from the birth,likewise when a child is born ,he/she’s certified for being born ,to a step ahead while deciding the name of child their parents also decide the profession,education,schooling and all.To the present generation only few of us had cherished with educated parents,while many of us parents are still stuck in 80’s(not complaining ,just a detailing),it can be precisely stated as if a child refuses to go school for day because of rain,they start to describe that “Once upon a time when we were used to going to school ,we used to walk around 7 mountains ,seas…….blah blah…..”.From the birth to primary education every aspects of life is really a magical one,those are the happiest phase of Middle class life.Later as soon as we grow up we’ll happen to see the hardest reality in everyday.like in our school the guy sitting next to us with a most expensive Mont Blanc pen,and we sitting aside with most stylish,elegantly designed Shanghai Hero Pen,this is the starting phase of realization of our family economical situation.Also this inferiority are fed to us by our parents indirectly ,in fact that’s the worst case.Later after high school ,we’ll be in little bit upgraded with our inferiority and illusion of responsibility arises in our unconscious mind of hell,also that thought is often fueled up by our parents and society that only us can change the future generation and provide good life to the society.Often we’d consider this as a proud thing to do and set this us a goal of life.There is also an unwritten law of choosing our major subject,there is also a hierarchical system as 1st group,2nd,3rd...it goes on,this kind inferiority is fueled by the whole education system.The chaos we feel in this phase is really hard,our tiny brains tend to explode at this phase.
After the schooling we’re exposed to the actual real spinning world of reality,before this exposure we’d have dreamt of traveling to moon,becoming the President ,actor,scientist who invents modern flying car after watching Harry potter but then we got realize that surviving in this hectic world is actual achievement than those achievements.This is the phase we found that money as the most valuable thing to possess.And nothing in the world is equal to money.This phase is the worst phase which we’d realize after a long time that we actually messed this phase very badly.This is the phase in which is the introductory stage to depressions,anxiety ,fear of future.More than this there are some hard realities in this phase such as hanging out in restaurants ,which makes us more miserable for being in middle class.Sometimes this could affect us positively like making our own pocket money,taking up a part-time job in McDonald's,freelancing as graphic designer etc.We feel bit happy after spending 30 hours a week for jobs,and finally getting paid,We spend all money in all means we can ,like having a decent size of butter popcorn and a coke while watching film in PVR, hanging out is not a worry at all now but all you don’t have is time.Also we seek happiness by spending it in improving our lifestyle but our mind often asks for more and more like it doesn’t realize its saturation point.This leads to the fear,anxiety,depression leaving us with no hope for us like adding topping to our pizza we are added with pile of responsibilities.With all this driven responsibilities we finally end up in the Consumer society which is focused in unrealistic happiness and success after finishing the rituals of life from being certified for birth to the most respectable Post graduate program which pay you the salary by which you can experience the air from the clock,also your lifetime goal is to setting up a good life to your children which is no match to the life which came across.
Trust me ,all this thing which is said above has something to do with our definition to success,we people who born and raised in a middle class have the special ability of defining success as to be respectable in society ,we convince ourselves as this what success is and continue to live in a fake illusion of success term defined by the society.
People don’t want to feel success for themselves,they want to be successful in front of others,the same applies for happiness too.And we pretend as such this is damn art of pretending to be happy and successful in front of others.That’s why it's a great art to be mastered.
Middle class life is an ART.
I repeat, Middle class life is an ART
A sensible Conclusion����
