Acharya Prashant explains that social and cultural norms have their specific place in life, primarily in peripheral and unimportant matters. While social arrangements like seating or traffic rules provide convenience, they must not be allowed to interfere with intimate and significant aspects of life such as love, joy, freedom, and spiritual worship. He warns that a tragedy occurs when our deep relationships and internal responses become dictated by society. He observes a contradiction where people often rebel against small social rules like traffic signals but lack the courage to rebel against major social pressures like career choices or marriage. He emphasizes that one should not allow society to dictate their life's work or internal values.
