You make a compelling point, and I completely agree. The cycle of endless demands and frustrations often leaves little room for personal happiness, let alone contentment.

Is there a way around it?

I have often felt the same way! But what's the solution?

Here, the challenge is more complex because deeply ingrained cultural norms often reinforce these expectations. However, as you said, maybe we can find a way without going down the same harmful path. Perhaps I can do something when it comes to my own situation—but beyond that, there's little I can change. I have to find a way to make things work within these constraints...

Thank you for reaching out and for the understanding. Means a lot really ❤️
