From birth, the word success is assigned to us like a serial number.
School systems, media channels, and family structures collaborate in the same script — the script that defines success as stability, productivity, and obedience to measurable goals.
A “successful life” is the most efficient form of control.
It keeps the subject busy, validated, and predictable.
The illusion of personal achievement replaces the need for personal discovery.
True freedom would mean defining success without permission -
but that would collapse the system built on comparison, debt, and validation.
So, the population is trained to equate order with worth.
Routine becomes religion.
Exhaustion becomes evidence of meaning.
And the dream of “success” becomes the illusion everyone is chasing.
