Hounded by the World

To be hounded by the world is to be burdened with the necessities of social norms and conformity. We as humans seek to group together and therefore to fit in and not stand out we tend to conform. It is expected that we conform to these norms and humans do not wish to stand out. Society nags at us to conform. In high school, we conform in our little cliques and what not as well as the rules, and everything. These are the rules that we constantly conform to and basically adhere to. No one tells us we must - but society nags at us. And in order to remove this unpleasant stimulus in the broader picture we listen to these nags and give in. The world hounds at us constantly with these social expectations, these chains of conformity - and we give in constantly.
