I understood this:
Every body wants to do "his own thing".
But what we are all doing is following the culture other people prearranged for us.
The music you listen, the movies you watch the genres you like everything is made before you, for you in order for someone to make money and it's now a part of an algorithm.
Since you were raised as a Christian you probably remember when the child Jesus stayed in the temple and his mother was searching for him in their company, among the others children.
But he wasn't there.
When his mother asked him, he essentially answered her: "why you think I am your cultural product?"
Of we can "divide" our selves I could say we are: 1/3 genome, 1/3 cultural product and the outcome of the behavior our parents passed to us, 1/3 our own decisions.
So, about this last 1/3 now π it's very easy for "it" to bow to a culture or to our intimate desires.
I came to understand that we can be truly free when we do not live a life coming from human culture a human ways. So only from the divine.
Of course Christianity, throughout the history got molded with ethnic cultures and regional traditions but this is what it is.
While I am far from saint π I believe that if there is a God, the best way we have to worship him is through Eastern Orthodox Church. It's clean from ideology and virtue signaling.
You can do and go where ever you want, you ll still follow a culture made by others trying to connect with people with the same culture.
The "I made it my own way" statement I think is an illusion.
I m sorry I said so many things π
