So did you ever think that the way we live in our everyday lives has been thoroughly thought out and planned? Machines is where im getting at. School. Home. Sunrise. Sunset. it has been a routine since the second we were born. wake up. work all day. play. go to sleep. and repeat it the next time the pink sunrise overcomes the thick black skies. it has all been planned out perfectly so no matter how "unique" and "individual" we all want to be, the higher power always takes over. This conversation came up in English today, and i, as usual, sat back in my own little world and listened to everyone's opinion on this controlled society that we live in day in and day out, even though some were completely off topic and pointless. I then thought to myself that it is true. we are machines. controled by some leader, if its our teachers or principle, officers of the law, or the beautiful, or not so beautiful mother nature. School was the perfect example. everyone rushing into classes around 7:30 am. give or take a couple of seconds, a minute at tops. We all stand together, say the pledge together, as if we were mesmorized and forced to say this "apostle's creed" of our country every morning. Bell rings for the next class. we all roam and enter our class in 1 minutes or less. Lunch bell rings. We all sworm like little ants who's pile has just been kicked by a human's shoe. Throughout the day, examples keep telling me this awful topic that i have never really sat down to think about, is true. May we never be unique or different. Sure we are in our minds, but on the outside. Will we always have to follow the rules of society, the rules of life?
