Why?

We wake up each day, and begin facing our problems anew, be it yesterday's burden or today's woe. Do you see yourself in the mirror when you head into the bathroom to brush up? Really see, not just look, the person with looking back at you; messy hair, puffy eyes and the generally groggy look on your face. You look and you'd try to straighten up, splashing cold water onto your face, to see clearly. Why? What is it that you expect to see, looking back at you?

But perhaps, you barely even have time to squeeze toothpaste for brushing, much less admire your reflection in the mirror; rushing to work, late for classes, and all the reasons in the world which gave us a sense of urgency when in reality, there is none at all. Ask yourself - are you really that excited to get to work/class or whatever routine that which occupies your everyday lives? We'd walk hurriedly all the time, spending a gross amount of time commuting, not sparing a glance at everyone else and just trying to reach where we want. There is little to no regard at all to any living person around us, its as if we're living in a post-apocalyptic world filled with nothing but zombies, dronebies if you will.

None of us realize that it is entrapment, meant to ensnare each and everyone of us for the rest of our lives. Much like the worker bee whose entire life cycle revolve around serving the colony and nothing more. In our case, we think that who we serve is ourselves, at least we like to think so. Make no mistake, we are all servants because as Loki says, we all yearn subjugation. We serve willingly, whether if we're aware of it or not; boss at work, teachers giving out assignments, etc. From the moment we start our lives, the brainwashing began, perpetual and it would seem to me now, highly effective; we have to work for a livelihood, otherwise we'd be living on the streets, eating off scraps and basically just being dirty.

I'm not saying that we should all stop studying and working because that would cause any semblance of a working society that we have today to collapse. And anything that collapses has to be a bad thing, unless you're playing Jenga or something. I'm merely posing the question of why?
