Robotic Lives
Robots, they're these mechanical figures made to do some things we can and some things we can't. That's your first thought of robots right? If you look and think deeply for a second, you're almost a robot yourself. Maybe you are. Maybe you aren't. Let's see.
I, myself may be a robot. Walking through the campus, I pass the same people every single day. It gets so boring that I decide to take different routes to get to my next class or just sit a time longer in class and stall. I walk into the restroom; it is always the same girls doing the same thing, putting on makeup or fixing their hair. Walking into my classes, they're almost always the same everyday, each day is set to do this, this, and this. Wouldn't class be so much more interesting if my teachers changed up their hairdo or switch the seats around so we're looking at each other in a different perspective. At lunch, there are the same club meetings that I go to. I try to switch the food I eat this day and the next, changing things up a bit. But there's this voice telling me that life is more easier if I just get the same food each day, it's too much of a bother to go into this line one day and the other the next.Our daily habits, doing the things we're used to at certain times and on certain days cause it to become like mechanical robots, just programmed to do certain things at certain times.
Are you thinking whether are not you're a robot yet? Perhaps you are, perhaps you aren't. Do something wild for a change, like sky-diving or jumping off a cliff (where you know for sure you won't meet some waiting hidden rocks below). Get out of this robotic life, programmed to eat, work, and sleep, like those three things are the only things you will ever have time for. Incorporate something different into your lives, and surely all that stress or boredom will go away.
