What are we doing on Earth? Part 1


What are we doing on Earth?

This question never fail to amaze me. Do anyone really have the same answer to this question?

The minute we were first born(or maybe to be a bit more "precise"{subjective} - fetus was formed) , the human body "system" and "clock" starts "ticking".

The Earth spins in a repetitive circle around the Sun everyday, but we do not develop or act in a repetitive manner.

We are born and "slotted" into different social institutions.

My first (clear) encounter with social institution was (primary) school.
-I was registered into a school (by my parents) when I was 6. (I'm skipping the kindergarten part here)
-I woke up at 6.30am to attend school.
-I wore uniform to school.
-I studied what was required.

Did I have a choice here?
I am "learning" what the people in my society want me to.
"They" want me to learn to fit in to the place that they "created" {subjective}

Because I was "young and naive", I obediently followed.

I was doing (on Earth) what people (who are they?) wanted me to do.

I was young.
