Why…?
Why do they say we have to adapt to the world we live in? Especially when we dislike it…
Why adapt to something that seems bad? Why go against your ideas and ideals (or lie to the ones around you so they’ll believe that) just to be “like everybody else”? Why can’t you be completely different? And I don’t mean the small differences that make each of us unique, but important things.
As I said some 3 weeks ago, why should you live during the day? If you want to live at night and do everything at night, why can’t you have that option? Or why plan your relationships according to where you have to go for school (college) and work, instead of doing the other way around? Why study intensively at school subjects that you don’t need and that, aside from a few general notions, you’ll never need instead of studying starting in “small” grades (before high school, or even in high school) certain specialized subjects that you know you’ll need? In fact, why is school mandatory and why do your results there influence your chances of employment, since they say nothing about your real abilities? Why should you be married to be officially recognized as a couple, even though you perhaps love each other and have more obvious intentions of staying together than most married couples? Why must you fight for your life if you’d rather die? Why must you have children to be “fulfilled” if you know you’d be worse off having them? Why is it “normal” to have less sex after you get past the beginning of a relationship, if you still feel the same attraction towards your partner?
Why… I don’t know, many things. Can anyone tell me?
Why… Why can’t you look someone in the eyes, or sit on your ass in the middle of the street, and say clearly and slowly “I’m not like that, I don’t live by your rules, and as long as I don’t force you to live like I do, you shouldn’t force me to live like you do”, why?
