life or something like that

funny isnt it. an acquaintance remarked that we as individuals are inconsequential. we live and we die. the world still goes on. life still carries on. maybe people will stop for a moment and take the time to mourn and remember the person. but only for a moment. after that, time passes and everything resumes back to its daily routine.

so why do the things the majority deem important?

why get a degree? why aim for a safe and comfortable paying job?

why stick with majority? why not state and stand for your own views?

why do this? why do that?
