does anyone actually know?

Do you even know why you exist?

I'm not referring to your parents creating you or God.

I'm actually asking why you are here. What is your purpose?

We get sucked into a societal life.

Education, career, family, death.

That can't be your purpose.

We have been trapped in this sheep game, and it's impossible to break out,

That's what they want you to think.

It should be a crime to be stuck in a sheep game,

If it were a crime, then there would be no sheep to do the dirty work.

Shouldn't we choose if we want to play or not?

Without a forced choice.

The consequence of not playing is having a pain-in-the-ass time during anything.

The consequence of playing, I think, is far worse because your life is not your own.

Why can't we live how we want without authority having their hands in the way?
