A life spent in mindless labor, trivial pursuits, and the fulfillment of base desires is not only boring, plain and normal- it is not one that is even worth living.
By living this way, you are one of billions of people on this planet living essentially the exact same life, with only minor discrepancies between the two. You are only serving as the tiniest, most insignificant piece in a machine larger than your imagining, and when your light goes out, you are infinitely replaceable and no one will notice your passing. ~ Paul Waggener
