Or a wheel in a cock… well, whatever.
Excuse my French, lil tipsy right now.
Anyway.
This post is not intended to be funny. It is intended to think about the one thing most of us hope to avoid, yet are stuck into. Namely, being a cog in a wheel. Being trapped in the system we know (and call) life.
We know instinctively it doesn’t have to be this way, however fail to find our way out. Instead of living life on our terms, making the decisions we want to make, and experience life to its fullest… we’re used to give up on our dreams.
Letting our dreams and goals go is what makes life boring and meaningless.
And, even worse, becoming a cog in a wheel—predictable, indifferent, replaceable.
Don’t believe me?
You don’t have to :)
Just do a quick Google Search.
Here’s the first search result: “a small or insignificant member of a larger organization or system.”
To me, it’s still madness how certain people aim that low! They want more money, more recognition, more [insert positive end result]… and yet they aren’t willing to give much in return. They only put as little work in as possible, they use their lunch break to the utmost extend, they… Ok stop me. I go on a rant otherwise. Already done.
Where to go from here?
Know that living life the way you fucking want to is hard. Actually good news! Coz if it were easy, everyone would be king. Right?
Of course.
