Why do we let people push us around?
Why do they make our decisions for us?
Why don't we stand up for ourselves?

Because we're human.

We don't want to accept that we are wrong, or that someone knows something we don't. We refuse to believe that there is something outside of our little bubble. We're content to stay ignorant, obnoxious, and alone, just for the sake of winning. We have to be the champions. No one is better than us. We are number one.

Why though? Why does it matter? Will we look back 35 years from now and say "That man in the blue shirt and dirty jeans beat me to the checkout line on October 16, 2007." Hopefully not.

Isn't that the point though? We're so obsessed with "high speed" and doing as much as possible and getting 25 hours of work done in 24. Wouldn't we be happier if we took a minute and thought about what was happening outside of our comfort zone? Or if we took the plunge and stepped outside?

I would be. Why be afraid of life? Be friends with it.
