Responsible

So you never asked to be born. So inertia and a worrying mother pushed you to grow up and become one of those.

One of Them. An adult. An independent full-grown human being in charge of their own actions. Having no-one to rely on except yourself. Do not panic.

This is not that different from all your unasked time on this life. You spent your younger years learning a bunch of tricks so One of Them can deem you worthy enough to get a spot into a special Training Box. A few years after that you came out of that Box, with a shiny piece of paper stating your value as a human being so far goes up to here. You might even get a number to go with that.

Once you are out of the Special Training Box, you are suddenly One of Them. With no more training than that, you will be told you need to argue your value, based on the number -or not- that you were awarded on your Special Training Box.

Now. Focus. All of your unrequested time on this Earth has been leading to this Step. The rest of your unsolicited existence will depend on your ability to talk another One of Them into giving you another Number. Remember now, this Number is the single most important number you will obsess with for as long as you draw breath. Not only for Survival, but for Love and, most important of all, Things.

This is the Number you will get every few days in exchange for coming into a certain place, almost every day, and -this is important now-, staying inside performing a series of nerve-wrecking tasks, on which you will constantly be judged.

You might want to find yourself a Box that asks you to do enjoyable tasks in exchange for this Most Important Number. If you are lucky, you can trick One of Them into thinking you will help them make a larger Number for themselves and will so let you join their Box, and set to do that more enjoyable set of tasks.

Most probably, even if you get into that Box, any set of tasks you expected to be more enjoyable will end up not being so. At this point, Things, Survival and, if you are really lucky, Love, will make it so you feel obligated to keep coming into this Box almost every day.

For if you stop performing your assigned tasks, or doing so to the liking of the bigger One of Them directly behind you, or, even worse, decide you would really like to just stop coming to the Box every morning..., you stand to lose having Things, you risk kissing goodbye the Love you found and earned. You may even fear for your Survival.

So nobody asked you if you wanted to come into this world. So nobody handed you an instruction manual for your life.

You do have a choice. So choose:
If you are inexplicably feeling somewhat cheerful after reading this Life Recap, I believe OPTION A would be best for you.
Otherwise, kindly follow me to OPTION B.

--------------------------------------------------------

OPTION A/ When All of Them asks you, and, believe me, they will, whether you want to bring another Soul that never asked a thing into this life, you can tell them: "I would never do that to another Human Being".

OPTION B/ The only single real one you ever had: take a leap. You are free to climb up to the top of your Box and jump into Freedom.
