Lately i’ve gone back to thinking more about why we do things?
Why do we what we do?
why do we do?
Is it because of others?
Do we care so much about what others thing about what we do?
Do we do things because we want to prove things to others?
Do we do things because we want to be as impressive as others?
Do we do things to not be left behind (simply because we’ve seen others ‘excel’)?
Or is it for more self-serving reasons (not to say the reasons above aren’t self-serving in a way)?
Do we do things because we want to reach our potential?
Do we do things out of the fear of not reaching our potential?
Do we do things because we feel like we need to accomplish something in society?
Or, do we just do as a way to continue existing? Either to remind the world and ourselves we’re still alive, still here. Or maybe we do because it’s part of our routine. It’s engrained in us.
There are some who do things because they want to help the world. There are others who do because they want to help themselves. Whatever the reason, do we ever think much about it? Do we ever truly know? Do we ever rationalise lies to ourselves to avoid the truth?
Why do we do…?
