Why Do We do It?

Tweet

Does anyone know why we do it? No one seems to really know why, Or even question the reason. There is no voice of subtle enquiry, Not even one lone bewildered cry, “Why do we do it?” How weird! It’s like everyone knows exactly why we do it And the reason is so obvious It doesn’t need mentioning. But then, maybe it’s too silly to acknowledge, Or too embarrassing or shameful. Is that the reason for the silence? It seems we just do it because everyone else does it. There’s safety in numbers it seems. It is like society has been brainwashed. Perhaps we are actually afraid of not doing it And appearing different or alone. Seen as a rebel! Heaven forbid. We are probably scared of change And of doing things differently. But, if that’s the case we’ll never advance. Just because it has always been done doesn’t make it right. Stop! Please! Somebody tell me … WHY DO WE DO IT??
