Why does humanity
     insist on living
    stuck,
    isolated,
    petrified?
Living without moving,
Living without growing; how
   can we live like that? Never learning
          beyond
   what we know?
      Fear,
      fear of change leaves us
      set
     in our ways. Reliving .
  How can we truly
   live
    if we dare not think something greater?
Set in our ways,
we cannot be creative,
we cannot be free.
    In order to live greatly,
    in order to live beautifully,
  you must
     allow yourself to think
           outside
     the box.
    In order to live happily,
    in order to live abundantly
  you must
     be willing to think
       something new.
   Having one thought,
                one opinion,
      you can do nothing with what you have.
  The only important thing is your
             mind,
   yet we choose not to expand it.
WHY do we have to block ourselves, close off ideas?
Because humanity is
comfortable,
set in its ways,
a perfect indention,
daring to have no contradiction.
   Our souls are stake, but we are still
set in our ways.
       No one can be
  free, not when people never dare to
  free
   them.
     Because we,
     are still
set in our ways.
   Life never gets better.
      Because no one dares to
  try.
  Try to make things better,
   no
  of course not. We
    prefer what we know,
               what we have always known.
  And for what?
                           Why?
Set in our ways, we stay. A uniform system, a perfect indention. Set.
