The lives of most people seem predetermined: birth, stamp of identity (race, nationality, gender), programming (how to behave), school, education, career, marriage, having children and increasingly struggling to raise them, divorce, toiling, entering obligations, fulfilling obligations, grappling with illnesses, advancing in a career (for prestige and ego), retirement, living a little longer, maintaining habits, dying. This is how simple and bleak a typical human life appears. People are occupied with mere survival. Earning money, considering the needs and feelings of others (family, friends, bosses, colleagues, banks, authorities, companies), increasingly adapting because the legal and moral framework keeps expanding, earning more money because it simply isn't enough for oneself.
