So I ask myself, "why do I walk in a straight line?" Not metaphorically, literally. I mean, I'm conditioned to do it; there are simple explanations for it, but none which led to a proper objective.
This is the most obvious - I walk in a straight line because it is the shortest distance between two points, I take this route to save time, so I can do more with the time I've saved. On my way home from office? On my evening walk? What's the hurry?
I save time so I can spend it on other activities. Are other activities always more important?
Spending time on other constructive activities will make me a better person. Absolutely sure?
I can earn more if I'm efficient and do things on time/before time. Sure, money matters. So I'll walk in a straight line when I'm on my way to a business meeting.
Bottom line is - I think I'm being conditioned to behave in a specific manner, and I don't know why. Why do I walk in a straight line when I'm out for a brisk walk to get some air? Do I have to jog in a straight line when I want to burn some calories?
Philosophical questions?
