Nothing

By detaching myself and trying to do nothing, I realized that everyone is always moving or talking or thinking. It was a hard thing to do. We have never been told not to do anything. There is always something expected of us. Some of us get bored if we aren't doing anything or are just not satisfied. We're so used to being busy, planning, and having deadlines that we never take the time to stop and smell the roses. We are taught that in order to be successful we must get and education then work work work! People work 40-80 hours a week and some have multiple jobs. We are so busy we don't make time to think about what really matters in our lives. We don't think about what shapes us as a person or why we are who we are. Most of us just race through life without having any meaning. Doing this experiment made me realize even more how much society affects each and every one of us. We have no control over it at all, not even our parents do. It's inevitable that we just adapt to the life around us. This relates to the "fish bowl theory." Fish don't know anything outside of water because they are surrounded. We are so surrounded and influenced by society that we don't even realize it, we don't see it.
