Mindless Conformism
People make decisions by weighing morals in their head, but what are morals? And what are decisions? People can think that are individual, that they are unique, but our society is structured to beat out any nonconformism. You can make a decision, but ultimately that decision will be based less on what you actually believe than what you want people to think you believe. If you were told that you had an entire day to do whatever you wanted, how many of you would do something because it would be frowned upon if you didn't? That's the POINT. People don't understand what is outside the realm of societal conformity. Even if you were the needle in the haystack that actually defied the rules in your time of freedom, there remains the fact that you are consciously defying rules, which are societal creations. The only way to truly be individual is to do what is best for yourself, and not a single person can even do that. The truth remains that we are all mindless servants to society, and whether society is good or bad, we still can't escape it even if we wanted to.
