A concept follows specific rules and limitations, with clearly defined relationships between other concepts. Life as a concept then, is a life that exist as a thought or collection of thoughts, with clearly defined, almost immutable — objects, descriptions, and functions.
Life as a social concept means:
Life as a concept is an intricate web composed of ten thousand "shoulds" and "needs", each depending on another concept. To live a conceptual life means following everything in "proper order", without any form of deviation. Following this conceptual model of continued existence not only aligns with the rational majority but also scratches most forms of uncertainty, making one feel safe and comfortable.
Is life just a concept to you? Is it just a passing thought? Is there no other way to live but to obediently fall in line?
Is it impossible to be happy without being free? Is there no other way to be free than to buy freedom with money? Is there no other way to earn money than to get a job? Can only those who graduated in school get a job? Is school the only place you can learn?
Just because one's feet, arms, and mouth are tied with chains, doesn't mean one's mind should be tied as well. Just because everyone wears a weird that, doesn't mean it is normal. My child, you cannot think like them. There are other places to socialize than inside the prison, do not go there just because you are lonely.
Society does not exist outside, it exists in everyone's mind. When everyone thinks and imagines the same thing, that thing is no different from reality. Keep in mind, their reality is not your reality unless you think the same as them. It is not the majority that dictates your thoughts and life, it is you and your decisions.
Look at all these chains they wear. Do you fear that they'll get you for not wearing their chains? Fear not, these chained souls can't do anything than to fall in line and bark at each other. Rather, fear those who cannot be tied down by anything, those who would walk to the ends of the earth just to get what they want.
If you look closely, none of these people are really chained. They are wearing those chains just to fit in and appear human. Just as how society easily convinced them to chain themselves, you can easily convince them to unchain themselves. However, some chains are somewhat necessary, do not be surprised if there are some people who would not fully unchain themselves, always leaving a few behind.
No, no, no. That's not it my child. You cannot go into prison just to get some food to eat and place to sleep. You need not to fall in line just to get what you want. You need not bow to someone just to be happy. Do not forget that life is not a concept, it is a precious gift for you. It is not a maze for you to carefully navigate but something for you to play and enjoy.
