Everything is made up and most people forget to think about it. Gender roles are made up, our clothing and gender expression is made up, social rules/etiquette are made up. School is made up, grades are made up, the system is made up. The little tasks we do every single day are mostly repetitive: shower, go to school/work, chores, walk your dog, eat, sleep. Why does any this matter? In my opinion we're just making time here. We're just animals. Life is about keeping yourself busy until you die. Even the stuff that's 'exciting' and differs from your routine is still repetitive, when you get together with your friends what do you guys talk about? Same things, work, school, plans for the future, trivial shit, etc.
many aspects of our existence, from social roles to daily habits, are products of human invention. The sense of meaning or importance we attach to these things often comes from social conditioning rather than any inherent value. It's as if we're all participating in a play, following scripts that have been written long before we were born, without any real choice in the matter.
