We are living our life in auto mode. Our life is dictated by others. We have a government to tell us how we should live, what we should eat, and how much taxes we pay.
Similarly, our parents have a major influence on us starting from what we should study to whom we should marry.
The web of others defining our lives is so deep that some just end up living like a robot.
A few take life into their hands, and society or government starts calling them misfits.
