Because was once a perfectly valid reason for waking up, getting out of bed, eating your oatmeal, and doing what you had to do. You did the things that you had to do because you had to do them. That was your secret. Now you don't know anything. You are standing in line for something, and you have no idea why you are there, or anywhere. You know only that you sort of don't want to be there, but you can't think of anywhere else to be, really.

But maybe you are kidding yourself.
Maybe there really is a place where you would rather be.
You just try not to think about it. You have gotten it into your head that where you are is where you are going to have to stay, and you should just forget about the place you would rather be, because this is where you are.

Why don't you go to the place you would rather be?:
Because.
