Life is like an orange jar...

I figured that it was around about time that I actually explained my little statement;
"Basically, life is a jar of oranges; And we all need to question.. Is that what it's supposed to be like?"

Ofcourse, at first glance it seems like something relatively ridiculous to say. Because plainly obviously, life isn't an ACTUAL jar of oranges. That would be impossible. There's no way of explaining a statement like that!
But if life were to metaphorically be a jar of oranges it makes more sense.
I personally, would say that a jar of oranges isn't incredibly spectacular.
Just some fruit in a jar, right?
But thats where it starts, isn't it? Its a jar, not a bowl. In a bowl anyone can reach in and take a piece! With a jar there is a lid which holds all the oranges inside. It keeps them all stuck in there, and there is no way that they alone can escape. The only person able to free them would be the person who owns the jar...

This is like how humans are all brainwashed into thinking and doing the same things. I mean come on guys! In the words of Jack Black, STICK IT TO THE MAN!
Everyone in the world is just like an orange stuck in the jar of life! We are all sitting in there blissfully unaware that we are trapped. We are STUCK in this .. this.... this mindset, that we all have to be exactly the same. We have to look alike, talk alike, dress alike, think alike even! For fcks sake!

Occasionally there will be an apple or a passion fruit in that jar and it will throw the entire thing off balance, those fruit are screaming for the other oranges to join them! Screaming for the oranges to come out of their silly little imaginarily perfect lives, and join them on the quest to saving the world from becoming conformists like the jar wants them to be!
All the pineapples out there! The lemons, the watermelons, the mangos! If there is ANY bananas or pears! Grapes or coconuts! Cherries or kiwifruit! Plums, apricots, nectarines! Even mandarins or grapefruits!
Reach out for each other and help break the jar! We need to break free from the glass walls that are holding us back from individuality and live life like its meant to be!
