@KNOWITALL I think @ragingloli is being serious.
Think about it. Why is animals and human’s survival instinct so strong? Why do male animals fight so hard for females or have prominent features just for mating dance? Why do some animals die right after they mate or give birth? Why is sex so appealing to human, to the point of having the potential of ruining life?
Calling it gross as you want, but they all serve one purpose: to ensure the production of the offspring. It’s the default goal of all life.
But this is also where human starts to stray away from animals. Human still has that primal urge to produce offspring, but he has the ability to choose what to do with it. He can let that urge turn him into an animal, or he can choose to ignore it and focus on things more meaningful to him, or he can incorporate it into making things better for everyone (like impressing a girl by turning himself into the best person he can be).
Like a computer software, life has its default settings. It doesn’t mean you have to go with it. You can change the settings to fit your preference.
And OP, you can enjoy life all the ways you want, but if you want to achieve greatness, routine is the way to go! Every creator of new things stick to a strict routine when they make their creation because motivation isn’t enough to keep their projects going. And that’s why we have all the things of the modern world.
