This is the notion of Heidegger’s “thrownness”, which I love as a philosophy concept for how straightforward it is. We all have this feeling that we were “thrown into” the world without choice and have to make the best of the situation we’re born into.
I don’t think it’s just a feeling.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Throw your soldiers into position, and once there is no escape, they will fight

One of those rare occasions where title’s better than post .
This is why I unironically support free and easy access to assisted suicide for everyone. There would need to be a months-long vetting procedure with professionals, but part of freedom is being able to opt out
You get to be a duck if you commit suicide?
As my mum always said, you don’t know if you don’t try it
If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it is a duck.

I do not agree with your sentiment, but I will fight to defend your right to jump in the creek and eat duck weed all day.
Will you fight me for bread?
Once I saw a duck walking down the street so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at Subway that two pieces of bread weren’t allowed to touch. So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care, it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it’s free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway. It’s like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don’t worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck!

They’re terrible for us, don’t give us bread.
Can ducks eat burritos? It would be a shame if they can’t eat burritos.
Anything is better as the disgusting excuse for bread that subway serves.
THAT IS NOT BREAD. should be illegal in Europe…
Ima go with cat
meow too
I too want to be a drunk. I think it’s something I can accomplish.
Duck sir I said duck
Oh. Right. Well that’s more difficult. Maybe I’ll stay with drunk.
If you get drunk enough, you might think you’re a duck.
Pretty much sums up why Hinduism was created. As a bonus, while waiting to become a duck you can pick a cool God-buddy that is half animal.
Self awareness is human, you were well into you humanning when you wanted to be a duck.
Fighting words there
Time to invest in the quacksuit!
You don’t wanna be a duck.
At least not a female duck …
No, any duck. Males will try to do it with other males.
Dead males. They won’t feel a thing
A goth duck.
I’ll have you know I understood that reference.
Thank god somebody got it! I was dying out here.
I can’t seem to find it anymore, but wasn’t that meme just posted somewhere around here yesterday?
Right, it’s all so arbitrary.
How is a duck like a doctor? They can both shove their bills up their ass. (!) Sorry that’s a joke my dad used to say to his own doctor. Anyway -if you wanna be a duck , be a duck. But - be an educated duck and do the school thing anyway. I know that school isn’t fun and games and, most of life isn’t going to be fun and games.
But at least it does put you on a path toward a little better life, if you ask me. I wasn’t fond of school until about high school, when for some reason I really took off and got into it, went on to college, then after getting my BA I went back to college for four years because I loved it.
So school isn’t always a burden. It can be a very healthy thing if you approach it the right way.
