“How to get a chicken out of a bottle”

My friend was taking this class. i forgot what class its called, but they were talking about this. Her teacher gave them the whole year to figure this out. To find the answer your suppose to be very open minded and her teacher said the answer doesnt really have much to do with the chicken. haha, so it made me think. a lot.

There actually a story that goes with this: A farmer got a chicken egg and placed it into a bottle. it grew full size and he wants to get the chicken out without hurting it.

Well i guess that you have to imagine yourself as the chicken, and the bottle is the society/government/media/etc. They are making you think that you have to live your life a certain way. (grow up, be smart, make money, have kids, raise them, then die) and you feel like youre in that “bottle”. You can get yourself out whenever you want to but you dont try. you just live your life like that because everyone els is. you are not living your own life, your living someone els’s. [that sounds really confusing haha] but for example; There are two people in the world, they do the exact same thing. [grow up, fall in love, etc.] even though they’re not the same person. (does that make sense?) They might, um, listen to music. Maybe one likes Rock and the other one like idk… pop. But that doesnt matter, they are still listening to music right? they are living the exact same life. So there is a “cycle” going on and that cycle is also the bottle. You should live life the way you want to, not the way someone els is living. If you want to live it how everyone els is living then, go ahead and stay in the bottle. or you could go out of that “bottle” and live life the way you want to. You only get to live life once so live it how you want to live it.

My Answer: there is no bottle.
