We should be responsible

Too many people blame circumstances or situations for their own failures. However, the truth of the matter is that although circumstances beyond our control surround us, we have 100% control over the choices we make.

Usually what influences us the most is the people we are closest to. Often without noticing, we tend to be uplifted when these people have a clear purpose in their life, and downtrodden when they do not. But even if everyone around us acts like life is a gimmick, it doesn't mean necessarily that in fact life is a gimmick and that circumstance doesn't justify our own deviation from living a purposeful life.

We should constantly reflect on the choices we make in response to the various circumstances we face every day. Are we being responsible in our decisions or are we letting our surroundings dominate us? This is significant because this mindset is what will ultimately determine our fate.
