If Humans were Robots

How I wish I were a robot! Except that I still want to keep my human brain. The biggest goal in my life is to excel academically. But, I'm afraid, due to various factors, I have yet to achieve the ideal results I desire. Well, I used to attribute this to the insufficient 24 hours in a day, hoping that, someday, it would somehow turn out to have 48 hours a day. Of course, I realised that it would never happen. As time elapsed, however, this idea suddenly crossed my mind that it might help if I have become a robot. There are so many things that a robot doesn't have to do but a human does.

First of all, daily routines, things that a human must do everyday in order to sustain life - eat, sleep, shower, etc. I would say these kinds of things are rather time-consuming. What bugs me is that if a human doesn't eat or sleep enough, he would probably not function as normally. So, if I ever were a robot, I wouldn't even have to think about them and I could make full use of that time to study.

Secondly, that little thing that has a huge effect on a human's performance - feeling. Of course, there are many sorts of feelings and not all are bad. But, somehow, good feelings would not stay for long while bad feelings tend to linger within, making you feel crappier than ever. Say, if the feeling of affection for another person exists, then you would tend to think of that person most of the time, which is the dumbest idea ever because you might not even cross that person's mind at all. But what sucks the most is that you can't control it. I would say, if humans didn't have any feelings, then there would be one less distraction.

Thirdly, temptations of all kinds exists in the world. It might be to hang out with mates or watch a movie or whatever. The closest temptation would be the internet. More often than not, when I surf the net for assignments, I end up chatting on msn and wasted a whole night's time that I can use for studying. Damn it!

These temptations are just distracting me from what I should be doing. See, if humans were robots, or at least partially as in appearance plus the brain, these things wouldn't occur to them and they can just concentrate on achieving their goals. But, of course, I am aware that if humans have become robots, everything else would not be the same anymore. Perhaps, challenges wouldn't be challenges anymore and life may turn out to be less thrilling. As things have always been, there are many aspects to one matter. Who knows if there could be some aspects that make being a robot the worst nightmare? (Shrug)
