The Chair Carrier

I think that the man carrying the chair, carries it because it is the only living that he has come to know. He feels like it is his responsibility to handle and carry the chair until he is released from the job by someone of authority. It is strange that the chair has the sign that tells the chair carrier to take it to a safe place and sit upon it and that the man who has been carrying the chair for the whole time cannot read. The man carrying the chair reminds me of someone who is stubborn, stuck in their own ways, and who is unwilling to change. No matter how the crowd member tries to make the man see what damage the chair has done to him, or how easy it would be to just put down the chair and walk away from it forever, the chair carrier persists in his ways. Maybe the man feels that if he does not continue to carry the chair no one else will, kind of like an obligation. Lots of people in the real world feel obligated to do things that they dont enjoy, but they do them any way because they dont think that anyone else will do it.
