What have I done for mankind today?

The weather really sucks today, which makes me not feel like going outside. It could of course also have something to do with the countless wines and beers from last night, but that just feels a bit cliché to say. So if someone would ask me why I'm sitting around in my room the whole day with unbrushed hair and sweat pants, I would blame it on the weather.

It became quite obvious after being awake a couple of hours that I will not do anything today. I don't know why really, but I always feel bad about doing nothing. Maybe it's because when I grew up, my grandfather would always ask me (as a joke of course) what I've done for mankind today. Then I had to list what I'd done and try to draw connections to how my actions might have helped mankind. For example: I went to school = I'm getting an education so I can get a good job and thus contribute to society in the future. Now when I think about it, it doesn't seem quite normal for a kid to spend time on things like that. But hey, I turned out alright in the end, I think.
