While I can completely appreciate where you are coming from with this, I just can help feeling that it sounds extremely condescending.
What does it mean when you suggest that, "Some people spend their lives as part of the machine never realizing they're nothing more than a cog?" What would you suggest is better than being a "cog" and what form would this take in daily life?
