PLACE (A Five-Minute Friday Post)

In the movie Hugo, the main character tells his new friend that the world is like a machine - that a machine is made of many parts, but only as many as are needed, and that there are no unnecessary parts, so everyone in the world has a purpose - a place.

Have you ever been told to stay in your place?  It doesn't have to be in words, but it can come from unexpressed expectations.  Do you have a place?  Who defined your place?  Was it you?  Your parents?  Your friends?  Society?

What IS your place?  Are you there, or do you still need to get there?
