I feel cheated. Plain and Simple. The fact that We, as a whole, our entire culture is based around schooling. Being taught by people who don't want to be here. Who don't get paid enough and don't get any recognition for what they do. Teachers. They're treated as people who are replaceable. The same people who shape us from very, very young ages all the way up to adulthood. Molding and providing framework that our brains form around. They don't care. Sure, some do. There are some really great people out there who study with a passion. A passion to help others on their journey to enlightenment and expanding the minds of the young. Helping them to see and to hear and to experience things with a questioning disposition. But then there are the fed up, the tired, the angry, the mentally strained, who enter classrooms with a mindset that just isn't compatible with what we, as young people, need to nourish our minds and souls. They don't think about how our forming psyches can be affected by people who are unpleasant, people who are doing what they're doing just to get by. No second thought of how their teachings, and their way of going about it is affecting us as whole, as a society and a culture. Planting seeds of dislike and of hesitation when they should be preparing us for the wonders and the joy and the expansiveness that awaits us on this organic, floating ball of water and of Earth. Hurtling through space and time with no breaks and with no real comprehension of what is actually occurring around us.
