School...it is, in nearly all of its forms, a parallel to Earth itself. It is mostly evil. there is hardship, stress, strife, and stupid people. But there are those few places (Creative Writing and French Class) that keep you entertained and happy. That was a comparison to the United States by the way. CW and French were, that is. Your time at school is limited where you work the majority of the time and have fun very little. Such is your time on Earth. Work more than play. School revolves around one thing....a diploma. A diploma is cylindrical as is the north pole which is the axis upon which the earth spins. Are you seeing any connections here? let us go further as to say that at school you learn, and your main purpose for attending is to learn. Your main goal in life is also to learn. If you're absent from school, you make up your work. If you're not participating in your life, you also end up behind and must make up for it. It seems as though school is life and life is school. This is all merely my philosophical insight, but it all occurred to me today. I find it ironic that school is used to prepare you for the real world. The real world is, initially, the same as school. So what does the real world prepare you for? It has to prepare you for something. perhaps there is a step beyond death that we must take, and in order to take such a move, we must first have preparation. It's all skepticism on my part. I have a mind that thinks like this constantly, I felt the need to bring it out in this update. By the way, today was the first day I had to volunteer for my Sister's handicapped Tee-ball team. That's always pretty enjoyable. Great times there at Yellowbranch every Tuesday and Thursday. I work this Thursday, though. Oh well. Anyway, think about my school-earth philosophy and leave me your opinions. Have a great one!
