SM is a place that isn't too far and it sounds really nice right now. Is it wrong to make a right choice that might be bad for someone else? Is there good in that choice? Like what is the difference between good vs bad and right vs wrong? I suppose one just goes with what they feel is right no matter if it is good or bad; that's how i feel anyway. Pain and suffering may come with the right choice which may be a good or bad thing, but think about how much pain would accompany the wrong choice. You know how they taught us all that math, english, computer skills, science, physical skills, history, perhaps culinary skills, and how to write a five paragraph essay? I think that should only be HALF of what you learn in grade school. The fucking educators should be educating us on how to handle real life situations, good and bad. Sure, that may be up to the parents to decide, but what if the parents just don't do that? Where is the last line of defense? Instead of teaching middle schoolers/high schoolers how to put on a condom or use contraception, the appropriate thing to do would be to connect with kids at a younger age and guide them in terms of making the right choices that are the best possible. That may sound like military logic, but a different way of teaching this is very possible. I am in no way blaming my educators or my parents for the choices (good and bad) I make, but I think it's an idea worth exploring. Yes, learn from experience so that you can make better choices in the future. I just wish there was a way to pre-emptively avoid the shit choices I have had to make. The painful ones. I miss the age of innocence; at Disneyland i handed out candy to thousands of kids and i just felt the pure joy of seeing their faces light up after being called "princess" or "tink" or "woody" or "buzz". I was very moved by a particular little girl who i said "Happy Halloween Tink!" to; she paused and then looked up and smiled at me as if i was the first person to actually realize she was tinkerbell. Pure joy i tell you. The balance of joy and pain is no walk in the local regional park. Being a Libra, I hope to balance them perfectly one day. So for now, strength and honor, and head up for Tomorrow could be the best day of your life.
