a thought straight from my head
the world is a very immature place
"and he breaks the rules...and then gets an award...no repercussions...we need consequences....i follow the rules but i didnt get the reward...and so usually he ends up swearing..." and all this time im thinking: that sounds jsut like me...in 7th grade...or wait who are we talkign about...this guy or my little brother? i guess the only interaction i get with adults in the workplace is in stores where the customer is always right and at school where the teacher is always right. theres a certain amount of respect in these relationships and i suppose i always assumes thats how it always was. we learn to respect our teachers and then as we grow we learn to respect each other. its a lifelong lesson but i guess id always assumed it was mostly mastered by the time you were 40 or so. little did i know that grown men can get into catfights as easily as 12 year old girls. its kind of a strange thought. i mean is that why theres so much violence? you call me stupid and i hit you and you hit me turns into i say this and you blow me up? i mean does arguing really help anything? does it? i think it takes our mind off the problem, becasue we dont know how to fix the problem so we argue and then we fix the argument with those two crucial words "im sorry" and by then we've forgotten the problem. its kinda strange...but it seems to work...and yet it really jsut pulls us back into the cycle...therefore i think the world needs to grow up...we need to find ways to solve our problems and not just end our arguments...
sooo jsut so no one thinks im out of my mind i thought id explain that sorta after the fact...i was in the car with my dad coming home from dance and he goes "tomorrow should be fun..." and i ask the ever dangerous question "why?" which launches him into a lecture taking from the dance parking lot to my driveway about a meeting and a guy who doesnt like him who he always argues with at this one meeting cuz this guy breaks rules and messes things up and then gets rewards apparently and my dad was mad at him. anyways since it was a slightly long car ride i began to tune him out but then i decided to lsiten and while i was listening i found it highly ironic...like the boys in lord of the flies who view "the majesty of adult life" at the time when the "adults" were all at war...thus the above was going through my head and i thought it was highly interesting
and now its time for orange juice and math hw...i hope we have a 2 hour delay tomorrow
