LIFE

Lesson #1, learning how to be a functional part of a dictatorial regime and

a dysfunctional part of a democracy.

 

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with negativity (Thou shalt nots and the pain that accompanies them), the universe is based on it and one has to learn to deal with it, the earlier the better, schools are great for that. The problem with education in this and any age for any age is when the educator is unaware that the dictatorship they administer is only part of life, the part that every social being must deliver to society in order that society can deliver social structure and the security that goes with it while the other part, the non-social part, the alienated part of the self, the part alone, the philosophical part, this part is admonished as inferior.

The self-alone is not inferior and a society that crushes it crushes itself.

 

Lesson #2, learning how to be a good soldier and a poor scout.
