Dear Earthlings, you non-Asgardians, you wannabes,
First off. I forgive you. I forgive all of you.
Why? Because your mindlessness is your own accidental fault. It just is. And I forgive and love you for that. I forgive you. I do. (The Gods are not unkind.)
You've all driven yourselves mad in that creation called "society." You abide by its' laws. You compare yourselves to others that are part of it. You don't stop and think of what could be different, because you just cannot imagine it being different. You are blinded by its unseen forces acting on your own choices. You don't stop and question. You go and continue as if changing this so called "society" is not your responsibility. You go on as if there is nothing wrong with it. You don't stop and question, you continue without argument. You continue without seeing. You continue because society has already taken so much from you: your time, your happiness, the act of living as a human, slowly but truly - eating your motivations, your own ideas, your real opinions of anything just to fit in, and essentially, your life.
Now let me give you some more to think about.
Why is everyone fighting for the top GPA?
What is standardized testing? And because everyone is unique in their own ways of learning and receiving information, why is testing standardized? Should it not be a test for uniqueness? By having it a standardized test, is the education system not assuming that students all learn the same and un-unique?
If Finland is only giving its students 30 minutes of homework a night and stands as one of the top 3 countries in the world in scores, then why is the United States, with its 2-3 hours of homework a night standing as number 28 in the world in terms of scores and education? Is it more than just the amount of homework a night that is causing this disparity? Is it the educational system? The standardized testing? The fact that the salaries of teachers in America is very little compared to Finland's? Or the fact that those in charge of this educational system know this yet are adamant in change?
I stop here.
Because this sickens me. It just does. But something can be done about this. And I'm not only speaking just about the poor education system here in America, I'm also talking about change everywhere and anywhere else that requires change to move towards the greater good, the more fitting, and overall improvement. Who doesn't want that? But do not, and I repeat, do not let the fear of obstacles in your way as you move to change discourage you. Do not let those obstacles stop you. These obstacles can range from people of the opposite opinion to a rainy day. Don't let it stop you.
Did Harriet Tubman stop? Did Abraham stop? Did Mr. Luther stop? Did Hamilton stop?
Did you stop? Or have you never began?
What do you want to change? What are you angry about? Let those questions seep and I wish you best of luck to you future changers, you thinkers, you people who actually stop and question, unafraid to ask why and explore and invent and challenge and fight and change society as we know it.
