Let’s talk education; I am referring to school and college perhaps even further education.
Why do we go to that school? The one our parents chose for us? Did we have a choice in the matter? Or was it something that happed to us?
What did we do when we are there? Did we go there to stand in a line?
Did we go there to learn how to care and what works for making those friends? Or did we learn how to be successful?
Is that where the foundations of bullies were laid? Is that were we perhaps become broken?
Did we learn how to add 2 and 2 and reach that the answer was 4? Or did we learn that the sky is the limit when you can paint that beautiful picture?
Did they encourage that passion or did they say stop now it’s time for history. Then History repeated itself?

We got ready to be plugged in to the system. Then exams came along and we had to prove to the system that we were worthy of it and had to fight for a place in that system?
So then college came along and we continued with that pattern.
Though some of us at least got to make that choice of a subject slighter closer to our heart than that passion. Or did we wise up and follow that passion? Did you chose the right subject or did you just go along with some one else’s definition of success? Did you get in to debt still being plugged In to this system? Why did you study? Who were you pleasing and for what?
What was the real reason? Was it to prove you were top of the chain when to came to giving those commands? Who’s commands were they and What did you achieve in your life? Did you have that happy home? Or did you feel tired after that’s days work? Were you welcomed with open arms when you got home? Or was your dinner in the oven, and your loved ones asleep? Were you relieved or had you missed them? Missed out on that small hand to greet you? Jump up with joy and that embrace?
Did you feel alone and feel like a victim? Did you ask yourself why am I doing this for? Or did you need that time alone and took that sight of relief and thought to yourself, I am finally home and enjoyed that peace after you had fed yourself?
