It's in our educational system too. Studying is supposed to equip you for life, it's not supposed to be the point of life. I know it's a difficult world, I know my country isn't the greatest at generating employment, I know it's all about climbing over someone else because otherwise others surge forward and you're left to struggle, I've heard 'rat-race' and 'cutthroat competition' enough times for it to sink in, thank you. I just wonder sometimes if everyone's not slightly paranoid.
Also I know that the things I want to do with my life and career do not involve standing on others' shoulders while crushing them down. They'll say I'm too immature to decide.

Sadly that's the world we face, society is forced upon on and we have to find a way to live with. You can't rebel without making a new society of some sort, unless you decide to live off the satellite but then your living a primitive life and if caught you will be labeled as crazy, arrested, and charged on multiple accounts.

But hey this is coming from the same species that has started a war over a stolen bucket, decided to declare war on Poseidon and stab the ocean with swords and arrows... For 3 days. Have people ideally think their religion is the true religion and kills everyone for believing differently, and down right stupidity in nearly all forms.

Life is a silly thing.
