I vaguely remember the time when I was a docile, quiet kid in school. And then opportunities came along, and ever since then the primal competitive instincts in me were kindled. It had since been a constant fight for positions, and even more chances to prove myself.
A rat race.
.. and for what?
Perhaps a fair fighting chance for when I need a job? Perhaps for my parents to have something to brag about? Perhaps to prove people wrong? It’s only when you question it that you realize how pointless it is.
Systems that bring out these ruthless competitive instincts in people are horrible. Meritocratic systems as in elite schools & bell-curves. The world would be a much better place if everyone was willing to share their knowledge with others, without fear of the other person becoming more knowledgeable than you and one-upping you. We sign up for classes because we want to learn; not because we need to pull up our grades by trampling on others’ lack of knowledge.
This is merely a shitty grinding system for leaders to squeeze everyone dry. And I want out.
I just wish to earn enough money to buy a house by the woods, settle down, and spend the rest of my days taking care of my kids, writing, gaming and painting.
Just thought I’d share this.
It’s a book report that’s won an international prize and was published in a book, so it might be copyrighted? I’m really not sure but I was the one who wrote it anyway, and the books were all sold out, so here.
