Everyone’s so worried about what you want to be, where you want to go to school, what you’re gonna do. But sometimes I stop and I think, what about the people who don’t want to do anything, or go to school, or be anything? There’s an entire world of wild things to do and see. But, you need money to go there. And you have to have a job to get money. And you have to go to school to get a better job to make up more money. And jobs and school take time. It makes me sad that it is impossible for someone to spend their whole life doing the things that they want to do, seeing the things that they want to see, going to the places they want to go. We start school when we’re five, graduate when you’re eighteen. Ten months of each of those years, five days a week, we spend in a school, “learning new things”. But what about all the time wasted, sitting in class for a few minutes before and after class starts, talking, walking down the hallway. Kids who finish work before class is over have to sit in there until the bell. Why should the students who can get their work done within a few hours, spend a certain number of days required by the government stuck in a classroom, sitting there with nothing to do? Meanwhile there’s things that need done, and places to go. The Earth is being polluted, and filled with garbage. Entire species are being washed away, area of the planet no longer as beautiful as they once were. Too many people with too little amounts of money to do anything about it care about the issues, and too little people with too much money don’t care enough to use their money for the issues. Instead of worrying about school shootings and the Earth dying, they’re worried about whether women should be allowed to have birth control, and whether people should be allowed to own a gun. There’s many other, much more brutal current issues, and no one with any power is going and doing anything about it. Instead of teaching children in school what happened in the past, how about we teach them what do do in the future so that the generations after us don’t screw it up as bad as we did, so that we can stay on the Earth without it being full of trash. How about we understand that sometimes people need to be taken care of, not items such as guns and birth control. Why don’t we let the people who want to travel the country, do it, and let them not have to worry about having enough money to see the things and people they want? People always try and say, it matters most what type of a person you are, but that can’t make sense. So many people out there are good people, have great intentions, are nice, and want to make a difference in the world. But everyone judges them based on whether they have a degree or where they went to school and whether they smoke or not and whether they’ve had and abortion or not. Does it matter what you have done, or does it matter what you want to do, and what you can do? So many people are concerned about the things that do matter, but have little to no power to do anything about it. So few people are concerned about stupid politics that aren’t going to help people become better people. And nobody is doing anything about it. And there isn’t much that we can do about it. Because you will be labeled based on your race, sexuality, gender, religion, and personal choices you make. Imagine if everyone stopped trying to legalize weed, and started trying to take care of school shootings, pollution, etc. if we all just came together and ignored whatever you did last night for fun and accepted the fact that we are all in the same place and we all just want the same thing. Because together we can make one heck of a difference in the world, but alone, with seven billion different points of view on how the world should be and seven billion of us constantly judging other people, we will not get what needs to be done finished in time.
