Why do we go to school and why do we work ?

They detract from the natural instinct to explore. Life is a catch 22. We go to school to learn, to find out how to be thinkers and philosophers. Does is truly achieve this? Or is it a waste?  School is time. When do we have time to take the chance to appreciate ? To be alive and to explore. To do what we desire and not what our professor or boss desires for us.

We work to make money. Our reasons for working may vary across culture and from person-to-person. But most of us work to survive. So, if school is time and time is money. What's the purpose? Why do we do this? Some of us may find gratifying careers , but most of us will not. Most of society is stuck in some low-paying, shitty job where their boss knows close to nothing about how to treat a human being. Is that any way to live? Why do we enslave ourselves to a life not worth living?

In one of my most peaceful moments, I envision a large, open meadow where the sun shines radiantly. The sky is the brightest hue of blue you could fathom. Imagine yourself standing at the top of a mountain. You are looking out over a beautiful meadow with a sparkling lake in the distance. The breeze gently brushes your skin.The sense of tranquility comes over you quickly and you are transported. Experience this in its actuality. Nature is that source of energy. Open yourself to it. Be vulnerable to it. Have those feelings and be free.

 I am determined. I am proactive. I am ready to be alive. And live with love and compassion. Nature and beauty. Do yourself a favor and think about it. Digest and absorb it. Share the secret. Positive energy is the nutrients for the soul. Feed yourself. Vivere.
