Not required, but desired. If this spurns any thoughts at all, good and bad, I would like to see them in the comments! And please, humor me with an answer if you kindly would.

"You have to work from a young age so the next generation doesn't have to.

You have to work through your adolescence struggling with new problems no one wants to talk about, or there is so much stigma that doing so leads to bullying and harassment.

We spend our young adult years working a part time job to make ends meet with any grants you can muster to minimize out of pocket costs because the jobs pay nowhere near enough for a liveable wage or taking big, untamed ambitious leaps without any regard for what we're doing.

We spend our next years in despair, hating ourselves for our mistakes and what we should have done, what could have done.

And our waning years accepting that this is the way things are and there is nothing we can do to change it. We lose sight that we do have power if we take the time to think."

A response I made to a post on YouTube. what does this make you think? how does it make you feel? do you have any aspirations to fix it? If you do, then good. you're already on the right path. if you don't? then remember Koro Sensei; "To be weak I said, to be flawed, vulnerable. To perceive weakness in others not to exploit but to protect. To be a guide, to be a teacher."

So think about your goals. What do you want to be remembered for in someone else's life? and spread that message on. In by doing that, you'll have made my dream come alive.

The Master as failed more times than the Novice has tried.
