I seen a post about how art, music was taken away and was replaced with bullshit like music top 40 and reality tv shows and how were all distracted while some morons are running the world and in a way I agreed but at the same time I dont because if you feed into the irrelevance its your fault and then the most perfect comment ive ever read in my whole life was on the post and this was it! Good education, art and general wellbeing have never been easily accessible, based on what we know of human history. To act as if some great injustice is being done because some measure of sacrifice and discipline is required for you to achieve them is naive, at best, and self-indulgent, at worst. There was a time when most couldnt even go to university – debt or no debt. Now, with a few clicks, you can read about the theory of relativity in its entirety for free. Only a few could access the philosophy of Albert Camus, the fiction of Jean-Paul Sartre and the paintings of Salvador Dali – now, you can access all from your toilet seat. I didn’t study art but I know a great deal about all these people, among other artists – as well as politics and law, among other topics – because I choose to study them in my own time. I’m by no means an exception – most of my friends are equally eclectic in their knowledge and we’re all mid to late twenties. My point is, our current system isn’t perfect – but no system has ever been. Don’t be angry at an indeterminable universe for being the way it is – be angry at yourself for failing to adapt to it. Then channel that anger towards something productive. Don’t be angry at this faceless, unidentifiable “They” who are supposedly trying to keep you down. Seriously, you’re not that special (none of us are)… everything that happens in your world (yes, your world) isn’t specially designed to keep you down. Look how much responsibility this post gives them for your happiness and freedom... they can just take from you at will? Without force? How weak does that make you? Don’t be angry at the shit “they” feed you – be angry at yourself for eating it.
