Rules!

have you ever gotten tired of letting rules have in your control  life?  Have you ever wondered why you get up and keep showing up to job for a manager who didn't pass high school but continue to roll on a power trip, or  why do i get up and go to school to be taught be teachers who failed at their professions. If you have then its time to perform  a psychoanalysis on yourself. When you search from within i find more often than not that my true passions are dying to unleash. Sure, its expected that i go to school, get a degree, get a cushy corporate job,  have a family, and  bust out three kids but is this my dream, or an idea that's been crammed into my head since i was three years old.
                Its interesting to think more often about the motivations behind our actions. Education is important, but the onus is ultimately on us to educate ourselves. When i have a test on Monday and am having trouble the teacher isn't there to guide me through things and hold my hand becuase if you want to be educated on a certain subject we will teach ourselves. School isn't hard , it just boils down to weather we find a meaning in it. And Should we really waste our time learning something that deep down we think is pointless?
              I see so many people working so hard just to break even, or pay the bills, and when i asked my parents why they show up to work they told me, "becuase everyone has to work". Fuck that, where is the freedom of choice in this? I thought America was suppose to be about how we have the freedom of choice, and if showing up at some meaningless job is what it takes to be part of the 90th percentile in the middle class than i'd honestly rather be poor. At least if i'm poor im not getting raped by the government and watching my tax money flow into the wallets of the richest 1%.
            This notion of going against the grain has always appealed to me, becuase it seems to be what success is all about. I mean if everyone follows the same blueprint then innovation doesn't exist, creativity is stagnant, and change never occurs. Did Martin Luther king follow the blueprint? No. Did Ghandi wait for change to happen? No.
Sure, its scary to be on your own, but think of how gratifying it is to prove all the haters wrong, think of the absolutive euphoria when you finally tame your dreams. Anyways, fuck the rules they were put there to make us think twice about things, but whoever made these rules don't give two shits about me, or you,  so why should we follow them!
