Now this is something I was thinking about since 9th grade. The main thoughts that popped into my head was what job I wanted in the future and to be honest I don't know. Also I thought about if I should even go to college or at least if I should go to college right after High School. My understanding of college is that it is just a trap. It is just a big road block in life that just puts people in depth in the future and if I don't know what I want to do for a living then why would I go right away? Also something else that popped into my head was that the people who are my friends now may not be in the future; I don't even remember half the people in middle school let alone elementary. Then I also thought about what if one of my friends or a person I know screws me out of a job, can I really blame him/her for doing the normal thing. Most of us are going to have to face these problems in life. Also the stupid things I do now. I can't keep doing in the future, it is going to catch up to me in the future later. Then I got to thinking that why would I need new friends in high school if I might not remember them ten years from now unless someone brings up their name. Then after all these questions came up you wonder if all this even matters, all this stress over good grades, keeping up with people, and even going to school. I know for a fact that most adults after they got their job they forget more then half the things they learned in school. Also why would I stress out over things like math if I'm not going to do something in math? Like if someone asks you for directions to go some were you don't say oh ya go to the street that bisects that one and you would be on a parallel street next to that big sphere (actually you might describe that part) and walk the length of the radius. You go to a person and say that their going to look at you like your crazy. That goes for all subjects that you think you don't really need. What is going to happen after this, I mean at the end of the day the reality is that were going to die so...... hmmmm. Well this entire blog I babbled about something that is way over my head right now, but it was on my mind.
So what do you think about all this?
i think life would be simpler if we understand that the future is a mystery and we will never know what will happen to us. if we dont care for the future it is like we are waiting for death. its funny how the only thing we are sure about in our future is death.
ReplyDeletethe point of education is not to get a job, anyone can get a job. The point of it is to become educated. To expand your mind and your way of thinking about the world. That's what college is about. In fact, most of what you learn in college is concept. You don't get any real job training until you're almost about to graduate. Then you have to turn those concepts/ideas you learned into skills.
