Education Free Fall

So, since the beginning of the first school
all appeared so, so hopeful.  However, like it or not,
education continues a steady and relentless free fall.

You ask, "Why, how come, it's news to me".
The allure of education is for the individual a chance for perfection. 
Bewhare the sad truth.  Without question, you must exchange perfection for mediocrity

Indeed, very near the beginning, individual asperation and worth are exchanged quietly for the collective  good.  The quiet vail of mediocrity begins to choke the unknowing soul.  Of course, an every present caveat assures everyone that good for all must surely be good for the individual.

Find a place at the table of many.  Rather, how about a seat under the table in the dark.  Please wait for a light through the cracks to make your day.  Light shines through a crack in the table.  Grasp a  tear drop and wet your appetite for lost perfection.

You question, how could this be.  Well, think back, reminisce, have you achieved the perfection desired beginning with day one?  Are you doing what you really want to do?  Do you know your true talent, much less put it to practice for self and others?

Some say, yes, completly, well almost.  Others say a little, it's yet to come.  You out there that have achieved perfection, I ask you, can you truely distinguish your self  from others?  Is your integrity whole or merely hand maden to others?  Are you settled with what you have become?

Let us begin anew as if day one.  Regain your self, integrity and power.  Then, freely give it over to another, your friend, lover and neighbor. Have a truly happy and prosperious life.

The Price of Sanity

In the end truth reigns high.

This is a journey through time beginning with the truth and ending the same.
  • You accept a lie to be accepted.
  • A lie spares one the agony of seeing yourself or others as they really are.
  • Lies often hide the shame of truth.
  • Lies reveal where we want to go but lack sufficient courage.
  • Happiness not yet achieved begs for lies to go away.
  • A dead conscience rises from lies.
  • Lies tell the story of good intentions never realized.
  • Lies are just plain cheap and easier to do than truth.
  • Friends feel better when you lie, especially about them.
  • Short term gain seems easier to achieve with lies.
  • Truth brings happiness because it is freedom.
  • Lies cannot exist along side truth and freedom.
  • Lies hide fear and eventually causes an end to life.
