Oh Sam. I wish I could take everything I know and have experienced and pour it into your ear with a funnel. You're a bright, thinking person. You will eventually come to a point in your life where mere tolerance will not satisfy you, and you will want to rail against injustice, or at the very least, you will be very very very tired of plastering on a fake smile and putting up with bullshit. Don't go along to get along, unless you're just doing that on the surface while you plot against tyranny in secret.

Nurture your inner anarchist.
