Remember i said culture and society are both prisions from which you can not escape. You have to play the rules until you can break a little more free, but until then, use the education are getting to further your own cause.

And i agree, a lot of classes are nothing but fluff, but a lot of life is fluff too, don't let it get you too far down though, or you risk becoming another gear in the machine that you find unrest in. Smile and observe.
i am determined not to become a gear in the machine!
that's a rad metaphor, skrap :rasta:

i definitely am aware of the "fluff" in life, and moved away society's norms
i feel materialism and expectations is what leads to everyone's sorrows
and steer far from both. i hate money, but work and collect it because as you said, you have to play by the rules

to be honest,
i wouldn't be worried, but i feel the machine is advancing way too fast,
and will be farther along than i would like it to be when i leave it.
