Isn't it ironic that such a big institution which is highly prized has managed to create so much failure around and yet nobody is questioning its very principles? Parents still look at school as being the only path towards success: they even take loans to make sure their child "receives" the best education. If some school drop-outs are millionaires....that should raise some serious questions. And yet...amazingly...the institutions of school and government and hospital etc as we know them still work. I think that the pandemic was a loaded gun with the sole purpose of creating panic, fear and more attachment to the system. But in the case of some it had a whole different effect: questioning it all. Once you have a splash of cold water on your face you can't go back to sleep. I feel like this now. I am sure that you feel the same as I know that you are stacking satoshis in the pursuit of a better future, one where you are more free .
Is this worth it. Oh if I would get a penny for everytime I asked this question and chosen to not answer to it fully. The price of ignoring an inner awakening is high. The price of sitting in a place hoping for something to change is the death of the soul. I have taken many brave decision in my life. I also have not taken some decisions because I wasn't fully aware of what is important. You see...the only thing which keeps you spinning on the wheel is the illusion that you will have time later to enjoy/create the life you want after you spend years living the life you no longer want. But the illusion is so clear because there is no guarantee that we will be here tomorrow as there is no guarantee that the elders will live enough to see those retirement pennies. The moment we have today is the only valuable asset and it can be stolen by keeping yourself occupied with what you think is safe. You can come to this conclusion when something in your soul snaps and peaks through what life is all about: love, experiences, inner joy, pursuing your passion and exploring your native talents to the fullest. I have not heard of any school wanting to teach children about this. No wonder we wake up in our 30's or 40's or 60's puzzled, amazed, frightened and scared. Discovering what life is about is like diving into the ocean of uncertainty which was presented as a big danger in society: we only do the right safe thing, we never dig for new roads. I have dirt on my hands as I am digging. Deep. Not knowing where it will lead me yet. But I no longer want to wash my hands in the bucket of denial. The price to pay is not worth it.
