My Voice

If we want to change society - if we want to change the WORLD, we must change how we educate our youth. We are not the ones who hold the power of the future in our hands - they are. It is our duty to ensure every single child is educated and prepared to save our world. Teach them to be robots in a classroom - accepting and regurgitating the information they're given without questioning it and that is exactly what they will be as adults. Robots who go through the motions and accept the media without question. We must raise our children to question everything - submerge them in hands-on learning that forces them to THINK, not just memorize pointless pieces of information that they'll forget within a week or two. We must engrave in them a deep desire to understand and learn - we must fill them with a never-ending thirst for knowledge. When we educate our children in this way, our world will bound ahead in ways we have never even imagined. It all begins with the children. It must always begin with the children.

I see hypocrisy everywhere and it drives me insane. It's even worse when I see people calling out hypocrites for being hypocritical when they, themselves, are hypocritical of the EXACT same things. I see this and want to say something - not out of spite but more like a mother guiding a child through a lesson. Unfortunately, I know it wouldn't go over well and would only result with them fuming at me. People tell me I'm wise and support everything I say to others until suddenly they're the ones I'm talking to and then they want to hear nothing of it. Hypocrites. Hypocrites everywhere.

When someone is giving you advise or criticism - listen to them. Even if everything they are saying seems wrong, at least listen. It can help you grow as a person. Perhaps they are wrong but their comments may make you aware of something you ARE guilty of or DO need to work on or maybe something you are doing great at and should CONTINUE to do.

The greatest advice I can give you in these situations is 2 words:
Just listen.
