On the unspoken truth behind the education system

"On the unspoken truth behind the education system
Calvin: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations."

In the days to come our generation would have passed on things that have been effective only on pages of a book. Worked on issues that have resolved nothing but simply added more to what is existing. Taken smaller steps towards changes, not because we are scared, but because we are urged to take the safer steps ahead. Our own time has fallen to the idea that learning and education are somewhat synonyms to the same cause and effect. We have learned to acknowledge facts but not add to them and yet we keep fighting with ourselves for a change.

In tomorrow's debates and worlds aside we have learned that nothing and no one can be responsible for being how forgetful we have become of the things that do and do not matter. Our knowledge is no longer dredged upon by the curious minds alike but dragged along the sight of ulterior motives that I encourage you to explore.

On providence’s lack of a timetable

"On the falling of sparrows (or providence’s lack of a timetable)
Calvin: Life is full of surprises, but never when you need one."

We are constantly threatened by what we cannot see, hold or touch. Sometimes even bothered by the things we cannot feel. We are worried about the things we wish did happen at the times we needed it the most. About our complains and regrets being heard somehow.

Life is not fair, and it never will let you choose what you can and cannot wish from it. The surprises are the little things in life that catch you off guard, the insights that we find in other people and the little knowledge we gain every single day. Life is truly full of surprises, and not always when you need them. But that still doesn't mean we stop expecting, we stop hoping.

On why we are scared of the dark

"On why we are scared of the dark
Calvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction."

Our greatest victory our closest nights are often found when we knew we didn't give up we put up a fight. Our fears may bind us sometimes when its dark and lonely, when the absolute idea that the nothingness around you is what worries you the most. We fear something when we don't understand something, we fear when nothing makes sense when it is supposed to and we fear because we feel we have no one to share our fears with.

It binds us, constrains us and sometimes limits the flight of thoughts knowing there's nothing or no one to fall back to. I yearn you to dream, to imagine a world where your greatest fear is realized only because you want to face them and to keep a friend around. Even in the darkest nights your fears will only distract you, if you allow it to.

On expectations

"On expectations
Calvin: Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!"

We are often restricted when we sit behind our desks defining happiness, setting up scale, often not realizing it is simply a state of mind. Our greatest fears, our regrets and our joys are those which are never obvious to you. They strike

 you when you least expect it.

Understand that the most amazing things about life, some of the most beautiful ones in life are about moments that are yet to be realized. They are beyond what we have written, realized or even felt sometimes. We need to be better everyday, we need to be euphoric even if we don't demand it from life sometimes.

On life’s constant little limitations

Few days back I was reading about the 16 best things Calvin and Hobbes said and I said I will pick up writing a little about all of them as I share it with you.

"On life’s constant little limitations
Calvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help."

Doing things your way is always the tougher part, accepting that life isn't about rationalizing things, its about living it sometimes. Life isn't about being right all the time, its about having a game face when you lose too.Friends are never about drawing boundaries, its about crossing them anyways that matters. It's about life's constant constraints that keeps it interesting.
