Man either rises above it
or crumbles beneath its weight for there is no moving the mountains

Flying
Ok, so I have this teacher that I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being. He's the worst teacher in the world. He's boring, stupid, and inane. He's the stupidest idiot that I've ever had the misfortune to know and I have no idea how I'm supposed to last an entire year with him.
Now that felt really good.....but I might have been a bit unfair. This teacher of mine is not stupid on the contrary he is very smart, filled to the brink with useless knowledge. (oops there I go again with my unfair judgements). He is a bit boring but he's not that bad. Truthfully my biggest problem with him is his rules. I find most of them to have no purpose whatsoever. But I can handle, that I mean I'll have to live the rest of my life tied down by stupid rules that only exist because without them the Idiotic and Useless of society wouldn't be able to function. My problem with my teacher's rules are his reasoning behind them. His reasoning is not to see if we can obey stupid rules or in preparation of the rules we will deal with later in life, its not even just because he can. His reason for for setting down these laws is that life isn't fair so why should his class be. Now excuse my language, but that is the biggest case of bullshit I've come across in a while. That's just an excuse people use when they don't want to admit that they're being unreasonable. Sure life is unfair, but that does not give a person the right to take away what little fairness there could be. "Life is unfair" is just a pathetic little excuse people use when they're afraid. When instead of trying to fight against whatever *unfairness fate throws at them, they shrug their shoulders as if to say it's too far above us, what can we do. The world should be filled with more then just people who shrug their shoulders.
You're probably all thinking the same thing. That this is an idealist view of the world, real life isn't as easy as this, no one can do this. Truthfully I completely agree with you. How can a single person rise above anything? My answer is simply by trying. It's true you could try and fail, and that failure could end up crushing you. The world is not so kind as to let every person succeed. In spite of that or maybe because of it I would rather die trying to fly then to live safely on the ground. I don't much like boundaries or limits. I hate that saying " The sky's the limit". I don't want anything limiting me. Whether it be my parents or society or even the sky. It may end up backfiring horrendously, but I'm going to test the boundaries every day of my life. (Now that does NOT mean I'm going to go out and try to break laws and get myself sent to jail, because that would be stupid beyond belief.) It simply means I'm not going to let the sky, the world or the people that live in it dictate how high I can fly, and neither should you.
*the unfair things in life can be anything from being forced to clean your room to racism and war.

Do you ever wish your life was a fairy tale? I do, majority of the time in fact. Fairy tale are simple. There's good friends and true love and a whole bunch of other happy things. Even the bad things like the evil witch aren't as bad because you know that the good guys always win. Right from the start you know how its going to end, and maybe that's the allure. These stories give us the stability that real life doesn't. But think about it would you really want to live in a world where you always knew what was going to happen? Some of you might be like "yeah that sounds awesome just so long as whats going to happen is good." Well now think about that a bit harder ..... whats the point of living if you know whats going to happen, and whats the point of starting if you know how its going to end? There is no point. So try and live each and everyday in a new and different way. Don't ever be afraid of trying new things.
