Revolution

I've had this particular conversation about three times this week and I felt like I needed to put the words out there for a few of y'all to read...

It's time to wake up. We've all heard about the revolution but do we really know what it's all about? Each time I've heard it it's been associated with violence. But I've come to the conclusion that the revolution is actually going to be very peaceful and powerful at the same time. And here's exactly why I say that.

We're all part of a system. We were born into it. Out parents were born into it. Their parents were born into it. It's changed over the years but it's all the same. Think about it. From the first day of school until your very last day of school ever, how much did you learn? How much of that knowledge do you actually use? School is an absolute waste of time. I've never had to know what an isosceles triangle was a day in my life after I took the test on it. I mean we spend so much time learning about stuff that we'll never need then get told we can't progress if we don't know it. Don't get me wrong knowledge is important and some stuff in school was very important but nothing really past 8th grade is needed unless you're specializing in something. School should be about building relationships and learning what applies to the real world. But the system is set up to keep us thinking this is what you're supposed to do. When some kids graduate high school and college they get blindsided by life because they just weren't ready for it. Why is that? Are we not supposed to be prepared for how deal with real life issues? I just think we should look at things a little differently than the way we have since everything started. I say all that to say the revolution has started. Look who's starting to own a lot of things now. Rappers and actors etc. are turning into business men and women who are starting to show the younger generation you don't need to have a degree or even a high school diploma to make it. They're worth hundreds of millions of dollars and rub elbows with the oldest richest people in the world. It was really the same with the drug dealers. Educated in life not calculus and figured out how to make it and turned the money they made into a legit business. Same model but the system couldn't allow that but now more people aren't doing it legally and are slowly taking over. I'm not saying you should drop out of school but you should be allowed to choose your path before 18. School should teach the basics and let you choose how you wanna build after that. We'll have more people contributing and helping to build earlier. But pretty soon people are going to get tired of that 9-5 that only allows them to pay bills and barely have enough for gas and food for the next two weeks. Too tired when you get off to put the energy into your dreams so you just go to sleep and go to work the next day. This cycle is the system at work. But not for long...
