How do you feel about being under educated?

[Aaron (Al) Lewis]

If you are willing please share with the Red Pill members what your emotions are, if any, and if you have discovered that perhaps you were not educated as well as you could have been? If you have learned anything new or different about the education process and it was "left out" of your formal (past) education process, what are your feelings and judgments about that and those that may not have served your interest?

Feel free to be frank and blunt. This perhaps may help others.

I will share a short example to show all that I am not asking something of you I would not do myself. Quite frankly I was confused, angry, ashamed and afraid most of my years in school. I never knew what was really happening. I never knew what my destination was to be. All this effort to land where? I never knew the relevance of what I was supposed to be learning and since I didn't see that much opportunity waiting on me after I was supposed to finish school, I didn't see the need for all the energy and hoopla!

In addition I had working against me the statement, “You have to be ten times better and twice as good.” Though I understand what they, my teachers and parents, were getting at, that is not how I internalized that statement. First off, if I had to be 10 times better and twice as good it also said that I was NOT as good in an opposite numerical fashion. That’s one unintended consequence that obviously they never thought through clearly.

I was bitter and enraged about school and in fact hated it, most of the students I knew and most of the educators in the schools I attended. In 2003, that all began to come to a dramatic end. I was finally able to see that I had the capability to understand complex issues and abstracts. I find that I love the education process when presented as it was intended to be. I feel powerful, confident and joyful because there is always something new, different and RELEVANT to learn!

Why the change? Well now I didn't say I'd tell all did I? However, this site is dedicated to pointing out some of those things.

Learning and education is exciting. When I think back on those school teachers who made an impression, the ones that challenged me to dissect all aspects of the subject matter were my saviors. As they allowed me to progress to self-educated; hence, the meaning of the word educate. I can't judge my teachers or institutions for miss-educating me because they are a part of the larger picture of keeping the masses in the dark.  We all need a pay check.   It is up to the individual to take their degrees and share information you know to be useful in maneuvering through the non-sense. Unfortunately we must play the game. I'm not quite convinced that the ruling class wants the masses to know methodologies, tactics, and the depths of the education maze.  I used to believe in the system......

@Glorified,

Right at TWENTY years ago you opened up a door and walked into a space that placed you on the path to finding what you were looking for.  You responded to the sounds of a voice in your head that was caused by a sound in the air (radio). NOW, it is time for you to do what you have been preparing to DO. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KNOCKED!!!

I am confused and I feel sad more than I feel anger.  I'd like to be angry and think I should be angry, but I consider many just did what they knew or worked with what was given.  I do get angry with those who wish to remain under educated.  I judge I get angry because I think things do not have to remain the same, there is so much more especially for the youth.  I judge its selfish for some to not want their go beyond and accomplish so much more.  I have always loved to read and learn but growing up school just seemed so boring and I'd often daydream and zone out.  Overall, something just didnt seem right about the education process.  Classes to me were the breaks between socializing and sport activities.

Learing through the processes on this site, makes me wonder where I could be if I were introduced to this as a young child.  I honestly think the possibilities for me personally could have been endless for me.  I hear some say well it was good enough for me, its good enough for my children and I judge people like that are weak and cowards.  I guess its the competitor in me to want to win.  I have always been someone who listens and thinks about what is going on, now I hear people say things they have no idea what they are even talking about.  I'm greatful that the essence of my BEing doesnt want to just go along to get along.

@Adisa---I refuse to allow you to feel ANGER and I expect for you to get over the sadness in the next few moments

You are the ONE that will CHANGE what has become the present reality and YOU cannot wait for someone else to do what has to be done by the I AM.
