Passport

I read a quotation again recently
That education is your passport

Which separates people
Tourist and travellers
Clients and consumers

We send off our details and money with snapshots of our faces
To get this pamphlet showing places you have been and for how long

And with that you can then pay for plane boat or train and cross borders
Then there are people who do this without external authority

But without digressing yes you can travel places but depending on your education you can only go certain places or may go there and never come back willingly or unwillingly

Especially language wise and customs wise
Though This world is everyones for some of us it is merely metaphorical
Could you pack up your bags and move country and be up and running again for many moving towns is to much
And for some it is areas within the same city

We want what the world has to offer but are not always in the place to utilise such  opportunities

Aside from the external hurdles presented to us

What are oysters to passports
Tram tickets to airline tickets

Would you rather be turning down offers than being turned down by them

Investment
Is seen only as stocks and shares
Which is a philosophy of imbalance
And If december is seen as the month that seeds change then if our January remains the same we failed somewhere along the way

How much was spent on externals
New shoes clothes you name it
How about a Rosetta stone
Or a new skill
Or cultivating the skills we do have

We do not have to be landlocked entities entirely but what do we desire to be

making a better me aka educating

 i recently stumbled upon some lectures by ^^^ krs one


and they were encouraging but were centred around education and history

the history of hiphop and the history of america
and the history of the players on the stage

and how most peeps think hiphop is just
rapping


but he says rapping is a by product of hiphop
just as success is a by product of education or becoming the best you

contrary to this rappers view


and that our aim should be creating better versions of ourselves

the next question is how do we create better versions of us

whose driving this thing

currently i have talking about education
and neets

if life begins at forty what is the time before that

and how many of us examine our life



and one thing to question is the drive of our life


<<<this is the goal for some or they believe it to be

<<< or this but do you need a house so big

but that is only the face of their supposed drives
or the personification

but what drives us
drives me
or drives you

why do you think university is the key or not so
did you come up with that idea yourself

why are you in or went to uni
and why are you or did you study whatever you are studying

so if this is the foundation for your beginning of life
who is driving the vehicle you are in

you
your parents
your peers

for what would some of you say if at

they said you will not get a piece of paper documenting your time here and your exploits on
test we generically asked you to sit
and is validated being signed by people who do not know you or abilities

just be glad you came this far

would you demand your physical piece of information or be like thanks for the drive

for i have said many a time
people ask you with education but what can you do with that

which questions us
how many of us are educating ourselves
to learn
or for rewards
like a pavlovian dog

reacting to stimuli

to the fact if someone said i am a doctor or going to be
oooh you are going to be well off

and why does monetary wealth springs to mind

in conjunction
that i heard once that this person was wasting their time
collecting degrees
instead of just getting a job

and that some people will be more happy for you getting a job any type of job
thank knowledge

disclaimer i am not equating uni with knowledge


and how this new kind of question half argument has arisen with this attitude in mind


of but i have more money
as if money equates or outweighs knowledge

can we envisioned our lives doing things for in and of in themselves
if that exist
or by our own passions and drives

question so what is to be made of someone who has passed every exam but their final exam

which brings me on to this

schooling is not education aka neet

welcome to nhk 

is about a neet

which stands for not in education

employment or training

and this what is the grim picture for some that makes people hold up schools or schooling

as if it is the only way

this brings a complex in many individuals

from being looked down 

to being pressured into schooling

for some schooling is a daunting task full of monotony 

and lack of an outlet for self expression and creativity

which has them fussing over trivialities

and trying to find their own with little information whilst being herded

with the pressures to do something anything 

to be occupied

because

yet betrand russell would have something different to say about that 

and following russells work neet is the epitome of ^^^ idleness

and ideness is seen as laziness as a disease 

shunned and abhored

but he argues 

it is from where greatness is derived

and moments of brilliance 

and i would add where finally get you bearings

as i talked about the silence recently

idleness is a thing many do not have or want to have

they always want to be occupied

and with these polarized opposites the neet finds themselves

in between the cusp of greatness and the rod of the shepherd 

for if you ask many people when is the last time they took a walk with no aim they would probably reply

yet albert camus 

and people forget that their needs time for the application of growth

seen in infants who spend their time absorbing info from their surroundings before they eventually try to influence it

the thing with the word neet nobody is really a neet 

but it is more so in relation to generals

such as education

public not autodidact 

and public training not private

but the thing is even if you are reading books like a chain smoker 

others will look down on you and even call it frivolous for your lack of income 

for most education is to get income

hands up how many times have you heard that question and felt you need to defend it

and for these neets they are limbo 

being swayed like palm trees in a tropical storm

and being showered in showers of self loathing

but people change tunes at success and others will get encouragement of your time in the wilderness

and in closing 

for al the neets^^^^^
