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^^^^^

An inclination towards the arena of the archaic

The archaic vs the contemporary
is a side some find they are placed on or gravitate towards
stemming from a variety of things
from monikers

to forms of conversant
but what are the tales
of traits of both sides
one can sense an aroma of alienation and yet a hint of distinction
forming individualism

or is it
for the arguments
sometimes bread from nostalgia
and the lost of certain qualities
and the dislike of their replacements
i recently read a post saying the text message will never replace the love letter


but it got me thinking did someone say that previously about the poem
 when love letters were the in thing over tonal resonance
and that they do not get replaced
but become niche
but could that be coming for prevalent forms
for is not the text message the love letter upon another medium
or the voice mail the spoken word on another medium
 and perhaps as with love letters
these sms messages will also be archived in museums

but is the question here about the new forms
but the hyper sensationalism
surrounding them
and the bandwagon syndrome
accompanied with the in thing

and the undertones of a written love letter
compared to the sms
for the time and care and direct personalisation
of a hand written letter
from the ink splatter
the way the person crosses tees
and dots the i
or loops the j or y or p or q
or that they are into their culture
and not swept up by the rivers of current

and they are not the general run of the mill
but have some depth and are more well like than just being a brook
running towards the next fad

In my previous post i talked about reliance
and the archaic is normally
those balanced
and can survive in the two worlds postulated
one with electricity and one without

for some may see archaics as those against progression or anti technology
but really otherwise
for kids nowadays are always plugged in
where hence kids of yesteryear had to entertain themselves
and technology
such as books yoyos chess pieces where tools
which worked in conjuction
not the controlling function

which is the balance i was on about in the last post

what would you do if you could only use electricity for an hour a day

could you cope

or would you think you would be a better person
because distractions would be gone

i will leave you to mull that over

Boredom/idleness=Broaden/investment

I am currently watching a film which  i will review later on

which brought me back to this topic 

the sometimes synonymous 

interchangeable 

interloping

interlocking

Boredom and idleness

Views have a perspective and this has a western city perspective 

boredom is a worry and fear of many people

it is moaned it is groaned

and at every turn banished but for some to regularly raise its head again

Some say boredom is eternal foe of humanity 

but is it boredom or idleness

we have all heard of the saying the devil makes work of idle hands 

which the response is to be busy with your hands

but the saying is only half of the equation 

we can think of boredom as a comma and idleness as a full stop the calm before the storm

i myself cannot remark on the last time i was bored 

i personally think within a city it is impossible to bored 

whereas idleness is around every corner the interlude the interval 

between events

which bertrand russell goes into great depths to discuss 

 but it rose to my attention i said before because of this film

the character retorts how humans have been given the 

human anatomy

the understanding of to a degree

they have nature 

they have cosmos 

and i add they have the internet and they are bored

then it got me thinking what people get bored

and what people get idle 

sheep get bored

and wolves or foxes get idle

whereas these coming days of holiday for some they will be 

chasing lights and others in an attempt to not be bored 

this festive period i was given some food for thought 

what do you do with family 

and when i saw these archaic games 

i chuckled to myself of how people 

lost the art of entertaining themselves

one may say that the entertainment has evolved 

but in what sense 

that with the archaic games ones mind as well as eyes had to be engaged in the case of scrabble

monopoly chess and so forth yes you can get them electronically

but how popular is it 

as with films how many blockbuster movies are there devoid of explosions and eye candy

but i digress 

i now refer to a previous post on the film limitless  

how one can be limited within the limitless 

and that the problems are of the mind but are wrongly being attacked through the body

for some one phrase can keep them occupied for hours perhaps days 

i even conversed through a social medium 

with a person who claimed to not have uttered a word for three days

i remarked at how he managed to do so

 more from the point of others boredom attempting to encroach on his idleness 

for with idleness one can find themselves or see things that one through the hustle and bustle would miss

but with boredom the bandwagons are bountiful

for me boredom is blasphemy but shows ones sense of sight 

for within a room in the average household are a million questions 

you never thought to ask

from how do tvs work or radios or mobile phones

how many hairs are on a head 

how long can you not speak for 

could i reverse engineer the products in my house

could i read the dictionary from cover to cover

etc

some may say they dont have time but they make time to battle boredom and also why not change that they time is preoccupied 

i will leave on this 

if boredom leads to following what does idleness lead to

and if this continues

where will society end up 

the people who succumb to boredom a majority on one side 

and idleness on another
