I guess you can say this is a response to what happened on Tuesday.
I feel like there’s a lot of people in my country that aren’t exactly “educated” in all kinds of ways. Sure, education is important, but it’s used to promote a culture of standardization. Standardization is basically irrational common sense.
I feel right now that there’s too many people who think they know what’s best for others because they’re either too smart and/or too dumb. It’s such a binary and easily leads to fractures among communities. Education can’t be tied to being a “school-only” concept.
You know what creates strong communities? Being humble to admit that we don’t know all the answers to life and sharing that we can all take the journey to keep on going despite the fact. I learned this independently from being outside the normal life. I’m not gonna mince words that this world’s full of awful people who don’t care about the well-being of others. And there’s still goodness out there because I’ve personally seen and experienced it.
Every day, I think about life and ask what it means to be a person in this life. Sometimes, I get emotionally overwhelmed, but I’m proud to say that I’m living a decent life. And I was able to do this independently (with some help on the side) away from online echo chambers.
I don’t see this a whole lot from a lot of people nowadays. I just wish there was a Witch Hat Atelier-themed magic spell that really gets people to learn what it means to be educated and see what the real lessons of living are.
In any case, this isn’t the end. What I’ve learned is that we can still create magic. It doesn’t have to be grand as long as it touches the hearts of those around us and connects us to the bigger picture. Those are the spells worth learning.
