Crap
Right, so let's get started.
The usual. Wake up, wash up, eat, board bus, get to school, get the key, open the door, slack, and go for assembly.
Assembly start, assembly finish, go back to class.
Alright, so now, the form teacher gives us 3 rules, namely:
Respect
Responsibility
Readiness
So he talks about these 3 thingys.
He says respect is the basis of humanity. If there was no respect, there wouldn't be just noise, there would be war. He said you don't respect in the hope that you get respected back, that was conditional, selfish.
In actual fact, you'll never get liked by everyone in the world. Someone or something is bound to clash with you, hate you, despise you, mock you in everything you do.
So by following the rule, you're supposed to respect this person back. Hard to do? Almost impossible.
No one single person is perfect and this hinders us in trying to do the above. If everyone were to be able to respect each other unconditionally, then there wouldn't be anymore catastrophe, no more war.
Yet the Earth wages an everlasting war on every single being that exists on it, opening cracks in it's shell, making it's waters move. More deadly than any bomb, and those who fall in the fire don't usually come back dead or alive.
So when will we respect the earth, much less respect each other?
He says that by being responsible, there will be efficiency in the task at hand. Things can get done with less bumps in the road.
So what actually leads you to this conclusion, textbooks? Classes? Is that really it?
No one single person is perfect, and this hinders us in trying to be fully responsible in whatever we do. Can you be fully responsible for that tree chopped down to make that textbook, the oil mined from the bottom of the ocean, damaging all that is around it, for the electricity you have today? Even I'm not perfect, all this electircity is wasted trying to type all this.
So, by not being responsible, we don't respect the Earth and it does what I've mentioned earlier. Note I'm just making use of the Earth as an example. It can apply to anything else. Am I respecting it here then?
He says that readiness gives speed, so paired with responsibility, the tasks at hand are done with speed and efficiency. Is that all you really want? Just the things done, nothing learnt?
No one single person is perfect, so this will never happen. It might happen to all material lessons, but that's material. You need to see beyond it, only then you'll learn the true lesson...
Oh great, I stil have a headache. Ignore the crap, time to move on with life. (=
I want a lesson on how to save a life.
Can I look beyond that? I guess so.
