Quantify

I've found it. I've found the/a fundamental flaw of society today. We are stuck in this frantic competition trying to meet the cookie cutter perfect score polo and Saturday croquet life. We are born originals and spend our lives trying to become average.

Have you noticed that everything that "matters" in life has a number, grade point average, weight, salary, square footage, height, test score we're trying to classify perfection rather than experiencing perfection. We live in a society where a person's numbers matters more than a person's potential. We've taken out personal interaction and replaced it with reports and numbers and facts and figures and robotic bull.

Education today is a perfect example. We've taken the beautiful exchange of knowledge from one person to another and made it a disgusting competition. Why can't I go to school learn something I didn't know and call it a success? Because that's not what life is about Justin, life is finding adequacy from others rather than finding satisfaction in yourself.

Have you ever noticed how ridiculous high ranking military uniforms are? It is a man/women in a costume that is supposed to tell everyone around them that they are above them. If they are really that impressive, shouldn't I be able to tell without the neon sign of ribbons and ropes? We don't need these classifications, greatness should be felt not seen or heard (This thought ends abruptly no apologies)

Challenge time, since I guess that's what we're doing here.
- Live a life that you find successful, ignore the urge to quantify yourself and just be your own success.-

On a different note, the trip that was mentioned in the first post has been the inspiration for all of the realizations I've come across, this blog is the manifestation from my everyday life of the soon to be trip that I'm going to take.

Also that dweeb in the picture is my best friend Liam who's going on the foretold trip. I SWEAR I HAVE FRIENDS.... believe me
