RE: Reflections on society by a rebeller
You would "...already be in Africa building schools..."
Teaching them what, pray tell? You may need to think this through just a little more :-)
Your anger may be a little displaced.
"Your anger may be a little displaced."
That is an observation worth pondering. Where might your anger be more profitably directed? Perhaps at whatever is keeping you in bondage to what you are dissing. Society is certainly deserving of negative criticism, but perhaps that is merely shaking your fist at the tide until you have looked inside first and asked yourself why you built your home on a flood plane.
I'm really sorry.
My post was not directed to anyone or anything , and it was not meant to hurt or cause harm. I am pointing fingers ar society, and it was the purpose of the post. I can understand that from an outsider's viewpoint, it can come off as rude, and I'm deeply sorry because I never intended to be this way. The ones who are close to me know how respectful I am as a person, and it does not show in this post who I am.
@onceuponatime I agree with you. In regards to this anger being displaced or the interpretation of society feeling this way because main stream media emphasizes this perception.
@steemityourway If anything ignore Vouge, Fashion Week, and so on that force these high impossible beauty ideals that you might have referenced society being influenced under or following after which most normal people don't pay interest in because they are putting in the work to be better informed citizens, hard-working white or blue collared workers, or just taking care of themselves and family.
Africa does have meritorious natives that with their own sacrafice, hard work, and extremely underpaid labor build schools for orphan children of Africa (some children that have been persecuted for being "witch children" that were forced out of their village or away from their families because they can be killed for being thought to be a witch and they are housed by these people), so if anything they need people to talk about some of the social problems that occur. Who are the culprits behind this persecution of children (babies are not spared)? Alleged self-proclaimed preists that get paid from already third world poor familes to perform an exorcism for them to be socially accepted again into a village and not killed. Just a tiny thought.
Also, I know you most likely meant no harm at least I hope so but your word choice was a bit poor and felt agressive when you keep saying "you're, you, you'll" it brings a very condescending tone to your reader where you can't help but feel slightly offended. Constructive feed back for you to reflect on so you can choose your pronouns better. Better word choices could have been "At times some people believe or care for these things when they shouldn't". Also, "this nasty world is beating you to your knees and it's working" that word choice just makes a reader feel like you're angry in general with everyone and us (& that never will feel nice).
And in my personal opinion if you can put a point across without profanity that just means you are capable of explaining your topic profoundly.
I hope in the future you use better pronoun choices that way your readers can understand you a bit better.
Supporting the principle of education doesn't mean you need to have a detailed curriculum. It's like if you agree that you should go on a holiday but don't plan every single detail of the holiday. Government policy makers usually allocate a certain amount if funding to education but what is taught, where schools are built, how they are run, etc are determined by other committees and panels set up to manage the low-level details.
