You're completely detached from all human relations. You've forsaken friendship for a "good education" The ideal that you follow is institutionalized deindividualization. Do everything that you've been taught. Take advantage of your young age. You'll get handed a wealthy future if you maintain perfect grades. Money can grant you many things, but happiness can't be paid for. A diploma can't relieve tribulation. It can only open doors. The kind that close quickly. Better choose now, or you'll be left wanting. Industrial society with programmed beliefs. Superficial values implanted seamlessly. Fierce leveled heads screwed on too tight. Friendly faces come, and go, shrinking in size. Focused on the horizon, leaving present days behind. Sometimes your aspirations destroy lives. Exchange a future of sentimental memories. Fill your every thought with the craving for prestige. You say time won't change us, but that's not what I've seen. Do you ever ask yourself what the hell you are doing?
