When confronting authority, is there a difference between questioning and doubting? What kinds of institutions do you want around you? Do we seek far more than just a venue that celebrates our leaders and champions of business and culture? Should we hold community sacred spaces that celebrate the lone poet or artist? Should we slow down and learn appreciation for the “finer things” in life? If so, how might we benefit? Along this line of pleasantness... Are there certain social requirements we hold one another to that are ultimately designed for our own good? Is it an impingement on freedom to require young ones to attend school? If one is subsequently punished for noncompliance with this communal standard which is based on a mutually shared goal, should this be viewed as an attempt to hold one down, or bring one up to what we all agree as the minimum standard or “prototype”? I don't think society's insistence that we at least do the bare minimum of what's required of us should ever be confused with pushing you too hard toward excellence. I'd hate for you to actually put forth a real effort toward something and bruise your pinky.
