You know, instead of feeling jealous or insecure that I have an education and you don't, you could actually do what I did and get a loan and go back to school. Because one thing I learned from pursuing an education was that you can't just look at a situation from your own narrow point of view. Instead, you are taught how to walk completely around a subject and see it from all points of view. In fact, in some classes you had to write two opposing views to the same issue. And by learning to do that, you learn to understand where people are coming from and you finally let go of those constraints and ideas and notions that you carry with you about other people. And then you are more open minded, understanding, and less inclined to automatically judge them without all of the pertinent facts, you know, as you have clearly done here with me. I mean, you haven't read my writing except for this kind of stuff - and yet you've decided to criticize it and decide it's poor writing because of what you assumed was my comment. And why did you say these mean things? Because you don't have an education. Obviously, or you wouldn't have raised it as an issue, no one with one would because they know the struggle they went through to get it. But you know, like I said, you can get one. Obviously you DO want one or you wouldn't be mad that I do, AND that I proudly proclaim it. (However in Bill's case I was establishing liability) - I've been through hell and back in my life and I'm very proud of my degrees, especially since I only had a G.E.D. when I started. It's a damn good feeling to make such an accomplishment and I highly recommend it! It is never too late to get an education! I hope that in the future you learn to take a more open mind to people and not lash out at them because you feel insecure. I'm not any better than you - I set a goal and I achieved it. If I can make it through college - believe me, ANYONE can do it. So go for it! Go get whatever it is you want. You can do it! You can! :smile:
