Or Else . . . You're Screwing Yourself
A lot of people struggle as they battle with their conditioning.
I'm a believer that from the time we were little, we've been conditioned to but to be "nice" obedient people-- to work in systems and show no individuality.
I remember being brought the kindergarten by my Mom, introduced to my teacher and is the two of them brought me over to my table, beings told something like, "I'll be back later. This is Miss Judge. Do wish he tells you to do, okay?"
It didn't take long for the school system to translate that into, "shut up. Be quiet. Do what you told. Learn what we tell you to learn. Regurgitate a bunch of it on command... Or else."
The or else translates into, "you won't get good grades and into a good college."
