learn to unlearn

we learn at school that's it's quite okay to cheat. no one will hang you to die if you do.
we learn from young age that students whose parents are actively involved in the school committee got all the perks. and they could even got better marks than they actually made. we learn that they can have better spots at school plays, sport events, etc.
we learn that sometimes mothers purposedly jump queue and grab whatever it is in front of them for their children. their children come first, no matter what.
we learn that school teaches us to not litter, but litter we do and no body would punish us.
we learn to pay not the school fee but the 'voluntary donation' to school in order for our children to get enrolled
we learn to conform to the uniform, the color or our shoes, the length of our socks, etc etc. to be different is not desirable.

we learn that religion is something people wear. it's an identity they put up. it's not something personal and intimate.

we learn that in this country, it's better to use agents to process some government-related documents coz doing it yourself would just be a lost of more time, energy, and yes - money, too
we learn so much that those in tivi are not to be trusted, yet they are what we are supposedly elect as our representatives
we learn to see all politicians as bullshitters

we learn everywhere that money, and those who have them, would almost always win
we learn in this beloved contry, poverty is a curse

now try and unlearn those things.
good luck!
