Girls and School

If at any time in the last 3 years someone were to ask me what's wrong, girls and school would probably have been the answer. Or, in the few occasions where my frustration could not be reduced to girls and school, girls and school probably still found its way into the confusion. This term was no exception. Girls and school consistently get me down. How can I free myself from the turmoil, set here in front of me?

"All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security, and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and fear. Such a trainign must inevitably bring confusion and misery to ourselves and the world, for it creates in each indivisual those psychological barriers which separate and hold him apart from others."
-Krishnamurti, "Education & The Significance of Life"

"Girls of the world aint nothin' but trouble!"
-Will Smith, aka Fresh Prince, "Girls aint nothin' but trouble."

All better! Inspiration can be found around every corner.

Actually, I shouldn't act as though I'm really that shallow. I suggest everyone read Krishnamurti with an open heart, and not as a means of getting over personal frustrations by making excuses for themselves. It's a good read, but a bit repetative.

Also, despite all evidence to support it, I still have faith in the belief that girls are not actually the direct spawn of evil, put on this earth to collectively destroy the beauty and piety of men and their souls.

P1: Hell is hot, too hot for the devil to have, or care about having, nice hair.
P2: Girls have, and care about having, nice hair
--
Conc: Girls are not the devil. (According to Leibniz's law of identity)

The above argument is one of my few remaining arguments in defense of the sanctity of female kind. I'm hoping for a stronger argument to come around.
