The world is a lie

When someone tells you that you shouldn't be anyone other than yourself, that itself is a lie.
When someone tells you that you shouldn't compare youself to others, that itself is a lie.
How are these all lies when they could be easily be told as the truth? Why?
The simple truth is something that is right in front of you. School.
Why is it that children need to be sent to these 'specialized' facilities just for the reason of learning about the world beyond us. Why not just throw your kids out there like how they did in the olden days and let them learn for themselves through suffering that still exists today?
School is a place of comparism where you participate in activities in order to 'annihilate' everyone else or your opponents in the future.
Report cards, papers with lies that can never be regarded evenly when one is placed side by side to another. All just something written without truth.
Resumes, an dishonest account of what you've done in the world.

The world is a place where being yourself is not measured. Not counted. Not even considered.
It's in a world like this where suffering remains and greed and favouritism overcomes all.

How is it that we want to become 'good'? When we exist in a 'bad' (sorry, I can't really say evil at this point. For there is no definition of justice, good, evil etc.) place.

School-a place of lies where you can never be yourself.

This is a wonderful site that reflects almost exactly what I'm talking about; I'm just not as thorough.
