Society always has a ready-made list for us: how we should behave, what we should achieve, whom we should follow, and so on. But the more we try to fit into frameworks that aren’t ours, the more we lose ourselves; and the more we resist, the greater the external pressure becomes.

That's the reason why I don't like the current educational system. There's no freedom in it. Children are taught to feel comfortable being slaves. It's awful!
