Some ideas I had when I was riding a jeep home from school one night.
~~~~~~~
When adults see you giving food to a beggar, they'll call you a saint.
If they hear you question why there are beggars who have nothing to eat and rich people who have everything, they call you a communist.
When they see you going to church every Sunday, follow traditions and ceremonies (though you were only forced to go), they'd call you pious.
When you ask where these came from and what their bases are, they'd call you a faithless heretic.
When they see you studying for a profession, they call you intelligent and industrious.
When they see you studying for a passion, they call you an impractical idiot.
When kids fight over the ownership of something they found on the street, adults will tell them to share.
When adults fight over the ownership of something, they'd rather kill than share.
