You should finish it. I'm in a more difficult situation where everything is making it hard to get my degree Honestly whoever comes up and says "It's your own fault you couldn't x,y,z" fuck them The truth is not flawed like humans are

>>51002678 what are you going to do if you don't finish, and how far along are you? if you over half done, you should definitely finish. if not, maybe find something else like a trade or something you would enjoy.

I am not saying be disobedient. I am simply saying when you feel like being obedient, be obedient; when you feel like being disobedient, be true to yourself. Your only responsibility is towards yourself and nobody else. An intelligent person risks. He will be ready to die rather than to compromise. Of course, he will not fight, as Desiderata says, with unnecessary things, with nonessentials - but as far as essentials are concerned he is not going to be obedient. And you have obeyed even about the essentials. What is your belief in God? You have simply obeyed. What do you know about godliness? You have simply obeyed; you have followed your parents, they followed their parents. And parents are happy with unintelligent children because they are obedient -they have to be obedient. They know one thing: that whatsoever they do is bound to be wrong, so it is better to listen to their parents' advice. For thousands of years every society has been telling children to "Respect your parents," because they are afraid of children. Children may not respect their parents. And I am not saying disrespect your parents, I am simply saying the first respect has to be towards yourself. Out of that respect you can respect your parents, your teachers - you can respect everybody. But if you don't respect yourself, your respect for anybody else is going to be pseudo; deep down there will be hatred. Each child hates; deep down he knows that the parents are his enemies. He can see how his intelligence is being cut.
