        And the reason people stop shining like the sun is because they’re ticking away the moments that make up the dull day. Frittering and wasting the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in their hometown. Waiting for someone or something to show them the way.

      The playing field is not equal so it isn’t reasonable to hold people to the same standard of making an impact.

      Totally agree, except for school being better. Fuck school, from the bottom of my heart. Now I at least have the freedom to allocate some free time for my self and work on 1 thing that I understand. Not do homework for a million unrelated classes until my teachers stops bullying me or I kick the bucket.

          Idk, I decided to not work on Fridays (a 20% pay reduction, but I personally feel it’s worth it) and there are like 50 weeks in a year, coupled with 5 weeks of payed vacation, since I only work 4 days that’s 50+5*4=70, which is over 2 months. And since I have no homework I can actually fucking enjoy my vacation and long weekends too!

          It just dawned on me I’m assuming you have the same work benefits as in Europe… If you live in a country that’s not blue than YIKES! I feel sorry for ya.

            “Minimum mandatory” is doing some distortion here. There are countries where the vacation days can only be reduced with extra payments.

            I believe a much larger share of the world will fall into the last category if you focus on “number of vacation a person can expect to have at no cost if they want it”. The 30 days is kinda of a standard.
