No role models, no morals

I have a hard time with arrogance, and people kicking over unsolicited half-knowledge to me.

I have a hard time thinking of "what I want to do with my life," ...when what I've done until now has only been what has "happened" in my life. I have a hard time believing that I need to "figure out what to do with my life" or that I'm not already doing what I need to. The fact is, these things are already happening...I figure things out and I do what I need to do. The belief that I need to do something assumes the fact that I'm not already engaged in it. I could care less if someone has ten degrees or went to school for eighty years, the fact is that I know more than anyone going to school for any length of time could possibly say they know because they went to school. How's that for arrogance? Time itself is relative, so what does anything except absolute time have to do with anything?...I may just die tomorrow. I always wondered how people could spend x number of hours researching or doing this or that. It sounds as though people are doing more calculating of how they spend their own time on pointless rambling...than doing anything productive. If you go to school...chances are you are either paying for it by performing some disservice and/or you were simply convinced that it is "the thing to do" (the right thing to do). If not, you may actually have some chosen path of your own, and then...who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to "figure out the rest of your life" at the expense of others?...and what gives anyone the right to belittle others for not following in ignorantly placed foot steps? We all have physical demands or responsibilities, and we all experience some form of stress...some have way more of either than others. Because one person has been lacking in their ability to answer physical demands in life...doesn't mean that they lack anything, it could very well mean that the stress is too great and is causing this lack of effort...or, more accurately, is causing wasted efforts. Intelligence can prove useless to people if their knowledge is extremely stressful to them. So then, this hypothetical person may simply be too stressed or alone in this world, without anyone to relate to...imagine. The person may also be dealing with so much stess, and be surrounded by such grim attitudes seated in the false beliefs of others, that they fail to see a point in performing the physical duties that life "demands." These are not failures in that person, period...if anything, it is the failure of other people. These people deserve their dignity, they need no lessons. They already suffer at the hands of others ignorance, so how else could they be compensated besides giving them respect and dignity? There is no such way...positive reinforcement is a false concept motivated by masses of people performing actions that have no positive consequences. Positive reinforcement is only set up to take advantage of others, set up for situations with negative outcomes. For example, if a coach wanted to be "fair" and positively reinforce a student for their efforts in some type of sport....where is the potentially positive outcome? I'd say that even the possible building up this student's pride has no consequences that are meaningful whatsoever. It is still just wasted time, at the expense of others. I don't care if someone has pride in themselves because they, at one time, had this privlege of playing a sport. The end result is meaningless, and why shouldn't it be?...the end result, by definition, comes at the end and has not happened yet.
