be you house

someone came into the be you house yesterday. wondering if we could help them with their ged or transcript. i'm guessing their age was upper 20's.
when i asked why they wanted a ged or transcript.. they said..

they told me that would mean i'm educated..

we spend too much time fixing things that aren't even necessary things. we're convinced that what people say (have been saying) is what is best.
we need to be about respectfully questioning everything. so that we can start doing things that matter.

what if 75% of transcripts/diplomas represent a false statement? do they? could they?
per youth i've been working with, they suggest 75% either cheat or cram before tests, so that one/two weeks later, their brain has no growth in regard to what that paper work stands to represent. and it's not just kids in school, it's everywhere. perhaps it's a coping mentality - because in our souls we know that much of it is bunk.

let's bag the time we spend on documentation to prove ourselves.
let's spend that time on getting to know people. getting to know ourselves.
let's spend that time finding what we can't not do.
let's become indispensable.
away with the papers of pretense.
no?
