Four Twenty: Emancipation Sublimation

Alright,
Here stop.
Let me interject for a moment. Not that your speech is not filling me with the pride to go work hard, but there is just one thing that I think you should know. I understand you. The words you speak, I understand them perfectly the first time you say them. You do not have to repeat your point using slightly different words, over and over again. I understand. So can we move on?

Understanding.

People who lack understanding are my least favorite people. And just because you did not go to school does not mean you do not understand, and vise versa. There is no such thing as common knowledge, there is no universal knowledge base that everyone draws from. There is however understanding, and understanding what is common is key to success for a great many people. This understanding of common things creates cultural pockets, within regional pockets, within global pockets. Experience gained in these pockets leads to an understanding of what is common there. The more pockets you expose yourself to the wider your base of understanding will be.

The difference between ignorance and hate is knowing what it is like, to be in the skin of the thing you hate, and feel no empathy.

Understanding what you need to do, to be successful, and doing it.
