why do i have to wake up every morning to go to school?
why do i have to go to college?
why do i have to get a job?
why do i have to make a loan to buy a house?
why do i have to get married?
why do i have to have kids?

i know i need a job to make money in order to survive but why is that the only option?

i feel like i have no control what-so-ever of my life. and i know im going to get responses like "dont go to work and live on the streets then" people say that because it is true, i am destined to live a life i dont want, to live a life of school and work until im dead.

How do i get out of this cycle?

Fairy lived in the forest and loved to fly.
Then one day she found she could fly no more and began to cry.
When her eyes did dry, she began wondering the forest in search of why.
She came across a talking hat, leather with brown dye.
Her only thought was oh my.
The hat said, “come nigh, I will tell you why you can no longer fly.”
The fairy sat on a log near by.
“A mean witch took your ability to fly. She lives atop a tree very high.
Be careful, this witch is mean and sly.”
The fairy’s’ only reply, “Then she will have to die.”
“And how will you do this,” the hat tried to pry.
“I will poison her pie.”
She pulled from her pocket a broken wand she had found in the rye.
She cast a spell pointing the wand toward the sky.
The fairy said to the witch bye bye.
The mean witch ate the poisoned pie, yes, she did die and for her no one would ever cry.

My English teacher in prep school told our class in 1947 that he knew Madame Shoumatoff, who was painting the president's portrait at the Little White House in Warm Springs, Ga., where FDR died, and that she had told him the president shot himself and that she had seen his body slumped over the desk with a pistol in his hand. I'm aware that Madame Shoumatoff's memoirs make no mention of this, but the teacher, now deceased, was a well-respected and honorable man and wouldn't have made this up. I don't expect anyone to accept my unverified hearsay account, but perhaps someone else can add pertinent information. I might add that if the ailing president did take his own life, this in no way should detract from his reputation as president and wartime leader.

I saw the movie 'Caligula' with Malcolm McDowell and there was an interview with him on the DVD. The actor made a good point about how we interpret ancient texts. He said Caligula had many enemies and the history of his reign was written by people who were against him and his rule. McDowell had a soft spot for Caligula, and interpreted his character as a young man who inherited ultimate power and became idealistic, wanting to end corruption in Rome by humiliating and executing those in high positions. However, it is also possible he was mad, or simply sadistic, and that's waht brought people against him. Is there anyway to know the truth about Caligula?
