whenever i heard the bourgeois and proletariat talk about psle, streaming, o level, a level, it resonates crazily in my head.

idiotic.

true, they call me upper class. but i'm feeling sick. do we need to stratify ourselves by education level? once again, does education decide our strata, decide whether we are more worthy a human? if u say yes, haha. maybe u're beyond repair.

say that i'm idealistic, dreamy, having lofty ideals. but this is really a cause for consternation. of course i shldn't forget the reality: 钱不是万能的,但是没钱,万万不能。 sure, in here, we need a certain level of education to get a decent or even minimal standard of living so that we're not hungry and so that we don't roam the dustbins for food.

but i think the divide between education levels has been too exacerbated. we need to fix it. i wldn't dare say i'm a full progressive, neither am i a conservative. but it seems a reform is required IF we don't want things to stay this way. if the consensus is on this stratified way of life, den, haha, i'm fine wif it. i rather have an invisible strata where ppl appreciate each other for their roles in the society, over an overt one where ppl lament or despise each other over their different educational attainment.
