Allegory of the Ass & the Bull: on education
Society is a farm with assess and bulls. The bull is trained and works well at the plow. The ass is stubborn and kicks all day. The ass and the bull are tethered at the yoke and the only thing that grows is the frustration betwixt both. There should be two bulls: work would get done, rewards would be big, life would be great if the two were agreed. About what is this rhyme?
A part of humanity is lagging behind: we cannot have a farm with everything fine, society hurts until the beast is his best. Between asses and bulls, asses are the most in many ways: most incarcerated, homeless, disaffected, dropouts, victims of violent crime, suicide victims, and die in war. Unless this changes the farm is no more. We can change this we must, on the farm it’s just us.
Can you handle the next chat? Next time we’ll consider a radical farm…hold on to your hat.
