ITT: Ideals you had when you were younger that you have since discarded

[AirPumpClock]

"School morality." By this I mean the severe confusion between school rules and morality, i.e. "CHEATIGN IS A SIN ASJKFJSKFAFS." Furthermore, I see that cheating on a test or homework is often the Christian thing to do, since it helps someone who may or may not be able to help themselves (I just trust). Just gotta be sure not to get busted, and that it's not some school where you're required to swear to God not to cheat (I heard of a school once that made you write "JMJ," short for "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph" at the top of tests; glad my school doesn't do that only resorts to some bogus student-invented "Honor Code").

On a less common sense-type note, politeness to a degree. Politeness, I've found, is not always necessary. I still usually stay polite myself, but in some cases all one needs is a little brutal honesty. I do not know if that's a good way to go about things, as I still try to think about whether it's right or wrong in certain situations. Particularly the Internet, with the whole depression/emo/suicide issue with some kids who don't take criticism lightly.

Usually, I find it ok to criticize if it what someone is doing wrong could easily be helped and would not hurt much to say to them. Some people are sensitive, you know.

i guess i would say that i don't really care what people think of me at school.
i used to try to impress a bunch of guys at school and now i just think it was a waste of time considering most of them are jerks anyways.

also i used to think art was a "waste of time" but now art is my life. so i guess that could be a change in me.

[Fireman]

I used to think a lot about existence and all but it got really boring and annoying so I stopped doing that.
Though I seem to be getting happier and happier all the time.

Religion itself, not saying I am a faithless scum but I just have my own idea of what the hell is going to happen with me when I rot.

Both government and anarchy itself, I try to see what is the real order of administration if it ever exists.

Apocalyptic ideas, they just make one right after the deadline of the previous theory is gone. Hey guys so there is this meteor like a fucking million times the distance from here to Andromeda's core and it maybe looks like its going to crash Earth. Next week.

Career ideas as firefighter, cop, astronaut or professor gone down the sewer since I wasnt aware of the risk, requirement, payment or stress.

Otaku and goth ideas were flying in my head, even anthropomorphism, thanks to the internet I am sane. -er.

I would swear there's more but I can't set my mind on it. I am still up to my smokeless life idea though.

I feel like I could film a movie about this.

Sweet fuck-all when it comes to "ideals" from when I was all-knowing. I've been bettering my understanding of the world along the way, and along with it the complexity and scope of these ideals I hold. I'm more of a realist, though.

corporate control, blame whitey, war is a bad thing, organized religion is a bad thing, Europe is a wonderful and progressive place, and damn near every other stupid idea middle school kids have when they think they understand the world.

..? You consider these to be stupid ideas? I consider these to be very consistent with the real world.  And.. uh.. what's wrong with animal rights?
