Education and Motivation.

I have just been reading an article about education and motivation and I realised while reading this excellent artical that my own artistic and every other interest Ive had the passion to make a living from has been scuppered by the 'system' we live in! Its the 'system' that drained away all my hopes and dreams and therefore also my motivations by blocking me at every corner I tried to turn or open doorway I tried to step through.

As an accomplished artist I attempted to sell and teach art but was 'not allowed to' due to my situation in life - namely being married to a disabled person who was in receipt of benefits. I studied for 3 years in alternative healing methods - Aromatherapy Body Massage, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Manicure and Cosmetic Makeup all of which, including my Art and Design courses of 3 years duration at Art College gained me qualification after qualification but all came to nothing because I was married to a disabled person and wasnt given the chance by the benefits office to forge a wage earning career from any of it as I tried repeatedly to become Self-Employed to support my family so we ended up having to remain on benefits which subsequently destroyed the marriage.

I still dont know how to 'beat the system' in order to survive but there must be a legal way to do it - somewhere - somehow. I have never been able to break the laws of the land so I remain prisoner to them with all of my earlier motivations gone and my dreams shattered.

Is the payoff for 'civilization' always such a good thing? I personally think not.

The article that set me off questioning is by Dianne Masters and is called 'THE SEDUCTION OF EDUCATION' and can be found in the Autumn 11 Selection UK issue of FHU quarterly journal.

A little about the journal:
