This picture is a representation of society. The pencil, someone with a point to get across, is surrounded by pointless people, erasers. These people are not there to help the pencils see their dreams come to fruition. The erasers would rather destroy any idea that is different from the normal thought process that everyone else has. To me this picture describes school 100% accurately. We are push through the school system and are taught to be basic which nulls our brain. School doesn’t promote strong minded individuals to grow with creativity and their imagination. It instead compromises the confidence of those extraordinary individuals by forcing them to hide their creativity and promise. After their confidence is compromised they are bullied into taking menial jobs to survive. The construct of American society is extremely flowed. Why don’t we get taught about our personality type? Why don’t we get taught to maximize our potential by using our personality at work? Why aren’t we taught to be different? The school system has worked the exact same way from when it was created which is terrible. A society that refuses to adapt, chooses to die. So we need to evolve as a country and teach the pencils how the differences they have can be great instead of destroying their ideas. We also need to teach the erasers to accept the pencils and help them to succeed in life.
