It’s the academic system’s fault for leaving us empty and cynical. And it’s nature’s fault for making the majority of us stupid, weak and/or lazy. I think everyone who wants to cheat should cheat and everyone who doesn’t should make his peace and just feel good about whatever’s stopping him be it morals, squeamishness and incompetence, or apathy. Why fight it? Useless.

Basically the material is 98% trivia, the process is boring, and people are people. Mind your own moral beeswax when it comes to stupid things like high school. Who the **** cares if you’re not valedictorian anyway? Life goes on. Stop being so insecure. Success ultimately comes from within, right? Go exercise if you’re so steamed up.

The people relating this to overall morality and all the ills that afflict humanity/have afflicted us since the dawn of time… you’re like… totally off topic and out of this thread’s scope, I think.
