my conscience takes the form of jeannie from hair.
Conscience: i can't believe you're doing this. you're letting the system get to you. you are willingly thinking like a robot.
Me: school is supposed to teach you how to think like a robot, so when you get a job that requires that, youll know what to do.
Conscience: so thats what you want? you want to rot away in some mind-numbing job your whole life?
Me: no, i want to be able to change the world somehow.
Conscience: you cant fix the system by participating in it.
Me: yes, you can. look at harvey milk.
Me: ok, bad example.
Me: but still. its easier to fix things if you know how. you cant fix anything by sitting around doing nothing.
Conscience: being happy is not nothing.
Me: saying that its ok to sit and be happy while other people are suffering is just selfish.
Conscience: there is no hope for you, straight kid.
