What's worth Knowing

A man name Neil Gaiman once said. “I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

In my opinion this is a very meaningful quote and it reminds me of many things that I believe are worth knowing.  Something that is worth knowing is whether heaven is real or not, whether you give up after love, or whether when things do get so bad people never already know which is the correct path to take. Even though you have to believe and just trust in yourself and others in most of these topics, I think that there should be some sort of knowing and proof whether if things are real or not and knowing how to cope with deep emotions; however you will never know, because we are never taught.

Heaven is the place of your future, the paradise land you will be when you die. Love is finding your life-long partner your one and true friend. Loosing someone you deeply care about, puts you in your lowest point. How do you deal with these type of great, confused and crushed emotions? This is where you are stuck because you don't know how. Kids sit in school for 6 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for 12 years. Yes, some of things we learn in school are helpful but about 80% of this knowledge is just forgotten, whether it’s over summer of just later in life. With all that time we should actually learn about the things that we will be worth knowing like the ones said above, just for example. Without knowing and learning these some of our "unknown" feelings can cause depression and other terrible things that you were never taught to handle. It is worth knowing what is real and how to manage yourself so you don't live your life in suspense and/or steering yourself toward the wrong directions. To conclude the only things that we were taught to know were for schoolwork. Never for real-life events that will happen in the future.

Many things are worth knowing yet they cannot be taught by me because I am just a child. However something’s that are worth knowing and should be taught are lessons like, how do we become a content, moral person that is still accepted by others? I feel that teachers shy away from this topic because it’s on a deeper aspect and could really affect someone personally.  Not always everyone is accepted for themselves even though they are the best people they can be. Why don’t we know how to deal with that? That’s right we don’t! So my advice is that teacher’s should talk about this to their students because they are curious and it something worth knowing!
