Stumped! googlied! run out! (Inzamam Ul Haq style where u had no idea how could you get run out!) %^&*( %^&*( *()_+ ....>!!!!!
I mean, I am speechless it feels like I've grown in a Truman show where I was asked to believe in a particular world, and it turns out absolutely opposite!!!! OK. I will try to explain as much as I can, but beyond this I cannot do anything. Use your imagination, logic, background knowledge or what ever you want to use to get decipher what I want to say.
Hmm. clue number one. remember the moral science class? remember the course we covered? and remember the course we did not cover???
So the thing is, that the course we never covered was always assumed that we will cover by ourselves. Although, there were expectations all around you to know the course and score well in it, if there was a question asked.
Where were the questions asked? Right here!!! in real life!!!!!! God Damn!!! And what used to happen?? The questions were always ALWAYS out of course!!!! So there you are, who was not taught some particular chapters earlier, and then was indirectly told that everyone assumed that you knew the chapters and not only that, they also told you that every one in your batch knew the same stuff and therefore was expected to behave the same way. That was at least an assumption that you took with a sigh of relief, that the playing field is level.
5 years hence. You are in the real world with the education imparted to you at school, and home (most importantly), trying to find your place under the sun. To elaborate, now you are out there, (clue number two) trying to live your life socially, professionally, biologically, and ethically. And while you are trying to balance yourself on all the above mentioned ...ally's, you have nothing but those lessons you learnt in school.
So here is the meat. The lessons that you are using to balance your ...ally's with, include the lessons you never learnt in the first place!!!!!
So one fine day I am out in the big bad (really?) world, and I suddenly realize that other peers from my generation aren't even following the same rules!!!!! WHAT??? am I like the biggest C***** in the world to have believed what the 'others' wanted me to believe????
U know what it feels like? it feels as if u were fined a fortune by a traffic cop for having the wrong design of number plate (yes it happens), who later you found out was a fake!!!
I hope the clues helped you find out what I am talking about, or when u do find it out the hard way, lemme know... :(

I, being a sincere student, was always told to learn everything even if it was out of course and was not covered. kya pata kab kya kaam aa jae.
FYI, they were right:)
I empathise with u man....i suffered and am still suffering in a land where kids stop following the rukes at 12

I have been a science student and I think and understand in terms of physics, maths and binary. English and moral science is urdu to me.
But what I could make out of this lesson was that if you are trying to teach us something(with this article) and that everything we are taught is just for timepass; the learnings from this article wont apply to us.
Thanks anyways for sharing your frustration.
Stumped too!!!!!
Stumped at being out of crease.
Stumped at not being able to turn back soon.
Stumped at being slow.
So slow that did not even understand the googly of the ball that came down a curved path.
Still Stumped!!!
And that's OUT!!!
kya hai ye?
@kapil: i think what you are referring to is called liar's paradox...
I have another clue just for u : I am not talking about the 'morals' that were taught in the moral science class... If it was that simple I wouldn't have written a blog on it anyways :P
