Make it stop

[matrixmann]

It's tough of a deal to watch comrades dying away, not being able to treat their wounds, to soothe their anger and hate, and to stop them from committing actions which prove to be senseless in the end...

Well, knowing how to control different things is part of being educated. So, I agree. No person is born with ideas ready in their head to pop. This is what idealism suggests. Instead you learn things from environment, from what other people left as legacy and then you form your ideas and not the other way around.

Legacy to build on, which mistakes not to make and so on, I know.
But what comes after it?
Often I think like "there's so much lack of knowledge how things work - more lack than knowledge at all", and that sometimes makes you commit mistakes. Because you imagine this or that helps, but it doesn't, you think of yourself as mega-important that the world's gonna orientate itself by you, but it truly is not going to.
Say... You just think things work by the easy way, and you deeply believe in it, but the truth is, it totally doesn't do so. But the belief is going to make you run into one direction that is damned to fail from the beginning - because things don't factually work this way, if you want to achieve a certain goal.
