The Institution
I am uncertain as to whether or not this has been an individual observation, but I believe that I have been the victim of injustice. I am uncertain, as to whether I am complaining and whining without justification, but this is my indefatigable belief.
Inexorably, it seems as though the legitimacy of my life has vanished. I originally possessed every intention to express these sentiments utilizing gratuitous bombast, but this is only manner in which I can appropriately impart my emotions.
At times, it is often difficult to remember that when one is considered for admittance to a bevy of honorable and distinguished institutions, one must maintain at least one ulterior principle in mind, or renounce all rationalization and general well-being: that one is not the institution to which one applies. One is not the institution. The institution is not them. They are separate and distinct entities. The terms "individual" and "institution" are simply not interchangeable.
The proverbial "institution" is nothing more than a physical establishment, as opposed to a intellectual haven: it has been propagated and actualized by a coalition of distinguished and privileged professionals, whose internal will of educating the masses has been manifested by its construction, and thus serves a legitimate purpose. The ideals and virtues so revered and admired by the establishment should not reflect that of your own. Often, in times of exasperation and desperation, one does not readily recognize the distinction between the two entities because one so longs to belong to it. I am culpable of committing said crime.
When one's plea for admission is mercilessly rejected by said institution, what remains? If the response is "nothing", then one must modify one's melancholia in favor of something more jovial: one must proclaim and assert themselves as the individual they are.
One's acceptance or denial into a prestigious institution should not define oneself as an individual. All human nature is boundless and inequitable in nature. One's constitution is unique and transcends all labels and attributes.
I no longer consider myself a victim of injustice, merely because I live upon the mere hope of garnering acceptance towards a prestigious institution. That cannot be my sole purpose of existing, of remaining alive and extant.
I must declare this manifesto to anyone with a lending ear.
