Awards

[ViviMasterMage]

It's scary when people get bitter about them though. I sometimes wish everyone could win a little something you know? So no bad feelings!

So, you think that everyone could get a consolation prize? That's a good idea but isn't the whole idea of awards to make the person feel special and show their accomplishments. If everyone gets an award, nobody feels special and the whole feel of the awards goes away.

I think that awards are great. I don't like receiving them because I always do something embarrassing when I'm stood up like wave to and fro with my hands behind my back like Rikku or something. I'm so girlish but that's not an issue.

On the other hand, not getting an award doesn't effect me because award in my school are for mostly doing extra-curricular stuff or going somewhere. I think that they're just there so that under-achieving kids will try to achieve more and try harder at what they are doing because it's normally people that are like that who get the awards. I've been told that by my Law teacher, too! She said that she would pick me for the awards every week but she wants other kids to feel like they're doing really well. Maybe she was lying to me? I don't know.

Nah, I don't think everyone should get a consolation prize and it's still a 'consolation' prize.. I just feel sorry for those who lose out you know?

As a seriously competitive person I love awards haha! But yes, I still think of others feelings


Oh Question!:

What about if the system is corrupt? Then surely awards are evil eh?

Yeah, I get what you mean! But eventually, you have to experience what it's like to lose something, you know?

Who would corrupt school awards? That's just petty isn't it? But if you're on about stuff like the Emmys or something then I get what you mean. Aren't all awards evil anyway. If you look right, you can see that even 2000 years ago, people got pissed off at other people's achievements.

Didn't the Emperor Nero or whatever his name was kill Jesus because he was jealous of him and his publicity. I know that it was also because he was spreading the word of Christanity and he did that but there was some jealousy on the side.

Most things are caused by envy and awards brings envy so in turn, awards are evil. I'll turn it into a equation.

Awards = Envy
Envy = War/Conflict
Conflict = Bad
Therefore, Awards = Bad
