Spike has been getting along with his cousin Golden Heart. The two are really close. They do things together like playing outside and enjoy time together getting ice cream and things like that. They have a very family bond and are glad to have one another. Spike just woke up, it was time for his daily lessons. He was still a teenager and thus required work in the field of politics and economics. He is planning on becoming a political advisor for the city of Canterlot as he can become that. Many people take such fields in Canterlot when they wish to aid legislators or the public on decision making.
His cousin supports him on his endeavor. And is grateful to have him as a cousin and friend. He is grateful to have her and the two are very close. Which is very good as this means that royalty is starting to become more open once again.
Spike went to make himself presentable as he is the son of royalty after all even if he can’t become a prince himself at least not yet.
He then went to his class where he was learning about philosophy. It was that time of class where they learned about the philosophy of Celestia which Spike was very glad about. He had to at first learn about the original philosophy that stated that each pony belonged to their own race and thus should only love and have relationships with their race of pony. Spike hated that philosophy and the one passed that spoke of love and tolerance only for the ponies. Celestia’s philosophy was different; it spoke of love and tolerance towards everyone no matter their race, species, nationality, sexuality, or sex. It also talked about the fact that all these groups of people have the same level of intelligence and virtues and was thus against the poynundalism philosophy that only saw ponies as those of proper virtue or intelligence. Which Spike was proud of Celestia for saying most ponies are also against that philosophy other than the nobles. Fortunately, the nobles can only deny entry of non ponies and non unicorns in noble positions and in private institutions they can not however, do this in public institutions or any other government area.
Spike quite enjoyed the lecture. It was especially lovely having this class with his friend Shiny Pants son of Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis. Two nobles who actually care about modern ideology and the teachings of Celestia’s philosophy. Rather than twisting their teachings to say things like Celestia supports the rights of all ponies like the other nobles do to their children they said that she supports all people no matter who or what they are.
The stallion even came out as gay and so did Spike. The two are very close friends and the noble parents do not care that he is gay it is not illegal for noble children to marry those of other noble children of the same sex. It is frowned upon and heavily discouraged but they can not be denied their inheritance nor can they have their noble title taken away for doing so.
“Well it seems Celestia has her head screwed on right.” Shiny Pants said.
“Well she is over a thousand years old after all it makes sense that she would have quite a lot of wisdom towards how all species and the like have the same virtue and intelligence.” Spike said.
“I couldn’t agree more know dear Spike would you like to go to Doughnut Joes?” He asked.
Spike smiled of course and went off with his friend happy to have him and the life he would have.
