This story is a sequel to The Great Equestrian Administrative Renaissance (or "Twilight Sparkle realises some rather obvious things which were previously elusive")
The School of Friendship has codified and formalised an education of friendship and its properties, allowing for a much more efficient and entertaining way of spreading its magic to the inhabitants of Equestria, and enabling those outside the borders of the kingdom to learn and expand their horizons. The Princess of Friendship herself has managed to foster strong bonds among nations, developing peace, harmony, and prosperity not only for ponies, but for as many creatures as are willing to engage in her dream of a better tomorrow.
But part of living is learning, and that means changing from a position of ignorance to one of enlightenment. That process can be a risk, particularly if the process required for learning is confronting someone's ignorance and presenting them with an opposing point of view. When the opposing point of view comes from someone else's ignorance, sparks can fly.
Inspired by this humorous piece and written as a spiritual sequel to one of my own fics, being set in the same timeline. No additional reading is required to understand this story, though.
Please, ladies and gentlemen, accept this as the joke as which it is written, and don't think I'm trying to write a thesis on any genuine issue. It's some fun writing poking fun at things we've probably all encountered in life, not a rallying cry. There is no hidden message, other than that we can talk and laugh together without falling out.
