Have you thought of why are we keep asking for more and keep working hard to get more? I mean think of an ordinary human's life... As soon as he or she is ready to go to school, the parents will send the child to school. Say for the next 18 years, the child will spend most of his or her time studying to get ready for the future. Now the child is nor longer a child and by then she or he will be about 25 years old. Now that the degree is achieved, the person could possibly start a family or not; it does not matter either way as he or she will spend most of his or her time working. The person will work until he or she is able to work (If he or she is lucky to keep a job). After that, the person will be old and that is a sign of death.
So basically as we can see, a normal human being spends 2/3 or his or her life on education and work to survive. Is this fair? Can't we live our lives better and in a happier way? Of course we can if we follow the right path....
Now you might ask what is the right path? I can not tell you a path that is right because I have not been to that path myself. We are all stuck to the same routine that humans are going. We need a change and a big one. We all need to work towards that change so that at least our children or their children have a better world than we do.
The governments nowadays fight and the politics around the world is so disgusting... I mean if you look at our world, all we can see is pain ans wane. Everyone is so selfish and most with so many different faces. Is this what education do to us, or is this what work does to us, or more importantly the society we live at make us like that? I am not sure what the answer is, but we there has to be a way to make a change in our lives.
If we see children of war-torn countries, it suggests how terrible our world is. If we see women of developing nations, we realize how mean our world is. If we look at the faces of helpless fathers, we understand that life is nothing much than pain around the earth.
As we can see, our path is wrong. Or at least what we do in our world is wrong because it does not work. Only so many people get to have a better life, but in general we are basically screwed.....
If you consider yourself educated, maybe you should take a minute and think of our world and think of how to make it better for everybody not just for yourself and your family. Like I stated earlier, we need a change, and a big change.
Cordially,
