A FREE WORLD (1.2)

Last time I referred to this rigid structure we face in society.

A great example of something like this, is the education system. Now don’t get my wrong the systems great, productive, I’m in it, going through it, and wouldn’t have myself doing anything else. The point is, that a rigid structure as necessary as it might seem narrows us as people. You go to school, you’re a child and you get confronted with what you’re good at, bad at, who you are, what you should do, your aims and goals in life. All of these centering around materials, and competition in which is actually quite evidently as unfair system as it stands. There is no brenth, you either conform and fit the ideal image, targets or what so ever, or you don’t. There is a real absence of actual choice, you think you can determine your future but it's still really likely you’ll end up in a very mainstream profession.


The concept is a one way street, it doesn’t stimulate the mind to reach out. It doesn’t let you or encourage you to be anything more than you’ve ever been told. The standard product from a school, good as it might be to the right pupil, is dull and worthless in society. If you take examples of great figures, they’re often lose cannons, clever but different, that difference that makes them so inspirational, that ability of real intelligence that’s disappeared it seems to question and really for youself, surely that’s more valuable and in turn would add more to society opposed to just retaining information. I guess it’s a fine balance between how many thinkers and how many simple doers you have or want, and it’s a fair argument it cannot work with the doers. Although in saying that I still maintain the bar can be raised on what do and their capabilities. The failing system in most cases, is of such small brength that is never realises the potential of most people; to the highest extend, perhaps due to the linear structure of school. There appears to be no room for variation, everyone grouped together, no room for variation so vital. It doesn’t touch anywhere near our potential, the scary myth was once we only use 10% of our brains, and science shows that almost the whole brain is used for some of the most basic tasks, however when thinking or resting ironically we only use 10% of the brains power, in fact that’s almost besides the issue, people don’t think, or aren’t encouraged to think independently outside their own bubble enough.


It’s not a free world, we're not really free in this system to realise our potential, think and act, be individual, build on ideas or do something quite usually remarkable.

Truth is, in this free world where we can do as we wish, none of us are free from this systematic world and being pushed through the same system presenting the list above as motivators and why and what we do things for, that’s the sad news, and we were meant to live for so much more. Although I am unbelievably sure the best things are done, achieved and realised when we ourselves, our own faces recognised as individual as we all are amongst 6 Billon others, when our own goals and identities. Left alone from these commodities above the richest things are achieved, when we want to do something, when there’s no need for a materialistic reward.


Now you must be thinking, well yes this all sounds good, but really common what could I do to be different? That’s just how it is. To be frank that proves my point, this ideal lifestyle is not easy to achieve, so it’s not really a free world afterall.
