Most parents see college or university as a path to paradise, in which is not the case. Money has become our official religion, industrial civilization has created an illusion that if we take certain initiatives, we will have success. That path is pretty narrow for us, go to college, get a degree, get a 9 to 5, get married, get ahead by accumulating the most wealth, have children and die. Does the student these days have time to think what they want in life? Or are we just part of someone else's plan?
Here is my story, I have recently gone by to college to take a few courses. The first few weeks I demostrated the usual exuburance of a returning student, as week goes by, the intellectual curiosity dwindles. I used to read an hour a day leisurely, but due to the college cirrculem, I am unable to do this anymore. I am forced to cram my brain with knowledge and the lack of interest. I am sure many feel the same when going to school, but none take a stand, why? Because media and our parents tell us if we can go through with education, we can be qualified for society. In the end, we are a bunch of sheeps being herded like livestocks. |
