Social Institutions: The Journey to ‘nowhere’
If 1% of all University Graduates achieve corporate executive status in their lives then I reckon that that’s a fair assumption. The others at best earn a relatively decent salary. Yet they too are tied down and are pretty much Not Financially Free.
Their income matches their expenditure, if it is not too little most of the time. They HAVE to work, just like everyone else. Am I trying to say that Work is Bad? Not at all! Each individual follows their own path… some happy, others miserable…
Their life journey pretty much ‘interrupted’…
Jobs can get pretty hectic though. See below. I’m not quite sure why we do this to ourselves?? Enjoy the laugh too…
We would all want to have the freedom to enjoy more time with our loved ones and engaging in our favorite hobbies. Not to mention having sufficient spending money to spoil one’s family every once in a while, taking long vacations abroad and not feeling continually stressed out, etc etc.
This (below pic) is Definitely Not a Healthy Lifestyle. Were we meant to journey through life like this?
Unfortunately this is the lot of the Majority of Workers. From the manual to the blue collar ones. Is it an accident? You tell….
Education Institutions meant to serve are coming short. The curriculum churns out half breeds who are weak at Maths and even weaker at reading and writing. Instead we are encouraged to follow the path of Rote Learning. Get high marks. No Mistakes please! You are then automatically classified as clever. What parrots we are.
Alternatively break loose and Journey away from the rest
Has Your Journey been Hijacked?
Our Imagination as kids are unfortunately stifled. We are not allowed to make mistakes and learn from it. Neither to explore, give vent to our natural God given impulses and built in faculty to discover solutions and take on challenges!
Instead you are merely required to accept what is dished out. Ask No Questions.
And History? Who decides what brand/version has to be passed along to posterity? The decision makers sure has a field day shaping our world view.
Due to being uninformed we merely tag along, accepting what corporations and departments of state dish out….
The journey (of the average citizen) leads pretty much down a dead alley…. I, for one, joined the crowd too! A ‘happy’ facade of sport enthusiasts (mostly spectators) who enjoyed little to no exercise at all. Don’t mention the debate around the Daily News.
Be it from the electronic or print media. All done under the assumption that what is churned out is mostly beyond question. All journalists after all are serving No Master besides the Absolute Truth!
Is The Journey All Doom and Gloom?
Not at all! Amazingly the solutions to most challenges are often Simple. So simple that the majority of individuals would more often than not respond to it with suspicion. We are used to being confronted with ‘complicated’ phenomena.
It possibly lends itself to an air of sophistication? Yet, complicated equals added confusion.
Do not even mention the fact that in many a deal you get screwed over so many times that Trusting the Real Deal becomes a huge effort.
Comes along Empowerment… A Master Stroke in Simplicity where resources are pooled and help is offered to All in order to succeed.
Indeed many hands make light work. When All buy into the same Mindset and show unwavering Commitment. Join me on a common Path to liberating yourself from being ‘controlled’ to living Your Dream. NOW!
Our human experience calls for many journeys.
As varied as it may be, we grow and share our experiences to the benefit of all. That is the beauty of remarkable journeys.
