An Understanding
We know the limitations of the human brain, though we are unaware of it. The five senses that we associate with every minute of our lives are incapable of reaching past what our brain is composed of. Learning means education. Education means money. Money means life. Then life, means death.So let's take another standpoint. Learning is not just about grades. We all know that. We all say that. It's a universal consensus. Yet can we judge ourselves this way? Do we really mean it when we say that learning is much more about you as a person? Oh, we do, all right. It's just a matter of how each of our own dictionary explains the idea of "being a person."
Human nature is all about contradictions. You think you're well-mannered, but then you start to gossip. You believe you're fiscal, but you can't help shopping at the mall. You say the little things shouldn't matter. But when they start to pile up, you begin to backtrack your words. The various concepts of what it means to be a person is too vast to understand. It's best we stick to the societal definition. We do live in a society. What works in business should work for all of us. Learn to talk business. Relationships are important, in both friendship, love, and bargaining. Face it, the world is cruel. You won't get by with innocence and kindness. And you won't find your own path with selfishness and greed. You need to find a compatible agreement within every obstacle you face to assimilate into the business culture and learn to survive. God won't help you. He's not here. And he doesn't even exist. Only you can help yourself. Only you can do whatever it takes to live and die old.
That said, I take you to a friend who I find a great match for this misconception of the real world. What can you say to a person who believes she is protected supernaturally from reality? Not easy to convince. So the news report a rapist at night, and she feels the safety of the spirit world guiding her path. So? The victims of the rapist does not receive help? Only you, you princess girl? Is your God that deceiving?
And because she is a believer, she can do what she wishes. She is a higher person than anyone because of her faith and her morals - which happens to be different from every other human being on the planet, though I do not know at all. She leaves when she pleases, she does what she wants. She forces others to comply with her, for the world revolves around her superiority. It is as if the population of the nation is split into two groups: her and the rest. Her and her loved one, God. The rest with their happy life, significant other, family, and an open-mindedness about the society.
The end point may be that religion and beliefs can screw up the commodious idea of your being a person accepted into the real community. Not the religious community. Religion is yet only an aspect of a society, created by people. Creation by the people. (Perhaps I should delve into religion in another post.) Who you are is determined by how you manage to adapt to your environment. But for those who are corrupt, like that girl, it is hard to find yourself within the chaotic mess in your head. Your mind playing tricks on you. All too true.
