The Circus: Illusion or Reality?

What is the point of being educated, of learning to read and write, if you are just going to carry on like a machine ?

The world does not want you think, it does not want you to be free to find out, because then you would not fit into the established pattern.

Is the circus an illusion?

Is it reality?

This is a question that has been plaguing man since the beginning of time. It's difficult to answer because we can't view things objectively. We are always looking at things through our own personal lenses, and those lenses are colored with all of our life experiences.

There have been many times in my life where I was sure something was one way but then learned later on that I had it wrong--that what I thought was real, wasn't.

The circus is an illusion, a carefully crafted mirage. It's set up to captivate you and keep your attention focused on the moment--to avoid thinking about anything else in life that might be difficult or painful.

It's also reality in some ways because circus provides joy who are often ignored by their parents , society etc.

The purpose of education is to make you aware of the truth of what really happens. It's not just about memorizing facts and figures, but rather it is to help you understand the world around you.

Unfortunately nowadays we all become machine to educate our kids to get a job. The sole focus become to make comfortable and luxury life. In the end kids pay price in future when they miss the actual purpose of education.

Of course I don't want to undermining the importance of wealth creation but point is that kids should not miss the opportunity to explore their unlimited potential.

The world does not want you think, it does not want you to be free to find out because then you would disregard the established norms of social structure like school, college and corporates , so called dogmas created by them.

The only way which I see is to introspect and debate for a need of inclusive development of humanity. As an Individual , it's my responsibility to work for the society.

It is not a matter of inheritance, rather its about how we want to live with our children in this world .

So it's time that we start taking charge and control over own life instead waiting for others to come up and rescue us.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about this.

Did you find it interesting?

Is there anything that we missed in our article of the dangers of a mechanized society and why people should be free to learn how they think, so they can live their lives as authentically human beings?
