Stereotypism

Sometimes I think that I think too much about events and phenomena that have no bearing on me at that time and so why waste time thinking about it? Waste time? Interesting thing to say. How would I use time 'properly' otherwise then? Reading books? Books that give me knowledge that I never might need in my practical life. What a controversial statement to make? How can I call books rubbish? Sometimes I hate this education system. I can't agree more with Pirsig, the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence that education is the most orthodox form of mass hypnotism. See, what they are doing to us. They are taking us, millions of students and churning us in this system. We hardly have a choice. Before birth, our destiny is determined, if we have one. Any earlier we start learning about our surrounding, we are sent to school and are made to read those rotten books, years after years. Then, it's all the usual thing, get a job, work hard and so on. Everyone dreams of being rich as if that is the ultimate aim of life. The education that we receive has influenced our mind in such a way that we can't think there can be any other life. I loved Brave New World for showing how we are made to believe about ideas in this society. Those ideas are repeated everywhere, magazines, newspapers, radio, television, internet and so on until it becomes so imbedded in our minds that we start treating as a fact, to be unquestioned.
Can we break free from this cycle of events and stop yearning for a life having all those riches that has been carved as a utopia in our minds? Another question that we should ask ourselves is should we? Should we break free then if we can? Does everyone like pumpkin curry? If you think yes then, you are wrong. People are different and this is something today's society has been trying to do away with. Why can't people see this conspiracy? It's blatant. Make everyone read the same stuff from childhood then through college. By the time they develop their thinking, people would have same reserve of knowledge and would think alike. Why does everyone today is yearning for money? Money brings happiness, this is what has been implanted in our brains. We belive it because we cannot think of any other way. It will not be long before humans will become all alike. Sounds outrageous, doesn't it?
