Life is not a road to destination; it’s only a pointer which shows you the directions. When I use “directions” I mean it. You will face several cross roads in the journey of your life. We always focus on distance rather than destination. In every single moment of our life we expect a pointer, who can guide us, who can show us directions or better say our hierarchy makes us to follow the way I have described. Hierarchy is nothing but a stream of rigid thinking of our father, grandfather, our elders, old values of society, so called basic “rules”, cultural dissimilarities.
In my journey of 22 years, several time I have heard the word “maturity “, in my childhood several time they compared me with someone’s adulthood. And tagged me as Immature, irresponsible. But as far as maturity is concern, I don’t think so there any link between Age and maturity. Is there any?
What is MATURITY? Common and simple answer of this question is:-“maturity is a basic knowledge of life, how to handle it, what to do, what not to do, how to react, how to speak, how to handle situation”. This is a formatted answer many of us know. But this is rigid answer. A baby is as matured as his father. What he needs is time. Who explained a baby, how to breath? No one, right? Still he can breathe properly, he can move, he can smile, he can cry. He knows if I will cry my mother will feed me. If I will laugh my father will kiss me. What is this? This is MATURITY. When a person knows what he should do to achieve, to get his basic needs, his basic dreams, his basic goals, he is the most matured person in his own world.
Maturity is a reaction of some natural or artificial actions. I have seen several times, parents force their child to go for the course they want him to learn. “After 10th you will go for science stream, that’s final, there is no value of commerce, you don’t know anything, and you are IMMATURED”. Many times we heard this kind of sentences. One should have right to do what he/she actually wants to do. Why they don’t have rights? No one is immature on this earth, amount of maturity differs. If one girl wants to marry with a person whom she loves, hierarchy will not allow her to do that. And they will bit her feelings with the stick of immaturity, irresponsibleness. Is it valid to force someone to follow your own ethics? Are they matured in the way they behave? This is nothing but internal ego. One man-one rule mentality. Why we have to follow protocol, why don’t we have our own way of thinking and rules to follow. When someone tries to break this structure and follow his own rules, he will surely be tagged as immature. But we are helpless and this rule is World Wide Web. Our egoistic hierarchy will not allow us to break the chain.
I don’t know why our society is having a rigid lifestyle, why we are following each other’s way, we have created an unbreakable loop and now when we know we can’t break it we are complaining. We should have our own free world and our own levels of maturity. And we should have freedom to follow our basic ethics. Don’t try to define Maturity try to differentiate the levels of it. Remember one thing:-“Tiger is a symbol of power, But, Man Eater Tiger is a symbol of violence” and we need to kill the tiger to survive.
That’s it.
Every tear drop has a reason. we all are a part of natural cycle but We humans are born unsatisfied creatures. We always run behind something unaffordable, impossible or useless. If you ask someone about the most important thing of life he will become philosopher and his philosophical soul will start explain the definition of importance flawlessly.
Mostly our answer will be related to education, money, status, oxygen (from my damaged brain) and so many things and practically its fact, we can not live without the things i have mentioned above.
In today’s era there are mainly two races exist.
1. Retrace
2. Race between money and education.
Retrace is the race between hunger and hard work. Every single person is running, working, struggling for his own hunger and needs. So now it’s become a race called “RETRACE”.
Few decades back people were rich enough to get, to achieve their dreams goals and emotions.
But at that time, education was not so important as way of thinking and expectations were limited. Because we all are farmer’s children and so we have to face all kind of struggle and hurdles. If you will compare our past with the present, you won’t find a single change in behaviour, thinking, expectation and dream just life style has changed. Only one change is there and that change has changed entire life of ambitious people.
At present if you want to dream something, you have to dream something affordable. Our dreams are now limited to our lifestyle, our expenses, our needs.
Yes dreams can also be unaffordable. Today we have departed our society with several parts.
Middle class, upper middle class, lower middle class and many more. A middle class family can’t pay for his child’s future. A statement you may heard around “ Only a doctor’s son can be a doctor now” . Why money is so important. A boy with ability cannot be a pioneer if he or his father don’t have few pieces of paper we called money.
I am so surprised when you are talking about a cultural country like India when we have departed this country on the basis of money. From PRIME MINISTER to PA, no one is bothering to fund those who all really deserve something good and who all are capable to achieve heights. I always feel bad when prime minister comes to our city and go to only those schools where all children and management belong to a rich background. There is no use of culture when our minds are behaving like vultures.
In every single book with mythological touch, you fill find definition of education without any expectations from teacher or institute, GURU DAKSHINA is a cultural to respect your teacher.
But what now, at present?
GURUS are now so fashionable and you know this world is advanced now so everything should be in the way the world is. This is what our so called GURUS think. So this advance payment thing is introduced. If world is became advanced, why still we can find 10 12 years old child at tea stall, why they don’t go to school? Why they are working at this age? Because of money? No. They are poor of money, and we are poor of mind.
This discussion has no and every one would have different opinions. But something to think. Something should be done. Otherwise one day will come when you would get a degree of doctorate, engineering or commerce nearby shop if you will be able to pay the money they want and it will be the day before destruction, death of education. Dead body of education.
That’s it...
SLAP:-
“A fifteen years old boy cleaning a room of a rich business man and watching him playing cricket in his own ground. And dual emotions on his face and in his heart laughing on his destiny and at the same time crying on his destiny.
