As a society, is this all even worth it?
NEET has been cancelled, students are ending themselves over boards and competitive exams, people are spending lakhs over mba programs to get some package, such high unemployment rate for graduates, umpteen many problems. Where is the future even going? Little children are brainrotting themselves on short form content, teenagers are miserable because of how competitive getting a good graduation degree is, the youth are running around for internships, masters, jobs, promotions.
Is this even worth the grind? When as humans all we need is food, water, shelter and bonds?When did people get so lost in the game that they forgot that their child's smile is worth so much more than a seat at some college. I don't blame them, for them its a seat to a better standard of living, but the fact that we as a society have come to this is disgusting actually.
We started becoming more complex for a better quality of life, but whatever we are doing is not it. The happiness and quality of life is concentrated at the hands of few, who create systems to keep it concentrated there, and the rest of the population fights with itself to get a few morsels from the top down. Life changing money to many is child's play to some.
We say its so competitive because India is so populated. But shouldn't high population equate high consumption and more opportunities? There are so many people, then there should be more houses needing to be built, more food to be grown, more schools to be run, more art to be created, more roads to be made, more universities, more teaching jobs, more research to be done, more and more. But everyone is grabbing each other's throats for a few seats.
The system won't change if we don't change anything. There has to be something we can learn from countries doing better, if that isn't working then we should be developing systems ourselves.
I believe as a country we lack trust, we rush to complain and point fingers at each and every point, anything to absolve oneself of blame, anything to put the other down. And when people see flawed systems they start taking shortcuts too, which keeps adding on to the system. Wake up. Please, I think most of us are miserable in here. Life can be so much more fulfilling, it can have so much to offer.
In the comments you might rush to blame the government and you're not wrong, you would rush to blame the civic sense of people, you would blame the invasions, the politicians, the judiciary, the degradation of morals. Blame them, ask for changes, but do something yourself too.
What is the net positive you're adding to the world? Many of you would actually be in good positions of power, with the ability to impact some circles of society. Some could just theorise better forms of societal structures too. That's what the philosophers of the past did. Some could just bring back some trust in this society by doing their jobs fairly. You all actually can make a change. It's just easier to be miserable and blame others. Drop ideas in the comments.
TLDR: drop in some cool ideas to make our country a better place.
