Just a Thought

Some problems are not problems. They exist on the purpose of shifting your attention from the actual root cause of problems.

Why?

Maybe because the actual solution doesn't benefit some parties. Since they want to be in control, they will always found their ways to deceive you in believing the fabricated, distorted truths.


You heard before global conspiracy, the evils of a bank, the Islam from Middle East are basically terrorists, Michael Jackson was a pedophile, racism is a problem, and the list goes on and on.


Maybe you never heard before, or you don't quite believe it either, fine, neither do I.

But, as a learner, we should start asking some thought-provoking questions which are normally deemed as challenging the status quo of the institution. Otherwise, we should never tell anybody we've been to school, or are on education. Because the very fundamental of getting into education is learn and question, learn and question, that's the way. ( Doubt when I say "that's the way". I mean, why on Earth could someone be that firm to say such a thing)

Some interesting questions which often revolve around my mind are:
1. Why do we wear underwears or bras (for women) ? Could the demand was artificially created on purpose by some unscrupulous businessmen through the propagation of marketing messages which were backed by false scientific explanations?

2. Why do we trust the quality of water coming from R.O water machine than those coming from running tap water or from the existing water dispensers found in my campus? Is it because we feel good when we pay for a service?

I shall keep other questions to myself. I hope the questions raised here could get you into thinking on more similar situations or patterns happening in the reality.

Adieu!
