After college, we are no more students. We are now supposed to work and earn money. This is and idea transferred from one generation to another. We have this great social setting. Either you study or you earn money. There is no other situation. I suddenly wondered. And surprisingly enough I too had this idea in my mind until I thought the other way last night. I was actually conditioned by society.
We are conditioned with the thought that If you don’t earn money you are not a good person. Earning money is considered as the top criteria for a human to be good. But its totally other way around. For a person to earn money he needs to follow some tactics, some tricks, some rules, do something unwanted, undesired, everything that is not a basic human instinct. You have to be clever enough to earn money. So that means if you are earning good money you certainly are doing something quiet inhuman. And the person who is unable to earn money is actually a good person without all these traits. So actually he is the good person. I am not saying that every person who doesn’t earn money is a good person. But a person who is capable enough to earn but still unable to, is most likely to be a good person. It’s very clear. Look at two doctors, both have same degrees and both have equal knowledge yet one earns lots of money and other doesn’t earn that much. So what’s the reason? The first one is clever enough and other one is not. And cleverness is not a good human trait.
Social structure makes this condition even worst. They make the other person believe that he is not good person because he doesn’t earn good money. And people around also believe this. I think a person who can’t earn money is simply more human yet. I have an uncle. And he is good at so many things but not earning money. He is full of ideas, he writes poem, he listens to songs, fond of gardening, he is good looking, he is smart. There are very few person around us who are that good. Seriously. But the only thing is he doesn’t like to earn money. This is simple. A person with such thoughts and ideas, can’t be clever enough to do common jobs and work. It is that simple yet so complicated. For the most part of my life I heard bad things about him just because he doesn’t earn enough. I know there are few bad things about him but that’s natural. There are many people around me who earn hell lot of money yet with sucking personality, no ideas, no thoughts, no interests, nothing. And yet they are considered very good in society. If you want to earn money it’s fine, but if you don’t really want to that should also be very fine.
I know its all about conditioning. We are conditioned to think like that, either you work or you study. If you do any third thing you are considered bad in society. And society is a an old concept. It was required in ancient times when there were many dangers in living alone. Now there are none. Societies should be abandoned. There is no need for them now. Humans can live without them now. Its time for concept of society to expire. There should be interests groups not societies. Why I need to be in a society where I don’t want to? And because of that there are all these problems.
The most disappointing part of all this is that not only the previous generation but also this generation think like this. I am fine with the previous generation thinking like this, but come on, I expect this generation to think the other way. We have everything require to think like that but yet we don’t. Human character and traits should be the highest priority for judging anyone and yourself. I know many people who are great human being but yet live in this idea that they are not good just because they can’t do few things they are supposed to do good like, taking an interview or writing some exam. And why this thing still exists? Why instead of respecting people with ideas and thoughts we are respecting people with money ? Because, at some point of time we all go through this. Some one is poor, someone is not good at writing exams or facing interview, feels bad, changes himself and than become like everyone else. So when his time comes, he behave same way with someone yet to become inhuman. Time to rethink.
