Living and Leaving

This post expresses my personal views and serves no discriminations to any other persons.

In the above diagram you would see a pyramid with the numbered columns,with the top numbered 4 and going downwards. Let me explain my concept today.

Type 1.

Representing those people,who are truly ignorant and follow the system of doing things without doubt.

Type 2.

Representing people,who knows something,who knows that they cannot follow the system wholeheartedly. However,because of percieved difficulty,fear,responsibility etc etc,they choose to remain silent and continue to follow systems, with doubts of course.

Type 3.

Representing people,who knows something,and fights for what they think is right. However in the process of doing so,destroys the system and sets up a new one. I will consider putting revolutionaries under here.

Type 4.

Representing people,who know something,and fights for what they is right. However, unlike the type 3 people, they do not change the system. They instead get around the system, get what they want, but in the process of doing so, co-exist with the system but not within the system.

This idea,(or dream) appeared to me yesterday. Education's purpose is to let people move up and not let people move down. It seems to me though,that state education is moving people down the pyramid, to create a sense of social cohesion. Of course, the most risky part in the pyramid shown here, is type 3, where revolutions has to be undertaken to overthrow the current system, in order to build one that suits them.

Whether one believes in democracy, communism, facism or any other ideology which exist, the fundamental value of these ideologies is to give power to the people,and allow them to do their best. The route to this often results to 2 main forms of action, either by the means of revolutions, or by elections. The sole purpose of course, is to change the current system to better allow them to suit themselves.

Humans are social creatures,in which they need to live in a group,where common benefits are the main force in keeping them together. However,every human have a innate voice of their own that is unique to they themselves,which should not be suppressed under common ideologies. It is essential to know that humans live IN a group,but not UNDER a group. The distinction has to be made.

Currently,many countries in the world are practising the action known as elections, in which people vote in order to allow the governments to know what they need and what they want. In effect, the people are pinning their hopes on a group of people to better provide for them. However,it is not possible for everyone to have their desires fulfil and their voices heard by the government,and people's needs and wants are ever-changing. This results in many cases where protests are heard,governments are toppled or "democratically changed" every few years. The only way percieved now by most people,is to change,to start everything all over again,from point zero.

Now the question is, how do we create social harmony,without suppressing the inner voice of every person. The answer to this is long and difficult to accomplish,but not impossible to do. The essential problem now is that many are pinning hopes onto someone else,to provide for themselves. The solution of course, is to allow people to put the responsibility of their lives back to them,and not onto others. This is in which people has to recognise the fact that everyone is different,and they do not share the exact same thinking as one another. They also need to understand that they are empowered,and are able to,live their own lives as they want.

Of course many would say that some rules and regulations in the system will stop them from achieving what they truly want. In this case, they must understand that they can essentially fight for themselves,without fighting against the system. Instead they can leave the system and co-exist with it,living one's life as "an individual",and not as "an individual in the system". This process is difficult and long, but as long as one truly knows the inner voice of oneself,he or she will have the willpower to do it.

Education here therefore comes into place. By education I mean the process of learning by oneself,not through the process of schooling. Everyone has to understand that they are able to take charge of their own lives and not feel compiled to follow rules that supresses oneself. However they must also note that to begin with,they should not force ideas upon others, because essentially that will make them the "suppressor",with them becoming type 3 persons. Education has to therefore let people go up the pyramid,with as little time spent on type 3 as possible. Someday,when people realises that systems cannot provide for everyone and leaves,systems will therefore cease to exist,and people will be living as "true free individuals living in groups".

I am not promoting anarchism here,neither am I creating a new ideology. This only serves as my own thoughts and views.

I am still stuck in type 2 though....
