I have been advised from one of my coach cum buddy that 'being a writer I must not write solutions' because we are too young to find solutions for this massive thousand years old world. I however not fully satisfied with his suggestion but till I am not getting why I should not I will not write solutions...
"But then what should I write?" a genuine question ran
"As as writer we must sensitize the social issues... let them (readers) find out what could be the solution" He replied... "Mankind flows like massive river..." a pause "...while many rocks, mountains and forests defines the direction of its flow, it finally happens to reach the destination... and gradually keeps changing the path of flow to wherever that can be more obvious and suitable to the nature of river"
As he said, by being a socially concerned human being, we can only be the rocks or bushes but we cannot become mountains or forests to shape the path of mankind. It is not a one man's art!
He beautifully explained to me that by all the capacity of reading so many books, seeing so many issues and discussing so many great thinkers, we have only seen the tip of the berg that actually exists beneath the water. He said to me "If you are able to conceive solution than perhaps you are not able to understand the problem"
"But then what should we do?" I asked while irking "Than how Gandhi, Tarressa, Lincoln, Lenin, Marks have done that?"
"What all they had done are all tiny solutions... a lot more is needed" He replied.
Everyone will come to us to suggest what can't be done and what should not be done but it is only us who can decide what can be done. Doesn't matter big or small, I am not going to get bothered. Be it worthy or worthless... I am not even going to consider. The right time has arrived or not is not my check but one thing! That I will get out of my life for sure and that is... laying the foundation of quality education accessible to every human being of the world for NO money...
I have seen the power of education... I witnessed it... As Lincoln said "just let them know they are slaved, shackles will be broken". Education is that power aware people that they are slave. Only education will set us Free.
"Humanity can never see profit as 'virtue' because quest of profit over exploits resources not uses them" Education can only reset the mankind back to welfare from this existing mantra of profit...
