There is no time to contemplate about better things and better
life. There are all sorts of living expenses: property taxes, utility
bills, scholarship, car insurance, property insurance, healthcare,
and so many other things. Present social relations do not give
hope for a better future. Hope has been quashed in all possible
ways because the purpose of this system is to perpetuate
discipline and obedience and allow injustice to rule. This attitude
is handed down to the younger generations – a scheme to avoid
any changes and keep status quo.
Future is avoided even as a conversation topic. There are
various formal statements but future is not analyzed having in
mind solutions that would reinstate people’s trust.
People are being bombarded by grim news in order to prevent
them from thinking about the future. However, it is the future that
should be planned and considered if we are to regain confidence
and hope for a better life.
Social relations were shaped and maintained according to the
words, spoken or written, by the rulers. Wise people’s words
were rejected because they clashed with the interests and goals
of those in power.
