Sometimes I really don't understand what's the meaning of education in today's world! Why do people get educated? To earn money? Probably so. Because their education rarely get reflected in their behaviour! They behave like machines nowadays. Some of them become servants to their desires and some of them become servants to the whims of the society. They don't ask what, how, why, when, where anymore. They just do what is 'expected' from them. I mean, why do educated people behave like living corpses nowadays? Why don't they understand that true education is a material to the making of their personality and not merely something to be reflected on their report cards? Why do they lack moral values, personal opinions and mental integration? Why is it so easy nowadays to brainwash the common mass in the name of politics, religion, culture?

I think I have asked too many questions already to prove that I stand out from the crowd. Yes, I do have my personal opinions about the world to which I belong and I do have my moral values which guide me through difficulties. And may be, because of this, I occupy a unique stand in the society from where I can see its various flaws, and which intrigue me a lot.

Some people think that the youth of today have a lot of say in the society. Well, permit me to comment upon this statement as a part of this youth and say that it is wrong. Most of them don't have any say even about their careers. Their parents decide for them what they will study and what careers they will pursue in future. They are brought up from the very beginning in such a way that most of them don't even develop the habbit of deciding for themselves! Some of them later on develop this habbit, but by the time they do so, it's too late and their fields are chosen. This sometimes happens in the case of marriage as well. But nowadays, the youths are capable enough of choosing wrong partners for themselves!

Well, the above statements are not completely baseless. I can prove them. Have we ever wondered how many engineers our country have produced in the last few years? Thousands and lacs! Most of my friends have applied for engineering solely because their parents want them to become engineers. As a result, to absorb these students their have been a mushroom growth of private engineering colleges and unemployed engineers have already become a common sight! Science is a field which requires maximum aptitude, but again, it is the most common field today! But do all these people have the proper aptitude required for science? The answer is a big NO.

I can give another proof. If it were not so easy to brainwash the youth of today, their wouldn't have been so many youthful terrorists, ready to loose their life for no reason at all, without asking "WHY?"!
