A.F.Mathew-
Such forces are rare to find, ironically because of the corrupted
philosophy the world preaches today. These forces are the assets and our only
hope to our world, which is today sick with the obsolete foundations that our
ancestors have engineered up. The flawed moral code of conduct that has been in practice from ages are now fluctuated by our dear own sir. Since childhood, we
have seen people teaching us for the system. They taught us skills that we
would require in the future to build our career. We were literate uneducated
people who followed what the mob told us to follow; defining what good is for
us giving us no option of choice. Apparently, even our parent’s ideology today synchronizes with what the society wants them to think. We so blend into the
system, that we what entices us are our academic marks or career building. What
is dissolved into our core thoughts is the moral responsibility of being the
next generation of managing businesses and carrying out our heir.
Professors like Mathew teach us that everything that we see is just
our illusionary dilemma. It’s what our older generation has seen and wants us
to see. It’s the men in power who fear us that opening the bottlenecks of our
minds may contrive chaos throughout. The very basics of what was thought to be
right and wrong had been instilled in us from the very beginning, but little
did we know that books were manipulated, thoughts corrupted, writings scrapped
off and the truth hidden from us from the point that we understood what senses
are.
I would thank Mathew sir, for at least scratching the surface of truth
and showing us that world is bigger than the illusionary nest that all of us
have cobbled up around us. We still are ignorant fools and most of us would
still go on promoting the chunk of capitalism that has entailed this era for
long. I am not saying that Mathew sir is the perfect teacher and brings out
practical solutions, but he is a plethora of facts and gives us a platform to
think on. He tells us to cut down religion, which may be a viable solution but
unfeasible. Pulling out people right from the believes they have been living on
for years is not an easy task.
The foundation that has been laid since our childhood seems too hazy
now. It is we, the minds who have woken up after years, who carry the
responsibility to give our next generation a choice. To choose for them and for
the world we live in. The men in power would still try to play god. And we, the
ignorant ones are given toys of illusions to juggle around with that we don’t
question the very code of so called morality. Its people like Mathews, the
inspirited minds who call for a strike. A strike against the very system that
we survive in. A strike against the corrupted thought process that is instilled
from the time when books like Amar chitra Katha are ingested in our minds from
the age of 5, to the gender bias we see in this capitalist culture today.
The basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter has been
substituted by profits. Profit has become the only motto for existence.
Survival for the fittest has become the only rule for subsistence. The economies
of scale of the basic moral values of a human, against time have been on the
rise. Yes, capitalism has taken over the world over, and according to our dear
sir, the only way is to practice socialism all over. Being a novice, I cannot
speculate the righteousness of the solution he suggested. Every theory can be
judged once it’s brought into practice. And its parameter values vary over
different set of ideologies and nations. But the bottom-line is, we need a
change. Something is seriously wrong, and things need to be set right. Else the
day isn’t far when the spirit of the earth would quench out. When the forces
would die out. When the saviors of the world would go missing.
People like Mathews need us. It’s not a one man’s job to carry out the
mission he has pledged to decide his life’s fate, and ours. He has spectacled
the real value of education to us, the frivolous juggernauts. It’s time we
decide the path we decide to take on for ourselves. Let us be the judge for
ourselves and our future, and not let time decide what the fate of the world
would be.
