Productivity is a point of the matter. How do we ascertain the productivity of a person? And more importantly, how can anyone dream of becoming productive in the Hustle Bustle of today. Feeding our lives incessantly to these giant corporations, trading our last values and souls for the industrial devil.

So this is what it has finally come to. People no longer see the side of reason that constantly urges for a life that is untouched, rather we are drowning in a deluge of mass consumerism and no one seems to realize, but a precious few. Our present generation is still awake, to a certain extent, but our suceedors will suffer for the short sightedness of their predecessors, whose legacy we slowly and unconsicously are adopting.

Think! my fellow men and women. What has this blind consumerism and militant industrialization got you? We all start with aspirations and dreams, but a closer look only betrays us, because we start off by first conforming ourselves to a standard. The current system is so masked, that nowadays rule breakers, anarchists, and the like have disappeared. The government too is not visible, but it silently pulls the strings.

We are a gullible lot, because we have always played around the rule. Going by the view that more the better, little realising that it is to an extent unsustainable. Engineers earlier were rule breakers, exceptional people, inventors to an extent, fine technical minds, and what do we have now? Their predecessors, a bunch of incompetent fools with no aim or inkling of anything technical, just having a qualification to have a graduation certificate.

We no longer produce humans, we just produce numbers to fuel the so - called growth. Where is it? That fickle thing that they call growth? Is it something that is read off the share market chart??? Is it something so significant??

What about human growth? It is denied….it is pushed under the carpet, or displayed on some fancy furniture (gathering dust) just to show how much the developed countries do to alleviate the pain and suffering by pouring money, but not help. By being under the misconception that money solves age - old problems.

Wake up!

Yours,
