Sketches

The problems in this world are overwhelming. They trample my mind because I know, not just that so many problems exist, but that they would never be solved, never be answered. And those that suffer will still be suffering. So here I am, studying and working my socks off because I thought that at least I could use that knowledge to solve the problems that surfaced this earth. The sufferings, that people just like me and yet not like me, have to go through. I am not talking about the problems in under-developed countries that have a long way to climb or problems far away from the society I know and live in. I am talking about problems that surround me everyday, the suffering of the being in modern society. They having to go through the terrors of this society. Yes, sometimes it is material but it goes further than that it is the tearing away of the human dignity. And somehow, we in our ceiled, comforatable positions choose to ignore it choose to ignore the plight of our fellow creatures, that we have participated in creating and that is to our own lost. For when we have destroyed their human dignity, we are destroying the very own foundation upon which we built our own dignity. Take a look around you: the woman or man that fights for his livelihood though he has a job to his name, the person who tries to succeed at school and exhaust the strength, courage and avenues to just getting through, the child who has his life snatch from his hands by being forced to dispose playfulness for the mean attitude of society. We are all lost! We are all suffering.
What has become of civilization? Indeed, we call ourselves more advanced in technology, we pride our education systems, we comfort ourselves in fighting for human rights and we feel satisfied donating the remants of our income and savings into the donation boxes.
Tell me, can all the economist and politicians, and should I add, the philosophers and the sociologist, the scientist and the mathematicians... can they see the pain, let alone solve it.
Sympathy is far, how much more solutions?
My heart is heavy. It really is. For I know that I have come to school not to learn the solutions- though apparently they present it- but to see the multitiude of problems and realize that they can never be solve.
So Adam Smith sits in his armchair and talks shit (I am a great fan of economics and the capitalist system), but is it going to change the sadness and lonliness that those sufferings. The world continuse to rotate and I continue my life, but there are people who are suffering, whose world has stopped forever. And I, I cannot help them. What is my life...
