Socialism is not always Evil.

Sometimes Socialism is not that a bad word.I think more than a political philosophy it is the state of mind. I see it as an empathetic nature of a human being.
The most beautiful aspect of socialism is equal opportunity for all and the basic needs of human beings like education and health care constitutes the starting point of this equal opportunity.
I believe all things that constitute the basic needs for people should be in the hands of the state. It is the responsibility of the state.Food,Health care and education.
Right now I will discuss only education as I feel very strongly for this.I believe education is the most important factor that can lift an individual and gives him the opportunity to be what he wants to be. It can empower people and help them earn.
We are born equal and therefore I believe a child who has taken birth in a poor man’s home should get an equal opportunity to education as a child who is born in a rich home
There should be no private schools and there should not be any difference between standards of education in schools. The biggest drawback of allowing private schools is that it doesn’t give the opportunity to poor kids to intermingle with the other lot and enhance their confidence and thinking.
Private schools suck. They may give quality education but only to the privileged few who can donate them huge sums. They take interviews of the parents to make sure that the parents are educated,cultured and affluent. I would call it Cheap attitude of these expensive schools.What kind of morality these schools will teach kids?
Let education be a noble cause and not a fucking business.If we can set world standards in IIT’s and IIM’s why not in school education. How can one expect a child who does not get basic education to secure admission to these institutes? Equal school education is equivalent to equal opportunity. And preferably an independent entity should be formed to govern this.
Public schools are in pathetic condition.Please save our children and help them build their future before joining the so called saving the fucking tigers mission.

Attitude

Man always complains. He is never happy and content. The amount of money and power one has can never guarantee him peace of mind. A beggar may sleep peacefully on the roadside but a king may not get sleep on a cushy bed of his palace.Its all about ones attitude towards life. Living carefree and peacefully is all about ones approach. The objective of life is to live peacefully. Atleast that's mine. Its very important to sit back and contemplate about ones journey of life. Are you living your life peacefully or are you just running a blind race dictated by the society and circumstances ?
There is no point getting frustrated by society norms.My earlier post titled "Loser" shows my unhappiness and frustration.Now I realize that I am not a saint who is going to bring some revolutionary change.I can only do my part. I have started ignoring things that make me unhappy.I have implanted a filter in my brain that filters out unnecessary stuff.
I have adopted a formula for happiness.Firstly,Do whatever you feel like without caring what people or the society will react to it. Secondly,take care of the relationships with people you are close with and thirdly, ignore people and things that don't really matter to you. Believe me there are very few things that really matter.
Start doing your own things. Things that give you happiness.Don't get into the rat race.Its a conscious effort and I guess I have started doing that

And yes whining and complaining never helps.Ignoring does.

Sharing with you a beautiful ghazal by Qateel Shifai. It influenced me to the core.
