All that we know is what we’ve been told so we believe it as truth but is it the truth? All we know is what we live and how we experience our life. So should we be so focused on history? Yes to know where we are going it’s good to know where you come from, but does it really build on our knowledge and make us wiser and more prepared for the future?
Those in power are dominated by the elite, so when only 4% of the population are rich and those in government are rich also, it can be guessed that most policies and rulings are very biased indeed. This isn’t fair for the general public and makes it difficult for the poor to even escape this sector as the system is designed to keep us there. If the truth could be said, the rich don’t want the poor to be richer, so they can continue to reap the benefits and stay above everyone else. What needs to change is the mind-set of humanity and our people need to believe in the power of our thoughts and the positive things we can do with them. Thoughts become reality, fact. No matter how bad it may be right now, it can change in an instant if you believe.
Everything we are taught throughout our whole lives is believed by us by the power of suggestion. Teachers and people who give out knowledge through school, college and university for example, is a curriculum that has been accepted by those in power. But who are they, really? It’s frustrating to know that the arts, for example, are taken less seriously than say Maths or English. Why do they not encourage creativity more? Why is a BA Journalism degree less credible than a BA English Literature one?
So how do we really know what is and what isn’t, and what isn’t biased on the news? It’s very difficult to fully believe anything we see on TV or in the media in general, so we have to have an open mind and an open heart and dig deeper. Only one person knows the truth and that is you, based on your life experiences and bank of knowledge so always trust your instinct! It rarely gets it wrong.
