Questioning the Unquestionable (ePub)

Questioning the Unquestionable to
Think the Unthinkable and See the Invisible
One thing that used to make me uncomfortable and bother me when
I was growing up was that when I looked around almost everybody was
like everybody else, doing what everybody was doing, making the same
jokes, thinking thoughts that everybody was thinking, heading in the same
direction; for example, I would see five small kiosks selling the same things
on the same street. When someone started a business, a dozen others would
start doing the same thing; my view was that everything looked to be at
standstill, and I used to question this deep down in my heart and that still
bothers me till today because nobody is supposed to be like nobody: I
used to go to boarding school, stay, come back, and still find nothing has
changed nothing different, no progress. In fact, it looked like things were
moving backward; this used to depress me. Nothing changes in our life
until we change. This does not mean that change cannot happen unless
we do; there is a certain type of external change that happens even if we
do not; for example, your body changes with or without your permission.
Environment change is another example; however, unless we change things
can never change in our lives. You see, if we keep on thinking the same
thoughts doing the same things like the past generations did, we will not
move forward but be at a standstill, and the problems with history repeating
itself is that it teaches us what we have already seen and takes us to where
we have already been and to see what we have seen.
