5. My Guiding Light
I’ve been really fascinated with simplicity recently. I know that is the trend of the world currently, some even have distorted it a bit by reproducing old bits of rubbish, putting their name on it and calling it art – not that I have anything against that art. I just see nothing functional about it. On the other hand, I have seen way too many similar kinds of functional furniture pieces. Enough already with the chairs that double up into storage blocks. Yes, we do need that in our homes (especially if you have children and you’re trying to hide their toys before a dinner party), but can people stop “recreating” the same idea and sticking their names on it?
Currently, I have a very warped idea (still very basic though) as to how to enhance the education system in our country. I possibly could spend a good few months finding out all I need to put this project into action. But with current events in politics, it seems very few people are interested in their own education (or lack thereof, really). It feels as if regardless of the effort people are putting in this country, there are 10 000 trying to make a quick buck out of something posing as honest. And us, honest folk, have no leg to stand on. We’re just on this honest path leading to nowhere (or maybe it’s infinite and we’ll be on it for a very long time until we get anywhere). I could now say that we need someone to stand up for us. But I don’t think I trust anyone enough to hand over my belief in them on a silver platter.
I do suppose I should continue on this road, stop complaining (apparently I do too much of that), put my simple plan into motion and see where it leads me.
