The more I think of it the more it seems that everything in the universe is perfect as it is. Just like how a question paper is perfect to the student during an exam. Any change to the question paper is only accepted if it comes from it's maker. There is no sense in a student making changes in his copy of the question paper as it creates no useful effect as a whole and may even harm the final score of the said student. This is analogous to the alarming alterations we made to the sensitive environment around us for the sake of our own eternal, hedonistic and in most cases idiotic search for comfort. In the long run the repercussions of these actions is sure to kick our sorry monkey asses, however we may protest.
Sometimes it is way more easier to make headway if we could simplify and understand the universe around us without straightaway butchering at everything. Just like a sculptor who skillfully models masterpieces from a mass of clay, simply by removing the parts that or not needed. Granted, the masterpiece did not exist objectively speaking, but it is the creativity of the craftsman that created something that didn't exist in the first place. If someone who was clearly way less skilled were asked to do the same, it would be an ordeal nothing short of impossible. Yet for the master not only is it possible, but enjoyable too.
Mankind's greatest inventions and ideas to date are largely just imitations of what has always been originally found around us. And we are not that good even at imitation.
Maths and science are two main tools with which we make sense of the universe, feeding us data, albeit at a very low rate compared to the vastness of the universe's mysteries . Is it possible to scale new heights of human awareness that makes it possible to disseminate knowledge at a much higher and in a much simpler form? To drive home the point, just think that at a point in history, humans wrapped their minds over the concept of the spinning wheel like we contemplate the universe and its origins (it took quite a while for wheel to be fully circular) . Today even 2 year old babies are intuitively aware to the idea of the technology that seemed cutting edge only a few thousand years back. Something similar could also possibly occur in a few millennia. The 20th and 21st centuries may just be another primitive age of man which saw the advent of mankind's first computers to a future society where toddlers are naturally aware of the ideas of Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle or Quantum physics.
I believe that the exponential rise of awareness in the younger ages of man which generally lasts until he completes his early childhood, is the key to unlocking the bigger mysteries of life. It is said that an average two year old learn around 5 new words every day (and that too without any previous background knowledge about the world. pretty impressive right?). I believe this level of efficient and practical understanding is replicable at any age with a few tweakings to our system.
The life of a teacher feels like one that teeters right at the edge of exponentially increasing universal awareness. The best teacher is said to be the best learner. Thus if one wished to be a learner and thus a teacher, if approached in the right manner, it may be a surefire way to strengthen your fundamentals, widen your horizons, explore the unknown depths of the universe for priceless knowledge, to share those riches with all of humanity and last of all, to partake in the most noblest and respected professions in all of humanity.. What better way is there to ace this test of life than being apprentice to the mysteries of the universe itself!
