The "Right" World

Along the paper race and quest for knowledge, we got transfixed into the rigid education system of getting things "right". In school we are taught the rights and wrongs, but to what extend do we confer right from wrong? Who are we in the first place to even say something is right? It's astounding how many people in this current day and age are still consuming knowledge at book value, without doubts or questions...

An assemblage and combination of thoughts into a unitary whole, forms a sentence. The formulation of words and the subsets of topological space gives birth to something we call textbooks... Yet through the ravages of time, these thoughts and ideas just corrode and oxidize into older editions. Edition 2's replacing Edition 1's only to be supplanted by another Edition 3's...

The thought of idea itself becoming obsolete is rather intriguing and at the same time intimidating. For knowledge itself is the very definition of cornucopia. And yet the information from this horn itself has an expiry date tagged in fine prints... It shouldn't be this way...

Just because we are told something is right, it doesn't necessarily be right... This "right" world we are living in, could have been a big mistake right in the very first place...
