on marks.. money and minds....

Why is it that in this country of ours, the 'grades' have such an impact on your life??
How can a bunch of numbers change the way people view you ?.... The way people react... it would seem the very purpose of your existance is to score well... If you don't....well... then you're worthless...
WHY??? HOW??
how can your academic performance decide your worth?? This isnt a game.... The best score can NOT decide the best!... it's how you went about achieving that score that matters isnt it??
Why is it that humans have such a tendancy to be so judgemental based on some numbers and figures??
The whole purpose of your life is so that you can be happy with what you do... right?? So why is it even necessary to judge others..... or even to judge yourself for that matter...??
Why this clash of egoes that make you derive pleasure out of someone else's failure??.. why is it that we compare so much?? WHy do we compare ourselves with others... objects, people, places.... nothing escapes it...
.... It's just a manifestation of the bloated egos that we all carry around with us...... beneath all the facades and lies we humans are all probably just amalgam of arrogance, greed and ego....
If not... WHY DO WE COMPARE SO MUCH????
you drive a nano.... i drive a lambo ... so i'm way more superior..... you wear some crap brand... I wear armani....I'm superior.... why..... why.. WHY???
vehicles will get you from A to B.... and clothes just cover you up... why does it matter ??
Why do we find it so necessary to prove our superiority??? and HOW DOES MONEY MAKE YOU SUPERIOR????

When all is said and done..... isnt money just another piece of paper to which WE humans assigned a FALSE value, so that WE could satisfy our FALSE pride, so that WE could assert our FALSE superiority over others, whose own hurt egoes make them do the same to someone less fortunate...
All we ended up doing... was to start of an endless chain.... eventually trapping the whole world in some sort of vicious circle of avarice and pride.
Can't some just LET GO??? wont just one broken link BREAK THE CHAIN????
I fear not..... cause what started as a chain has mutated to a web..... a web that's slowly... but surely choking us all.....
Money... it can't be good....almost EVERY evil you can think of that's happening in the world now..... can be traced back to money or our own egoes. True.. without it... the whole economy wouldn't run...... society sees money as the 'lubricant' that makes it move.... But even the need for an economy.... or even that for a society is debatable isnt it...??
