Is man the architect of his own future?
“Every man is the architect of his own future”. Each and every person must have come across this statement sometime or other but how many have had the courage and conviction to stand up and firmly state his or her views on this? Everything must have a reason –an answer to the question” why”? But till today, no valid reason has been found for this statement.
The state of education in our country today is one of the proofs for the sweeping generality of this statement. We the children of India, have the right to progress and prosper. How can the country prosper, if the educational system is what it is today? Some of us are being denied education-the basis for all round development-just because we happen to have been born into a casts which had exploited others. Now, can anyone tell me of what use it is, to make us suffer for some grave errors and sins committed by the previous generations? We are being denied our rights as human beings to prosper in life, just because we are in a certain caste. Even if we get high marks in qualifying examinations, others who have lower marks. Get admission into colleges and universities. This is a shame to our country when the basis of it is secularism!
What happen to all our hard work; have all the pains and efforts we have taken at each step of our lives, till now, gone in vain? No human beings rightful progress should be hindered. How can we even think about our future if the present is so bleak and dull? There seems to be no ray of hope.
How can every man be an architect of his own future when the man is placed in such circumstances ? Every man needs some freedom; some place in this world to grow in and shape his future . can we ever shape our future when there are such powerful hands to wield and mould us according to their won whims and fancies? As long as such circumstances prevail , no man can even get the material to plan his future, leave alone building it.
How can we hope to step into the future and try to shape our own lives, when every road we take seems to always lead to dead-end?

I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
