"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” - George Bernard Shaw

I don't know is this just me but it seems like the world is getting more and more rigid as we develop. The very introduction of civilization begin human's limitation. The realistic goals of making money throws us into a box and limit us. Many teachers, governments encourage students to pursue something that really interests them, and yet, those adults create a world that forces us to work for things we don't truly desire. I have a friend who wants to be artists but he have to get a second major simply to make sure stable income. Another guy is really interested in history and literature but those won't support his living. The world adults create builds became a cage for the unlimited potential of kids. Yes, creative people sometimes take chances and succeed. But how many people are discouraged because of the risk? How many attempted and failed, ending up starving in the streets? For any discerning eye, this world is corrupted. Sentimentality is been stripped from many people because its unrealistic to have them in the 'adult' world. Parents pressure kids to pursue stuff that may not lay in the best interest of kids. Sometimes, I wonder if Western parents are the same as those strict binding Asian parents, who believe they are always right and will make the best choice of their kids. The fact that we have to get into good college, get into good company, earn good salary, live, and die in a coffin became a routine procedure now. In conclusion, our world is corrupted.
