Why would I save to buy a typewriter to use to produce
documents? Why would I study Secretarial Studies at an age when everyone can
now easily produce documents they need? Why would I make huge investments to set
up keyboard and mouse production line? Why would I think the smarter child is
the one who does better in Mathematics? Why would I put pressure on my child to
join a profession because such was considered when I was his age, the
profession of the higher social class? Why would I make huge sacrifices to acquire
a skill that increasingly has no more problems to solve?
The reason I would do any of the above is because I lack
understanding of the times; it is because I have refused to attempt to detach
my thinking from the mob worldview—social mirror; it is because I don’t understand
relevance.; it is because I have not prudently studied the connection between
my activities and their results; it is because I assume I can be busily
involved in any kind of activities while thinking that somehow they will just
result in the consequences I desire.
Sometimes, relevance is a very individual
concept. Things I do that amount to relevance for me might not amount to
relevance for you. Your destination determines relevance for you!
