Behind the Curtain of Ideology

Where is Right if isn't lost in compulsions? Where is Duty if it isn't compromised through allegations? Where is Freedom if it isn't disappeared in exceptions? Where is Justice if it isn't monopolized by powers of institutions? Where is Equality if it doesn't remain in formal declarations? Where is Governance if it isn't a subset of management? Where is Dignity if it isn't subsumed by alienation?

Conformity as Art of Education

Education is not meant to educate. This line of thinking is either too ahead of its time or too regressive. One may examine with curiosity why discipline is too important a virtue followed by educational institutions?

It can't be nothing as well. In that sense, every reality is real precisely in its transition. Can there be a value then which is attained? Or value is also governed by dynamics of transition? If value is already in transition just like any other fact, is there any truth in being? Except, only being is becoming? So my first prop
