The Whole

When you look at the world around you look at the whole. But, your mind made you see only important things. Important things are what your mind labeled it so. This kind of sight comes from ancient times, when there were other predators out there as well. Thus caveman had to be aware and recognise danger as quick as possible to react in time. Nowadays experts who make advertisements take advantage on this feature of mankind and they interrupt your attention to give a yield to their product. Even there is an interruption science marketing experts use. Not only to analyse your productivity at job, but to create more effective ads to get your attention. The sad fact is that our entire society built on this disability. Yes, I said disability. Because what was once an advantage, now became a handicap. People can't see the whole picture at modern-day. People are like rats in the labyrinth today. Just going along the wall, try to find their way. To do that, you should stop for a sec, raise your head, look around and see not only what others want you to see, but every single piece of the jigsaw around. How the whole system has built up and works. Unfortunately our education system already engrafts this narrow-minded thinking to individuals. Be an expert on only one field. Where are the greek polyhistors now, like Aristotle? You spend your whole life studing only one thing and life itself passes by you. The punch line is you might spent your all life researching only one slice of the cake and an Einstein-like guy comes and says: This is BS. You are doing wrong. Here is the solution. And you fucked. Once my cousin told me: 'You know what's your problem? You know lots of things, you familiar with so many fields of life, but you are not an expert neither of them.' I reply: 'Perhaps, but at least I see the whole. You just got one piece of it.'

If you stay on one field of life and you never roam away from your path, at least, for a while to discover or try out other things you will live with very shallow experiences and your life is gonna be mousy. This is like you going to the meadow and you could see only one flower. Than you would say: 'Hey, wait a minute. There is only one flower out here. Why the heck you call this place a meadow?' And that's the problem with your whole life. Governments, sales men, firms and all the different kind of medias get you to see only a certain part of the whole. As long as you can't see the whole picture you can't take control of your life and you remain a slave. You are controllable.

When you will begin not only look, but to see?
