I find it sad, what a lecture of complete mental underload can do to you – especially if you are a person that does think and is willing to make a difference, to become better and to develop further. It is sad, that people that know so much more have to give this lecture and that there are people that still have loads of questions about things they should know already. But this is the world we live in – isn’t it?
In the end it is more a question of who we really are. These lectures are really boring, horrible and almost unbearable – time seems to slow down and three hours can make you feel like being stuck in this room for weeks. They waste your lifetime and there is little you can do against that. BUT it doesn’t mean that we don’t learn from these things. You always learn something new and if it is only what we don’t like and what needs changing. Combine this knowledge of an incomplete, badly organised system with the absolute desire to change the system gives you the power and energy needed to actually change things. Every system seeks for chaos – this is a physical law. But there must be other elements that have to keep it together, help reorganising it, help to bring a structure back. And therefore the problem we are stuck in will never be solved completely. This would mean stagnation. And stagnation is the death of our world.
It might seem hard at times to stand the circumstances but there will be the possibility to make an impact on the system. If you look back on the past two and a bit years we were at this uni here, I can already see that we have changed things. The established system started shaking a while ago and I think it will radically change during the next years. You cannot run an organisation the way they did so far. And it will change.
So, never give up. Keep up your trail! And in the end, things will have changed. But the change will always be for the ones that come after us… we have to be aware of that.
Generously Spoken…
P.S.: All the automatic systems in the world wide web that scan every electronic message sent or posted anywhere in the world will find the last posts quite interesting. But believe me – it is nothing political. More the result of a university course that leaves you too much time so that your mind wanders…
