So while at work and going home, I came to a conclusion about myself and my life.
I'd almost call it a realisation.
You know Michelangelo, da Vinci and some other peeps in history are people that excell in basicly anything they do ever, right?
First of all, the reason why they became so succesful was a combination of both time, and talent.
I mean, face it, in this day and age, an ordinary human will not be capable to achieving what they did, if not only for the fact that you waste 10 years of your life, going to school, if you could be doing the stuff you'd want to learn by yourself at home.
Back in the days of the renaissance, they didn't even have that many public schools, let alone people that actually had the amount of money to study.
It wouldn't be possible to reach what they did, as they started doing their things at the age of about 7-9? I don't know, but before 15 for sure.
Nowadays, you wouldn't be able to do that. Since school is something you have to attend to.
Which, I think is both a good thing, but also a bad thing. Off course, it would be bad if no one was studying certain subjects anymore, because that would leave those subjects to die. But on the other hand, from a more social aspect, people ask SO MUCH from the people attending school, to the point that they don't have any freedom whatsoever. If one only learns the subjects they'd need, or want, then there would be a lot more focus on hobbies, which in turn leads to amazing people like Da vinci and Michalangelo.
But it doesn't stop there. As soon as you enter adulthood, you're expected to work for society, almost 40+ hours a week. On top of that comes all the other stuff, like sleeping taking care of family and all the stuffs. Leaving no time for freedom either, and limiting someone in excelling in other arts.
And because governments ask so much, in terms of money and such, you're basicly forced to work.
We live in a society in which everyone who works is something, and anyone who doesn't isn't, and will never be.
Life is being made so hard, and our global society has become so corrupt with money, that it goes at the expence of other things, such as free time, arts, or even your own family.
I mean, look at it. Look at nowadays art. It's what they call "modern". Face it, the only reason art like that is the way it is, is because people don't have the time to excell in these things like people did in the 16th century.
They are not learning painting, sculpting or composition from the age of 7.
This is keeping us people back from actually getting better at these kind of things.
However, since the governments don't see art as something as important as scientific progress or moneymaking sources, it's often even forgotten.
And I wonder if anyone ever thought about this the way I currently do.
