The choice of a single
right question is what matters for an understanding of our-selves and our
surroundings. One single question is what makes all the difference between
right and wrong, and, good and bad. We live in a world full of questions
unanswered and we are often praised for not questioning for it makes the others
around feel uncomfortable and sometimes for the sake of the assumptions, common
in material sciences. Gazing empty skies above our head to a simple walk over
the earth’s surface can take you in a big-bang of the questions enough to take
your lifetime and yet will be carried over for coming generations with many
past generations of poverty in a major part of the world. Taking into turn all
the trades of knowledge, including religion, for most of their parts are
equipments and instruments to earn the economic merits. It is what makes the
world go around and the principle underlying the reality we live in. And, is
also true to the same degree for those who live on their crude labor, but the
underlying reality remain same: the economic benefits of spending time in a
productive way.
We live in an age where
we are tuned by the clocks in our living- rooms so mechanically that we don not
have time for our surroundings. We hardly care that what questions are needed
to be answered to be approached. We are not only confined physically, but
mentally, as well, so as to result in a consciousness so limited which is so a
insignificant part of a greater reality which is broken not just in one or two
parts but in millions and billions. The question of identity and individuality
is so dear that we very often end up demanding something better and/or more
overriding the underlying spirit of equality as humans. The purpose here is not
preaching but to cast some light on some of the issues that have dominated the
history of mankind and are yet standing as they were. The right to subsistence
from the state is one of them whose economic benefits also cannot be ignored.
It does not encircle the right to subsistence as the most important of all the
rights but as a requisite to concentrate on the work we have chosen to devote
time at.
Every body tries to
avoid inconvenience. A little avoidance of inconvenience can land the whole
economy into a neck-deep trouble just like as the case with our voting rights
and is true to the same extent for most of our economic problems. A classic
example can be the problem liquidity-trap popular in economics, which says that
when interest rates are at there minimum or zero people just do not care to
deposit their savings in banks just to avoid the pain of reaching to the banks
because they think its not worth taking and no body could imagine the startling
consequences except who really know. It would turn the whole economy upside
down reducing the economic activity from top to bottom leading to an economic
chaos. Among the common one it just could be the reluctance in inquiries
regarding small increases in prices at our local grocery shop and when we look
back in nostalgia we could hardly believe at the cumulative effect. Some could
say that income too has risen but very few will question the unnecessary calls
for adjustments in which it is the price which increases first and not the
income. Any deviation from equilibrium commonly called the point of stability
is not welcomed in economics and in our daily lives but when it comes to pin
pointing the causes they are always deducted to some kind of insecurity in some
cases and in most it ends just with increasing scores.
