Childhood In An Indian Village

So for University this week we had to read and annotate some articles. I'll just talk about Childhood in an indian village. It was actually a really good read. At first i thought it was going to be kinda lame, but it totally wasn't. It was this guy talking about how when he was a kid they used to play games and sports and do different activities, but no one was better at something than anybody else. Everybody was equal. Nothing was work. No one was a ruler or the boss of anyone. Everyone contributed. Everyone shared, and was giving to everyone. It sounded way cool. Almost like a perfect system to me. It showed me that if we have honest people doing honest work, then we really shouldn't have to worry about getting cheated or cheating anyone else. It also taught me a lot about attitude and how different attitudes reward people differently, and can bring someone to a way different outcome. Like, if you take something that is technically work, and regard it as something that just simply must be done in order to further your life, it won't seem that bad. It will just be something that is there that is going to get accomplished, and you're gonna like doing it. I thought it was way cool that there were any villages that existed like this. He also talked about how people came in and changed their way of doing things. It made me kinda upset to think that other people came in and tried to take control and force them into doing things. I think of how upset i would be if someone did that to me or my family or community or something. It would totally be crappy. They don't know me or my standards or ideals or my way of living. So how could they possibly think that they have a better way of living and doing things than I do? Ya, that part made me pretty upset. Also, I just thought it was cool how kids got to think for themselves and weren't forced into their parents ways. Eventually life came out the right way, but for the time being they got to act and think and be the person that they wanted to be. It seemed waaaay cool! I loved it. He also said something about how while he was writing he was also exploring what had happened. This reminded me of journal writing and how if we took the time to write down the events of our lives, we would understand and gain a lot more from them, instead of just letting the days and weeks and months pass us by, as if nothing important was happening. Obviously we would have to learn something during this time. But there's always a deeper meaning to something. So we should probably take a deeper look at it to find that. Well, that is all for now. Thanks for reading. You are much too kind! :D LOVE YOU!
