Human cosmology (as I entitle it)

Cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Now, why am I representing the concept of cosmology? Yes, there is a rationale behind it. I talk of human cosmology where the origin is birth, the evolution is adolescence and the eventful fate is a bright future garnished with education. Today’s youth is the representation of a turbulent sea, featuring high tide after sunset.  At times it corresponds to the earth which moves but we don’t feel its motion.

In words of James “ Youth is the joy, the little bird that has broken out of the eggs and is eagerly waiting to spread out its wings in the open sky of freedom and hope.”

Today's youth, in general, seem at first glance to be tough, sophisticated and wordy. This is the outer shell of the modern youth, but underneath is the soft vulnerable part. Questions of religion, of morals, of politics worry them. Sometimes it is the searching for truth and for the answers to life's problems.

Youth is the spring of life. It is the age of discovery and dreams. The youth hopes for a world free of poverty, unemployment, inequality and exploitation of man by man, a world free of discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, language and gender, a world full of creative challenges and opportunities to conquer them. 

Now enters the relationship between youth and education. Education is a must for a successful life. Now, let us not baffle around the real sense of education. Education in its all-inclusive form goes beyond what takes places within the four walls of the classroom. A person might have attended the formal schooling or might have made the real experience a school to learn. When a child learns to paint his formative years, he also has a fear to spoil it. His beautiful painting can become a masterpiece with the artistic strokes of education.

Education in my concept is a beautiful song sung in chorus, a life size sculpture determining destiny, a bouquet of different flowers which make an impression, a prayer in solitude also a proud moment of appreciation. Education is simply incredible and when our youths are nurtured and nourished with education they them self become work of art.

With Juvenile crime and delinquency increasing day by day it is only moral education that can help our young minds to stay absent from these acts of insanity. The ability to change the world roots from education and inspiration. Value based education is essential in developing moral values like modesty, faithfulness, honesty, courteousness, tolerance, sacrifice etc among the youth. Meaningful education promotes all round development in the learner.

Patriotism and loyalty are tools for nation building. Moral education will imbibe the unrefined mind and churn the ocean of uncertainty, apprehensiveness and bring out true citizens of a nation. Youths of today deserve a chance and it is only with the tough, razor-sharp weapon of education that a young mind can create history in the present land.

No other asset can lead to so many different positive outcomes that can improve our overall life condition. So what are we waiting for?  Education is a key factor in our life.

With reference to human cosmology where our origin is not in our control but the evolution and fate can indeed be primed, reformed and even polished with the grace of education.
