true purpose of education is to train the mind to think - Albert Einstein,... If you had understood the above line.. Then you will know about the answer of my question.. If not also you have the answer... Because if you cant understand it means you had not been trained to think... Where the hell our schools and colleges are taking our future ,the future of our nation?... Once upon a time our freedom fighters fought for our people to free us from Identified human race named british... Who can free us from this unIdentified spices named teachers? There are some good teachers also there.. But how many of them had been encouraged, recognised? how many good teachers are there? a very few..Is it enough? If you like to see treating humans like animals.. Go to a school or college nearby... Have you ever allowed to touch computer in your school? But how dare they are to collect fees? How many of you had been allowed to do experiments in labs? Except , during practical examination time.

I am not asking this for religious reasons so please so no negative responses. I am a huge admirer of Tolstoy since I am a Christian, a Pacifist, a Vegetarian, I identify with the great thinker in many ways. I have always read that he was a Christian and identified himself as a Christian, but recently in reading his 'A Letter to a Hindu' I wondered about that because of a statement he made in the letter, I have pasted it below:

If only people freed themselves from their beliefs in all kinds of Ormuzds, Brahmas, Sabbaoths, and their incarnation as Krishnas and Christs, from beliefs in Paradises and Hells, in reincarnations and resurrections, from belief in the interference of the Gods in the external affairs of the universe, and above all, if they freed themselves from belief in the infallibility of all the various Vedas, Bibles, Gospels, Tripitakas, Korans, and the like, and also freed themselves from blind belief in a variety of scientific teachings about infinitely small atoms and

When two fatal hearts collide with envy
Of each other’s perfect lives
Wanting to live in a way shown simply
Only to wake up to a lie

Embracing emptiness to the bone
Grasping what has never been
Melting into one who stands alone
For anything to make a true friend

Keeping loyalties true to fate
Wishing for something less than perfect
When perfect was never all that great
Because perfect makes past not a regret

Shallow waters pool above the ice
That is frozen ever so deep
Sinking right through would really be nice
Because there would be depth we could keep

But as for today these envious hearts are broken
There’s a lot more headed their way
They talk much yet never have spoken
Because there’s nothing left to say


What do you think it means/ Is it good bad. okay? How could I improve it?

Do you agree that what you think of someone or a situation is a matter of perception. So if we perceive something or someone one way or another how can we really know the truth?

We are beings of energy, which seems to have a need to have a physical form? Why is such a exsistance needed for an already higher form that we already are?

I believe in God- don't get me wrong- I am NOT athiest . I, however, see nothing wrong with not being Athiest. But, I wonder- why do we base our every action, thought, and faith- on the belief of "God" that could have simply been made up by Ancient Storytellers. We have no proof in this world that a being like God ever existed- so why do so many people believe in him? There is no proof except for old drawings, sories, and books. I hope this question is not offensive to anyone- it is simply a 13-yr. old's inquiry.
