Best said. Yes government disbursement has only to be deemed as a 'due' citizen-share - it is neither a dole nor any reward. Similarly the taxes paid to the government are just its 'due earnings'. - not any fine or favor.

In the traditional Hindu India,, a boy would be 'handed over' to a Guru a Teacher at the boy's eighth year,,, and the Guru would be all in all for the boy till the boy's adulthood of eighteen years ,,, then he would go back into the world --- equipped yo serve humanity .. either through marriage and household or as an independent Individual.

Truth Goodness and Beauty are the cherished Universal Human Values. It by way of Science Ethics and Philosophy !.

Well - this US - 'recipe for disaster' seems to have now become a global problematic...Scrapping corrupt ideologies like 'secularism' 'free meals' 'positive discrimination' have all curbed the individual motivation to 'be and become their best' and even prevented them to 'be an independent citizen' - that thanks to an all too regularized 'vote bank' politics. All these craps should be scrapped forthwith - that will ensure more natural 'equal opportunities'.

It is hilarious - but very true !! Conscience does nag - like a 'mother in law - who is for ever is bothered about her child - son or daughter of the context vis a vis the 'spouse' [the evil] who might take her child wayward !!!!!

Yes Of course: We have become 'Best informed' 'Less knowledgeable' and 'Least wise' .!! The modern-age motto of 'Secularism' of sorts which has so avowedly 'negated all traditional knowledge and wisdom' - labelling them as 'religious superstition'..is the main cause .. and this Ignorance needs to be 'removed'. .
