Imprisoned By Textbooks Or School Education! [Part-7]

The whole sad saga doesn’t end here the confused states of mind moves a little further when after all the hefty certificates the person is termed unsuccessful if they are unable to hunt a job or to satisfy their needs, few currency papers, but then who cares the hobby part or the person is at all satisfied or not with all the proceedings till his/her current age which he/she started at an early age of 2 or 2.5 by then several more tagging, responsibilities takes him over, constantly he/she will be regarded hopeless till their certificates are justified, but the point is anyone worth of only that, few paper sheets will define their worth doesn’t they have the liberty to do and think what they want to, the ultimate outcome is severe depression which may even cost the life of a person if not taken seriously on time now what? every bit goes into vain, the life comes to halt, the devil of formal education grins its teeth by its success of devouring one more prey to its long list of sacrifices.
