Howcome?

It still takes me by surprise to see how people think about equity, equality and fairness. I mean, is it just a tendency among the ones who are more "privileged" that think inequality is a fair game, because without it there would be no competition, there would be no development? The morning class today depressed me, in a way, maybe it would have been better if there were more people who knew the brunt of "less-privileged" in the society! You don't necessarily have to be born in a poor family or low social class to know what it is like. Or maybe you keep your eyes shut, ignorance is bliss they say!

It is amazing how naive people WANT to be about things, how unrelated, as though it is all a competition in numbers and charts, everything is put in percentiles, in boxes, the best comment was "how can China be more sensitive towards Global Warming than USA?" That was like the biggest jolt, so harrowing to know that conditioning has led all of us to a point where we are unable to accept something that is different from our own beliefs, no wonder people kill each other in the name of religion, faith! How different is the thought that "USA can't be less sensitive about China regarding environment" than saying that "Jesus is above any other God in the world, or vice-versa"? Talk about being a fundamentalist, and then trying to learn about development!

Okay, accepted that morality is not a part of economics, but dude, really? Well, i guess i am only rambling because I am so thoroughly disappointed by the class, bad bad start of the day- to a point that i didn't even want to discuss, or don't want to discuss about development or equality or anything anymore!

Meh! Whatever...
