the realities of the world - to the discerning/observant, it is quite clear cut. to the apathetic/innocent, life seems good.

need we educate ourselves and have some sense of discernment, or juz believe wad is fed to us? i'm not so sure. for one, by economics analysis, there is opportunity cost to any course of action. which should we have? become discerning then act stupid, or juz see the world through nice rosy views?

of course i know the wide spectrum of views to this. but... juz to bring it up for discussion again nia
