Never have so many people, been so formerly educated with advanced degrees, than what we presently see in society. If by that education, and by those people, alone, we were to live thereby in societies of peace, love, compassion, justice, and fairness, then all would truly be well; but, rather in far too many circumstances and in far too many cases, people living in the same general community, are too often vastly different from one another, so that in many aspects, it is as if they are living completely separate lives from one another, though they are within a neighborly distance of one another.
This signifies, that when a given country believes it is worthwhile to take a somewhat detailed census of its people every ten years, then it has the absolute obligation to actually do something constructively with the information so gathered from that census to thereby address those things that have made for societies that are grossly unequal and further have placed certain peoples into the seemingly hopeless position of not being able to functionally benefit from living within a great nation, or to have the ready means or tools to actually be self-determining sovereign individuals.
So then, any country that will not take the time to first learn and thereby apply that learning about their own people, is not going to be a country that can possibly be structured in a manner in which it will be fair and equal. Further to the point, the more unequal any society is, the more clearly that country has ignored or bypassed or exploited certain segments of society, in order to benefit the few at the expense of the many.
After all, the whole point of learning, such as in science or just about any subject manner, is to understand things in a manner in which the knowledge so gained is truthful and enlightening, for anything else is less than learning in a thorough and comprehensive manner. This indicates that in order to be of service to our community, that we have an obligation to know the people of our community in a thorough enough fashion, that we are able to fairly understand them, and from that understanding are better able to be of valuable service to them.
So then, it can and should be said that a lot of the issues that communities have is the failure of those that lead those communities, to actually know them, as well as to actually validate the people that make up their community. It is of far more relevance to know one’s peoples, then most of those that create and enforce social programs are seemingly aware of. That lack of good knowledge has real repercussions, in which even those that are uninformed but have good intentions can wreak havoc upon its own citizens, and thereby keep those communities from both advancing and of being in harmony with the nation’s fine principles. This means that a wise community knows its own, and from that wisdom, communities positively progress.
