It is always mentioned that this world should be made as equal as possible where every body have the rights to owned property and have obtained wealth. This is what capitalism thought, and this is what the world large capitalism state taught the world population, that everybody has to be wealthy, in order to be happy. this kind of capitalism thought is what modern education teach our future generation of human races. But the problem persists, why war still erupt in modern world? Why society and nations that preached capitalism so widely as United States and United Kingdom is still suffering from social vandalism and social disorder? Why are there still be unequal trade that eventually lead to poverty? And the main problem is why human race nowadays does not be more happy than before?
What does actually human being needs? Human being fundamental needs was shelter a place they call home, human needs food and also cloth. When human being had acquired this in abundance what does human being needs in the next stage of their history development? Human being needs “happiness”.
How could people define happiness? Everybody have their own definition of the word “happiness”. Because people have different needs that could make them to be happy. For example in the Tibet, after the Chinese occupation, China Han people bourgeois had started to move into Tibet to open up business, educate Tibetan people, rising the standard of living of the Tibetan people and others measure to civilised local people. But then why do Tibetan person still opposed to the Chinese Government rule? Mainly because this is not what the Tibetan people wanted to be happy. Tibetan people don’t need “rising standard of living”, they don’t need formal education system, they don’t need modernization. They don’t need all this to be happy. So no matter how well the Chinese government introduce their policy to the Tibetan people, no matter how good the policy is, the Tibetan will not say thank you, because this is not what they wanted to be happy.
When I visited Vietnam to the Hmong village, I saw how capitalism education had poisoned many of the minority race minds. With the introduction of money, the whole Hmong society had being corrupted. When I wanted to take a photo with little children in that village, that little girl turn away, and request me to pay if I wanted to take a photo with her. Before I go there, I had taken notice that the Hmong people primitive life had never taken money as a need. The primitive life of the Hmong people trade in barter system where they exchange with each another. Their life was much easily to be pleased and satisfied and they could become happy very easily. But since the Vietnam people started to introduce money, introduce education the whole society become corrupt and they no longer become happy.
The education now we are having is the capitalism education, which satisfied the needs of modern and more civilized people. But for minority people that have a different ideology and definition for the word “happy” they should be left alone as they were. Forcing minority the way of ours is by no means to create happiness for them, it is just a means to create happiness for ourselves.
But some people will think that will this resort to inequality people different human being, where they will be people to be exploited and others to exploit. Yes, undeniable this will be the fact. In here I will give an example.
For example a minority people like Hmong people, Tibetan people or Mongolian people. When in their primitive state, when civilized people engage them in trade for handicraft. Civilized people may use 10 dollar to buy primitive people handicraft and sell it to the market in 200 dollar. This is obvious that civilized people is exploiting the primitive ones causing them unequal. My argument is that the why do people mind whether it is unequal or not as long as both party is happy. For the primitive people 10 dollar maybe all that they wanted to be happy. Things got awry when capitalism come into play, with the introduction of money to the primitive people, teaching to them about how unbalance is their position and how supposing “unhappy” they should be. This will eventually cause hatred between the primitive minority and the civilized people. Destroying happiness for both primitive and civilized people.
I also learn this during the war between American Red Indian and the American Whites people. Their relationship was at first peace and good. The day of thanksgiving was to commemorate how the Red Indian had serve good food to the white people when they first came to America. Things got awry between both of the people because of American white people unable to accept the primitive ways of the Red Indian and force them to abandon their traditional way of life causing the Red Indian to be unhappy.
Unequal as may seems, but it may provide happiness for human
