I need to do something real; to make a difference somehow.
I was reading about Oxford University on Wikipedia and it seems like the oldest university in the modern world, well-over eight centuries old and comparable in age to Plato's Academy. As I looked through the site, reading about this historic place, I began to think about education in a broader spectrum and remembered an unsourced quote that likened lack of education to lack of food. And now I am reminded of the immense poverty that plagues the world. I wonder how can the superpowers have such incredible wealth and some peoples have none at, not even a dime to buy a loaf of bread or a cup of clean water. It seems all too true that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer, in terms of wealth and opportunity. 

Everything has become a commodity, even 'some aspects of human life have been sold off' Are we placing irrational value on money? Yes. And as globalisation speeds ahead are some being left behind? Indeed it seems so. What happened that made money more valuable than life itself? Or what put price on a life? Is it the relativism of the age? Where are we headin'? 

I can't imagine what my personal situation would be like if I had not attended primary school or secondary school. I love learning and in pondering the extreme lack of education it seems like one of the greatest privileges to be able to go to school, to socialise and to learn. So I feel some impulse or need to do something; to make some difference in a good way. The only thing to consider now is the how.
