Why this illogical world?

I was sitting by the sunset and wonder why was I born in this illogical world. A world where the great geniuses like Einstein and Newton have made their invaluable contribution, but they were ill treated during their life time, and they are ill treated, even now. Great philosophers and poets without whose contributions the modern culture was impossible to have ever developed, were both punished and made to lead an unhappy life. Was it because of their urge to find out things, their curiosity, or their inability to settle for anything other than the truth.

Last night, I was reading the national newspaper, and I could swear by it that about 80% of the news was about low intelligence men and women with mediocre brains. These people rule the media. No surprise that our society is doomed to be ruled by these people, and eventually end in a dumphole.

What has happened to those geniuses? Have they been devoured by the sand of time, or swallowed by the pressure of the modern era? Have they separated themselves from their unquenchable curiosity? Is there no real human left whatsoever on Earth? 

One big misconception among people is that real geniuses score great marks in tests. Not at all true. All that I can say is that the education system of all the countries around the world is garbage bin, and the only thing that could come out of them is smell, and useless stuff. 

Education needs to be challenging, not about avoiding challenges. It should be about looking for the most that is possible out of a situation, and not what is highly probable. 

The world is misdirected, and so are every man and woman. The only thing that could be done to lead them in the correct direction is by emphasizing on intelligence rather than popularity, emphasizing on smartness rather than the ability to make people laugh or do something reckless. The world needs to change, do does all of us!
