"We cannot talk meaningfully about the motivations and intentions of any institution, only of those who constitute and govern it." - Joseph Stiglitz, Globalization and Its Discontents

Even in this day and age, it's clear that not every institution of any kind sucessfully carry out their agendas while staying true to their espoused values and missions. It's a lot easier to steer a boat in the rough sea than it is to direct the boat to a specific destination under the same conditions. Because of this, it's important not to dismiss and ridicule people like me (I do have this tendency) who have received an education that emphasises on social awareness and responsaibility. I just don't think it's fair to dismiss people who others have condemned for their childish visions and naivety. In fact, it's these people who have inspired great films, poems, and compelling stories that have captivated and positively influenced many others, and who give us hope and optimism of the future. Forget about existentialists; they were practically insisting on a completely different clause!
