Directions (Q. 1 – 3): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.<\/span>
\nThe interesting thing about material things is that they only think of happiness; how much happiness is always momentary in mature. Ergo, at this future, you feel you are the happiest person in the world, after buying your new car or flat screen TV just a few days later, these are the very possessions that cease to make you happy.<\/span>
\n While you chase the bigger car and spend that extra bit of the wealth, you intercept someone\u2019s share of the daily bread and also sacrifice those who have the maximum power to make you happy \u2013 family emotions and love.<\/span>
\n Prolonged abstinence in feeling emotions finally destroys bliss and you don\u2019t even realize when you\u2019ve become a dry \u2013 eyed cripple \u2026\u2026.. and then you land up in a sermon workshop to find out the real meaning of life \u2013 or whatever these workshops are capable of explaining. The truth is that such workshops are also driven by merchants who cash in on the dejected state of the people, a state created by their own fictional dreams. But by then it\u2019s really too late.<\/span>
\n By then you have made profits out of arms and engineered wars to keep that industry alive. You\u2019re sold guns across country at supermarkets and trade more profits. You\u2019ve lobbied that guns should be made accessible to the common man and all for the sake of profits. This makes you realize one day they are your own children who are in their one of the fire against the school goer, one who open fire at his schoolmates.<\/span>
\n This is the society that finally creates an emotionless monster, who gets satisfaction in killing innocent adults and children alike for no cause, no reason and for none, but himself. It is the utter destruction of spiritualism and the total focus on endless self \u2013 gratification. Where so many single parent families and divorced exist, it is impossible to bring up children or influence the killers, any better.<\/span><\/p>\n
