I have often heard the expression, "The Real World." What do we really mean by this expression? Or what is the implication of this expression? In light of this statement, i have a humble question to ask. Is it not "real" to live a life absent of technology, politics, science, computers, and things that we use to describe what is real or isn't? Why is "real" consist of business, economy, finance, and not "real" to live a contemplative life. It's a dichotomy that has been set in place to dishearten the individual who desires to live a life absent from these categories that are used in the "real world." If such person decides to follow this path, culture labels the individual as a "Nomad" or "Desert Man". Therefore, if i have the opportunity to mentor someone, my advice for that individual would be to beware of the "real world." This giant that has taken a throne in our culture, invites us all to bow down to his knee or else we will be an outcast from the "real world."
