Lots of people in many developing countries still often blame corruption, religion, education system, political class, rule of law, foreigners – old and new, etc. as the problem of their countries.
Those who did and continue to do should know that their observations, or of others with which they agree, lack the potential to bring progress.
How much can corruption grow in a high purpose society? What is the reach of religion in any society that has a destination? What does education mean without advancement as a goal? How much can foreigners persistently harm a people, for an extended period, if some of the unaffected decided to find a way to grow?
There are different categories of developing countries, some are adrift and may never be found, while some have some hope. There are some developing countries where people, at least, care about a threshold they shouldn’t plunge. They try to maintain boundaries, as individuals, in benefit to society, in cleanness, some form of order, etc.
There are others where anything goes, as worse as it can get, it goes. They have no care about their society, other than what is possible for themselves or associates.
Most developing countries are low purpose societies. There are some developing countries where all those working in some sectors all do work of low purpose. They get paid and have reports, but all they do is zero. In many developing countries, the entirety of some sectors have so few roles of high purpose, it may be just a one-digit number of people on it.
Many low purpose societies have never made progress, what they have is a progress of adoption, such that all that is modern about them is brought from elsewhere, and if removed, they are no different from centuries ago.
In those societies, their distances are longer because with low purpose as the dominant ideology, they don’t learn to overcome barriers, they accommodate barriers as an easy way out in the present, making the future complicated for those to live it, who also won’t find a way out.
If they say a country is poor and has no money to develop, poverty is their lower problem with the absence of purpose. Assuming they have people in those countries with high purpose education, they could have found a way to grow without money.
In their doings in those societies, money is enough. Problems begin and end with money. They forget that money, though powerful for purchase, is weak for advancement. There is progress that requires far farther than what to buy. There is nothing money overcomes for a low purpose group.
In those places, their processes are longer, since purpose is low, why should it matter. Education changes nothing about most because money is the goal. There are people there doing things of different names, but their true objective is money, status and comfort.
Low purpose is the major problem of most developing countries. Purpose is an evolution of at least a thousand years. Some nations that rose without that duration had something around them.
They may have had others who grew, or some history, or they may have known of growth in a way than far more than a few did.
So, when things started gathering, they went for the purpose of advancement.
Least purpose people have no path – whether long or short, because anything excellent combined with low purpose becomes null.
Education does not work. Not because they don’t have schools or facilities, but low purpose eats them up before they begin.
Being low purpose, they will continue to find others to blame for their problems, but what has entangled them, wrecks them.
