whenevere I think about life and world in general .. my mind always wanders to one fact that shakes me up and makes my mind question whatever the human race has achieved ....
i always think about all the sophistication the humans have achieved through consistent curiousity, innovation and inventions ..however then it makes me wonder ... were all of these even required ...
man has formulated a finaincial system which puts a price tag even on everything which is available naturally ....there is a price tag on land , water , even on air at some places, on soil, on seeds, on humans, animals , on fruits , vegetables ... why should there be a price tag on things which man does not even create ?
who decided that he owns these natural things ... which obviously are gifts of God ... we have so many people who are landless, homesless, dying of hunger/ thirst just because there is a ownership that has been slapped even on these natural resources ...this all is a result of sophistication, which on one hand has made us achieve heights such as creating the fastest cars, the most advanced communication systems, medicines for almost every disease ... and despite the same we have people who are devoid of the basic resources ...
the only explanation that i can give for the same is the scandal of sophistication ...we have sophisticated people who in order to use the sophisticated resources invented by them , hog more than their share of basic resources .....creating a huge disparity in the way humans live their lives ... so you have some who are enjoying the most sophisticated inventions in communications, navigation, medicine, entertainment, luxury just by the virtue of ownership and a higher consumption share on basic natural resources such as land, food, water... there are others who suffer due to the same ...
time has really come for us to question this system wherein while we are advancing to the moon .. only 10-20% of the world population enjoys the advancements in technology .. while more than 30% population suffers ...
