The incredible power of humans

Machines are coming. Machines are taking over. But I'm still optimistic. I'm still confident of the immense potential that each one of us have. We the humans have created everything that we are going through at this point in time. Nature is just the backdrop, like a side role in a Bollywood flick. 

True, every raw material comes from nature. But transforming the raw materials into something so different and powerful that one wonders if there is any resemblance between the raw material and the finished product, is the skill of human kind. It's the ultimate culmination of art, science, imagination, observation, perseverance, grit, vision and desire that has transformed our world into what it is today. We have come a long way, from the dark caves to the limelight of the socialite parties, from the era of helplessness to the era of attempting to be God. 

Wait a minute! Are we trying to be God? Are we trying to create us? Yes but then again may be that is what God wants us to do with our lives - create another us so he can be saved the trouble. He can see things and create through us - like a huge microscope that shows you things you thought never existed.

But, where are we heading? The kind of power we have today, we can eradicate hunger from this Earth forever. We can create permanent hallucination for everyone so there is no pain no loss no negativity. We all can live in an illiutionary world where everything is real. By the way, what is reality, if not ilusion sensed through our five senses?

But we are misusing our powers. We are not creating a better world than before but we are creating a world where there is more pain and more suffering.

When I see the amount of fighting and the unrest I see around, I sometimes feel I think it's time for humanity to pass on it's power to the machines. May be then we can stop fighting for power when there is no power to be fought over. May be we will stop fighting for land when there is no land left for mankind to fight over.

May be then we will unite again. All regions and regions, to fight a common monster, a devil who threatens to terminate us all.

I think it may help humanity live a little longer. May be a few more millennia till we again find ways to self destruct ourselves. 

Let's be human again. Let's work with our hands and legs on the fields. Let's eat organic. Let's live more and worry less. let's live today rather than dying for a tomorrow we are not sure about.

Let's be born human again.

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...
