Changing times...

Everyday I see the birds returning to their nests in the dusk. I feel so happy and at peace. This is natural, the nature was always like this. But in the long run, we humans have evolved and changed our living habits. This is the age of global revolution. Technologically and socially we have come a long long way from nomads to cave dwellers of the past....to the very wise and cultured and civilised humans of the present day, where we think we have the best of everything that life can provide us with...with all the happiness and comfort. We have made revolutions in so many fields..eradicated so many dangerous diseases but still we are very far away from being civilised and humanitarian. As peace and tranquillity is loosing their meaning so fast. People were dividing themselves in the name of caste, creed, religion and now they are in the name of money, power and social credibility.

The crisis that the world today is facing now is going to be more aggravated and will be the foremost in the coming future. People will divide themselves for money, power and social status. The values of society will be questioned. And will be questioned in the name of freedom...freedom of speech, freedom to do what you desire, freedom from the bondages of old social values created from generations. People are already questioning, especially the younger generations. They need more freedom than ever. The generation gap is reducing fast.Things are changing too fast, new ideas, new thoughts, new life.They are no more attached to the values given by their parents and grand parents. And this gap is creating confusion and resentment. 

In the coming future, a new world will emerge and the trend is on. Money will overpower all the other values. Every thing we see around us now is controlled by money . And more the money more power in the hands. Power will divide people from their family and country. Death will no longer be a grief but a celebration...celebration of win or defeat. People will mourn not with grief but with anger and revenge. War will be inevitable if this continues.

This trend is not at all good for our world. It has to stop somewhere. War was never good for humanity, it only divides and its always a defeat. Nobody wins. At some point we have to think and make this world a better place to live in.
