Where To.....

 One question that keeps haunting me is where to.

Mankind where to?

The erudite will rightfully tell me - Man - go and do your work. The Almighty will take care of the rest. Very right. No questions asked. Still I thought I'll ask where to? Where are we destined?

Two conflicting thought processes keep coming to my mind - the good that is happening and the not so good that is also happening almost simultaneously.

The world today is reaping the harvest of scientific innovations. The poor and the rich are talking on mobile phones and are well-connected at their respective levels. Improved medication has enhanced the life-span all over. I understand hundreds of NGOs all over the world are working to mitigate the sufferings of the millions.

On the other hand the thought of the Ganges and the Yamuna being totally polluted and going dry in due course is nerve-racking. We are so helpless to keep mother nature intact. Global warming is giving us enough warnings of the shape of things to come - that substantial parts of the world will submerge under water. Most likely then also the seven sages will take a boat ride to safety and a new world will start from them.

So the best way is to keep going by doing what is allotted to you. There is no choice. what else can you do?

The process of  keeping doing the work allotted to me is also fraught with issues. City life is becoming complex by the day. Pressure of population and pollution are making life unbearable. Villages have other issues of gigantic proportions. Soon the money earned will be spent on food and housing only as the increased demand out-manouvres the limited supplies. Now I understand why many people in the advanced nations of Western Europe prefer not to have families.

Being an ever-optimist I am sure mankind will find out solutions to its issues. As long as the Sun is shining and the earth keeps rotating and revolving- mother nature will not fail us. But at the end it should not be that we fail ourselves and mother nature as well. Fighting amongst people has been an eternal phenomenon. Greed for controlling the resources nationally within the country and internationally amongst the countries is nothing new. So as long as mankind is there we'll have strifes. But strifes at what cost? Is anyone bothered?

So !!! Thinking about where to leads me to nowhere! Better that I keep doing what is allotted to me. Only Time will tell.

Glory to the Almighty!! You save us.
