Even as I get busy with my routine works which mostly concerns with generating income for livelihood or enhancing wealth for a secured and better future, at times I can’t help but pondering about certain other philosophies of life too. While most of us are mostly occupied with money or materialistic matters for a substantial time of our active life-span, where all these are leading us to? In fact, at times I feel as if most of us have come to existence in this world only to deal with such matters. Here, I am excluding those few who have dedicated their lives to various humane causes and spend most of their time on these. For the rest of us, it’s just living, eating, earning money, buying things, building things, doing good or bad things occasionally etc. etc. and then dying eventually. What else for most of us!! The poor are trying to get rich and the rich richer. By the time one probably looses interests in these, if at all one looses, they find themselves in the fag end of their life when one is kind of exhausted and not left out with much energy or tempo to do anything substantial. Ironically, most of us know it and yet do not have time or wishes to contemplate it seriously. We simply tend to ignore it throughout the most active part of our lives.
Well, I am not trying to imply it is good or bad. What crops up my mind is that after all the evolution or developments mankind has been through, where we are finally heading to!!! We the human beings are blessed with the power of thinking, reasoning and host of other qualities which are only getting sharper in the process of evolution. Yet, from eternity most of us had been engaging ourselves to the same kind of activities, albeit in a more and more developed manner may be. In the age old days we were busy with small houses, wooden wheels, simple foods etc. and now we are into sky-scrappers, bullet trains or continental dishes and so on. We would probably be into much more different things in the times to come, but the basic things remain the same. Since the ancient times generations have been probably continuing to do mostly the same things, indeed in more and more developed ways, and then vanishing after handing over the process to successive generations. That was what probably most of our ancestors did, that is what probably most of us have been busy with and that is what probably most of our next generations would continue to do until the whole process comes to a halt someday, somehow!!!!!!!
