As time has passed

We all can witness the degrading of Earth, not only in its physical state, but also in its emotional and social states. Not only are we witnessing giant puffs of smoke released into the atmosphere, but we are also witnessing the huge rifts of differences built up in the society. Not only are our physical resources like coal and petroleum getting depleted, but also are our inner wealth of kindness and mercy. Human's continued existence on Earth is not possible without a proper environment- fresh air, clean water, and safe food, similar to what we all know, but, human's continued existence is equally impossible without a proper environment, environment in this case means- Humanity, Sense of belonging as one, Honesty, Mercy , Kindness, etc. to name a few.

As time is proceeding forward, and day, weeks, months, years, and decades are passing by, we may be becoming technologically advanced , discarding our previous technologies, and building new ( I am sure, this is good ), but we are, at the same time, proceeding backward in the process of retaining our moral values. Human values are getting lost in the sands of time, and our only hope of discovering them is by looking back at the scriptures, paintings, etc, that claim to effectively capture past.

As time has passed, we have surely lost the meaning of the word 'LIFE'. Life nowadays is all about achieving success, and no longer about a medium to find happiness. Man and Woman in this era live in order to succeed, and not to find happiness or joy. The teaching of our holy scriptures and ancient books of finding happiness in our daily life, of being in accordance with the Law of Attraction , and to live a life of compassion and high moral values, is scarcely applied.

As time has passed, several of our skills that were considered inane and natural have been replaced by more specific and goal oriented skills. An example to illustrate my above statement is- In ancient times, people did varied tasks that gave them a title of an all-rounder. Ancient Scholars were painters, writers, scientists, inventors, composers, etc, and all the qualities in one. Modern Scholars are more specific, and goal oriented. Modern Scholars may know more than the Ancient Scholars in a particular field, but there overall knowledge remains very small in front of the Ancient Scholars. Modern Scientists are ignorant to music composition, painting, writing ( some say, scientific publications are the dullest and the worst form of publications ), etc.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the modern era has polluted our minds with thoughts of selfishness, thoughts of being successful , and thoughts of greediness. A change, as I believe, can only be brought about, not by talking about it on the National Television, but by working towards it on our personal levels.
