the BETTER WORLD

“Change is the law of nature”. Every strike on the clock is a symbol of transformation.  From the microscopic change in the movement of tectonic plates to the massive movement of celestial bodies: everything is under the equation of change.

It is an integral part of our life. We see it in varied forms like Sunday turns to Monday. Not to forget the change which has been with us since the earliest of our development: we were kids, not even able to walk in yesteryears while now physically strong and mentally built. To perceive it we need to consider certain parameters like dimension, color, texture, temperature, movement etc. but these are only indicators. The true observant of change is one and only TIME.

Our existence can be traced back to the Stone Age, when man had only hairs to protect himself from the extremism of weather. He was helpless to the occurrences of nature. Only thing he could do was to watch. Thus, he started observing things in nature, formulated his observations into equations, experimented to crack the mysteries, and after ample of endeavors he succeeded and modified it according to his needs.

It takes a blink to change a paragraph and so does a paragraph for a period. Today, we have resources that fulfill our every need. We can cultivate in deserts, shelter our body from harsh environment, enjoy the warmth of heaters in winter and cold drinks in summer, communicate and travel in air, and use antidotes for illness. We have ample of means to satisfy our necessities; even if we don’t have one for now we will devise it the very next moment. We are discovering our needs and so are the resources.

A lot has changed with these innovations. Not only our living but our thoughts have changed. Nowadays, trust has a different name i.e. signature and help is often cited as donation. Friends have turned into competitors and gatherings have become hangouts. Qualification is determined on the number of degrees one holds and success on the number of medals one possesses. Thus, our qualities are measured on the basis of the materialism we have created.

Moreover, our existence has become a function of these inventions. Some time ago, we were shaping them and now they are shaping us. Is this the better world that mankind had dreamt of?
