The
Dying Civilization
The Religious Fanaticism brought the greatest destruction to the world. The dominant people failed to understand the teaching of their scriptures and misguided the
entire clan. The Orthodox Tradition brought destruction to the Humanity in the
form of loss of life and resources along with the destruction of some World Heritage sites which were closely related to Indian culture including the most
ancient centre of learning – Ancient Nalanda University and world’s Largest and
Tallest sculpture at Bahamian Buddhist statue.
Before the advent of
religion, people were busy in the struggle for life. People, throughout the
world, developed in different aspects of life. Even, they developed the process of
worship Nature, without the conscience of religion. They worshiped Nature in
the form of Sun, Earth, Sky, Fire, water, Trees, Planets and other imaginary
celestial figures. They created Myths and Mythology. But their sole intention
was the complete development of the individual. Gradually, they developed
qualities like – Ambition, Greed, Jealousy, and the habit of Conquering others.
When, they could not find the animal to compete with, they started fighting with
their fellow man. The power and ambition to dominate others developed the art
of war and battle.
They developed
administrative ability and skill to lead the community. They became the king
and ruler of the kingdom. Their ambition involved other fellow man to join them
in their war and battle for the sake of country and people so that they could
be able to survive on the earth. Thus civilization formed and took shape. The
people became civilized. They developed language, culture, art literature and
philosophy.
They gradually developed
human qualities like – living together, helping each other in the time of need
and danger. They developed we feeling, love, compassion, kindness. Honesty and
truthfulness were their natural quality. They started developing and flourishing
day by day, year after year, centuries after centuries. So many cultures and
civilizations were born throughout the different parts of the world. Some of
the ancient civilizations may be mentioned here as – Indus valley Civilization
or ancient Indian Civilization, Civilization of Mesopotamia or Egyptian
Civilization, Iranian Civilization or Dazla-Farat valley Civilization and
Hwang-Ho river valley civilization or Chinese civilization etc. So many culture
were born in different parts of the world.
None of the civilization
created greatest threat to mankind but one. That one started capturing the
world through their orthodox tradition and violence. Their philosophy may
engulf the human community one day but violence will remain be there. They are
winning but humanity is defeated. That is the greatest loss of the world. There
are people dying for food. The poor are exploited by the so called elite class.
Technology is developing and it is affecting the food sector also. The farmers
of the country now a days applying the science in the form of oxy-toxin. They are
using chemical fertilizer and pesticide which are creating fatal diseases and
instead of giving life they taking life of the people and earning handsome
money. Such stories are endless. The people who are involved in such activities,
are educated class. And that is the greatest pang of life. You can say it
paradox or even, irony of life, but ultimately, such education is the enemy of
humanity. Most of the people are involved in earning money by any mean - taking the
path of corruption and criminal activity.
Human trafficking is
another great issue of this modern world and the gift of modern technology and
advanced scientific development. People of all age are kidnapped for organ
transplantation. This transplantation business is running by so called
physicians and surgeons who have the precision to perform intricate surgery and
such skills are the result of scientific and technological development. We have
studied that big fish usually eats small fishes, but today, rich people are eating the
poor people. Who can call such activity as the symbol of human development? Who
are really concerned about such events? Who are acting to prevent such mishap?
The only cause of such
destruction to humanity is the greed of people – to earn more and more money –
to lead a luxurious life. It can be said the root cause of all crime is the
desire to enjoy physical pleasure of all kinds – sensual pleasure. It’s a matter
of great shame on the part humanity that a Man eating another Man. This is the
indication of the dying civilization.
