Natural Progression - Going from bad to worse?
Over the years the humans have roamed this planet, we have been trying to make things better for ourselves. We have stayed true to this underlying sentiment, but hope we all can agree that things have gone from bad to worse.
Every single invention or discovery of humans has lead to balance of the planet being tilted towards the worse. Take from the discovery of fire or invention of weapons, all that we ensured was that humans were able to destroy more and more easily than naturally required. Natural requirement for man has been survival and pro-creation. From the day life is born, it is going steadily towards its inevitable destruction. Sure the humans have discovered and invented ways of delaying the destruction, but have not been able to stop it altogether from happening. Let me try to analyze the inventions and discoveries humans have made in different areas to see if we have actually progress towards the better:
There have also been many inventions in the medical field that have been counted towards leading us towards a better form of life. All these inventions have done is, reduce the mortality due to relatively weaker forms of bacteria or viruses. None of the inventions have been able to change the inevitable; at best they have been able to delay it by a few years.
This industry is credited to most of the inventions which have apparently made our lives simpler. There cannot be a much bigger oxymoron than that statement. Although it is true that traveling long distances has been made simpler, moving heavy materials which earlier was impossible has been made possible, more such activities which earlier could not be dreamt off has been done with ease thanks to the engineering industry. But like many wise men earlier have said: For What. None of these inventions were absolutely necessary for basic human necessities. Invention of engines and cars has taken this to a further higher level of destruction.
Over time many wise people have said, the only thing that is certain is change. Change by definition means the existing has to go and something new will take its place. If we agree that nature has a built-in mechanism for change, it would mean that everything that we see around us is in a process of evolving and headed towards eventual death.
My question in this regard is, is this the natural progression? Is it possible that this is the natural progression; going towards destruction? Could this be how nature has intended everything including itself to be?
