When Wind Blows Hard

Today when I was watching documentory related to evolution and devlopment of human kind in internet, many thoughts started bumping into my mind. These thoughts puzzled me for a moment. I firmly believe that we have come long way in every aspect of life through research and development. We did everything which makes our day to day life more comfortable, affordable and enjoyable. We left no stone unturned. Everyone is enjoying the fruits and feeling happy for that. This rapidly growing and time-to-time research is bringing new avenues and prospects for all of us, no doubt about that.

On the other hand, we also have regrets for some developments especially those which took place during 20th century. We cannot change outcomes of those happened in the past. For example, whatever the developments tookplace in the area of mass destructive weapons are devastating and futile for us. The only solution to stop this kind of things in future is to regulate and scrap them at the stem stage itself. I dont see any governing system which draws a line to protect the interests of human life irrespective of national interests. There were no stipulated boundaries for research and development. Also, i dont see significant budget allocations for most benifitting projects which eventually will improve tremendous scope for future human life. Iam trying to understand the media for a decade. Media has been putting continuous efforts to educate the people about what is going around the world but has it's own limitations, as most of media forms are transformed into profitable corporations rather than benfiting societies. I still remember the quote from one retired reporter " now media do not tell the news to the people but only their views".

Moreover, I always believed that there will be atleast some negative implications for each and every project in any field but when we know that some projects only bring major disadvantages for humanity, why we encourage them? For example, take the projects where some most important food grains are diverted to produce ethanol, which otherwise fulfill the needs of millions of hungry people in other parts of the world. Look at the billions of dollars investments on Mars projects especially when direct benifits are not expected for atleast hundred years(or) take the example of billions of dollar expenditure on nuclear weapons. Why we do this? What is the compulsion of diverting this money for other fruitful things. I never understand that. We never come out of those set of rules and routines. Every one, including me, knows them and also forgets them. We do not have enough time for reviewing what we are doing to human life or atleast we cannot afford to lose this mechanical, sophisticated, superficial and temporarily organized world. We defined the terms 1) Development and 2) Human advancement in our own way which makes no sense atleast for me. We need to set up some monitoring systems which will bring equilibrium and harmony in human development.
