    How much are you optimist about our future?

    Climatologically or ideologically that slots in religious connotations as different religions prophesize, socioeconomic forecasts, epochal episodes like great wars, colonial aggression, hegemonic empires and the like we have room for thinking regressively and it seems the world is getting a worse place to live in notwithstanding scientific progressions on some worth mentioning fronts from genetic engineering to space exploration, meteoric development in technological gadgets.

    Man though environs himself by heaps of things, people, assets but never ever he was thrown abandoned reclusively. Peace and tranquility are past memories. Nostalgically one feels happy but currently he is a lost creature.

    I may sound overly pessimist but this is for argument. Indeed there are things we may revel in or situations that drain us of our moments of rejoicing.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I have some faith in science to solve our problems. It seems possible. I believe the biggest problem with human happiness is humanity. There are too many inherent flaws in us, both against ourselves and others, to ever create a utopia. Well, maybe genetic engineering will help solve the flaws of humanity; flaws being parts of us that keep us from happiness.

    These are just my feelings, I have no data or knowledge to back any of this up. Ho ho ho, it is to laugh.
