The Human Quest

"We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction.
Author: Dora Russell"

Such a meaningful quote at that early stages of mass destruction. I wonder what man actually wants to acquire knowledge about. I think knowledge has to be acquired for the better prospects. But, too much of anything is definitely not a good sign. But, one thing is sure that man wants to make earth the better place to live. So is all this research, and acquisition of knowledge. And i call that a QUEST that can only start but never ends. Reason is very simple, why is that we think and feel happy that we discovered something new or invented something new? If you think for a while, infact there is nothing that is created by man. He definitely has limited resources. Every particle is already made and pre-exists in this universe. Man just explores to the new directions and dimensions of it. But again the achievement of the man can not be ignored. Now, the LHC experiment that is going on will definitely create history and bring new books to the science. what ever we are acheiving or acheived is still incomplete. But the kind of resources we are consuming is not being put back. And that is creating more problmes. God has created this wonder planet called earth with all the resources which are not meant only for human beings. Because, in reality we are just a minute part of his creation. But I can say he felt very proud of himself when he created a species called humans. Here is a thing to understand in much simple terms. God is the ultimate scientist, he has a purpose and he wants his deeds to be fufilled. But his wishes, dreams and goals are everlasting. And he thought that he can not do it all alone, so he started creating tools for himself. He began his expirements and started to create different species, but he was failing to acheive what he wanted. He created the plants, but they were still, and was not much of help to him, he thought. Then started creating different species that move, but they were not great help to him either, he thought. Experimenting and failing a number of times, he created the most powerful tool for himself called human species. But, he is the ultimate master and a mind blowing strategist. what could have he done with all the things that he created and co-existed with us(humans). He again created the environment, seasons and all that could balance his mistakes and he made sure that every particle of his creation is not a waste but a cluster of the entire cosmos. This is where the ecological balance comes from, it is the dependency. Everything in this universe is dependent on something for itself. God, was very happy that finally he made his tool, and one greatest thing he did was to give a place forhimself in his tool. I mean he placed the knowledge of GOD only in humans. But, we have come to a situation where we are trying to study our own creator and understand. There is nothing wrong in exploring and finding out the origins. But, it is our responsibility to put back what we have been taking from this planet. Let it be water, air, earth, or even the food. It is our responsibility to repect the presence of our co-existing species. And it is our responsiblity to maintain ecological balance so that this heavinly earth would not perish one day. All we can do is our part. Let us not do the impossibles, but the very basic things, like plant a tree, a month. what ever plant it might be or where it can be remember the whole world is ours. And if that is difficult for you, then a very simple thing that you probably can do is stop smoking in public places. If that too is impossible, if any hyderabadis reading this, much easier thing is do not cross the red signals and abide to the road rules. There are a plenty of things that we can do to maintain ecological balace. As we know God has failed so many times nearly 2,00,000 times creating so many creatures to follow his way. Let us not make him fail that 2,00,001 time again. Let us not make our skies weep untimely......I think i am going to do something for this and hope you also contribute to this....................
