Mahatma Gandhi, the great soul who ever lived on this earth said, "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed."
When we know the earth has enough resources to last for eternity why do the fearful economists and world leaders preach to the masses that the resources are scarce? Resources are not scarce rather they are unlimited. Only limitation is upon human leadership, vision, ingenuity and imagination.
Over the centuries, majority of people have always kept the old tradition or limiting beliefs firmly and they have never released them. They are still holding on to the philosophy of old beliefs and thoughts till date. As a result, today we are not able to progress and reach the period of high civilization inclusively.
Those who are rich are holding on to their old industrial beliefs and mission which may be wrong yet they want to make their false prophesies come true. The stubborn nature of human pride is not relieving us to forge ahead in the technological advancement.
The word 'god' is the acronym for 'Gold, Oil, and Drugs'. Many people believe today that God is the higher being but on earth it is always gold, oil and drugs (god) the most powerful thing. In US dollars, it is written, "in God we trust," but its ambiguity has fooled the masses and it is costing trillions of dollars worth of life today and how much it will harm people in the future that we don't know yet.
Since the invention of automobile, oil has been the core commodity to market to the world for huge profit margin and oil has been one of the major causes of war, corruption, and poverty. Another product is drug, which has sky-rocketed the wall street business and caused the same problem of war, corruption and poverty.
Gold, oil and drugs have caused great damage to the environment and people and it seems to be beyond human imagination. The selfish nature of people has left a large number of people ignorant, hungry, sick and dead.
The question that comes to my mind is that oil or coal may not be the only available resources to produce energy, there are other clean and eco-friendly resources too. To tap such resources we need to develop our technology breakthrough and it is not impossible. If the dedicated scientists, engineers, mechanics work cohesively to create advanced technology to harvest eco-friendly energy then surely it will become a success. But why don't we develop such technology?
The point is not whether we can or we can't, the deeper truth is that the few most powerful people in the world have no interest in it. They have their hidden mission to accomplish during their life time and creating a technology to solve human misery is not their priority. The twentieth century was a witness to many great inventions and they have very positive impact on people as well as a negative impact.
In the beginning of 21st century we must pledge to develop technologies to improve human condition and I firmly believe that we can really create such inventions to enable all to live peacefully, happily and richly.
The problem with the big people is that they least bother about the masses. They control the economy, the institution, the corporation and the resources and the people are the puppets in their hands. A puppet has no choice other than to follow the dictation of high command.
The masses have been repeatedly fed and programmed by mass media, education institutes and churches that the resources are scarce and as a result there has to be recession, depression and turmoil in the world.
Resources are not scarce, there is enough to satisfy human needs and however resources are scarce to satisfy human greed. Human greed has caused great harm to innocent people because they are ignorant and non-vigilant.
Can we not invent cars, bikes, trains, aeroplanes, ships, rockets and so on without using petroleum products as they energy trigger?
One day our children and grand children will surprise us with their inventions which we would have easily invented and saved the world from destructive influences of the few and they will indeed laugh at us for our lack of vision and purpose.
Let's not think that the earth is running out of its resources. We are passing in time and space and we can never run short of things that GOD the creator has bestowed on us.
