Human destiny on this planet is easily predictable and at the same time controllable because our repeated habits of past history don't change over time. The past habits and grave errors continue to outlast our memory and knowledge. At this point of history, a question that arises in mind often is "where are we heading to?" Are we heading towards inevitable doom and gloom or vigorous economic boom and prosperity?
Human fate on earth is not at all unpredictable today. If we understand and recall to mind the past history of yesteryears we can easily know what is going to happen to the mankind here on earth. Even a small child can predict what is the future going to be in this 21st century if we continue to behave as we have been used to for such a long period of time.
As long as we pay less attention to the lessons that we could learn from our past mistakes, it is obvious where we would all end up. Our fate will be the same as Babylonians, Egyptians, Mayans, Peru and Indus valley civilization who no longer exist today. These people flourished, grew, developed and had a great civilization but they all perished in time and space. We can discover only their remains of artifacts, arts, city designs and monuments. They became a history of the past for us. Are we not going to become a history of the past for the new generation who are to come?
I wonder why our government representatives and self-made leaders can't act responsibly to write a history which could define humans as real children of God created in the same image and likeness? The recent recession has engulfed the whole world like a full solar eclipse where only darkness seems to pervade though there is light, hope and faith. This economic crisis is not the first one to occur in the history of human existence. Our forefathers witnessed it before and today we are witnessing it again and I am afraid our children won't have to see this gloom time.
If we think over the events of the past and analyze it carefully, we find that we are only repeating the same errors, mistakes and habits even now. We haven't learned the valuable lessons from our errors. It seems as though we are cursed to fate of making same blunders over and over again. Why can't we be awakened to new light, new hope, new ways and new system to handle our human situation? I think we will be able to solve it easily.
So, where do we want to go from here? Are we making a right decision to survive and thrive or are we heading towards inevitable ruins of past civilization? Human beings have always opposed a harmonious existence on the earth since the dawn of human presence on the earth. Should we allow the same thing to continue even in this new century? The decision will depend on where we are heading to. Let's know the consequences of our decision and action well before taking any drastic decision.
