Creating future on liberally expanding rational thinking. A mind fixated to past self destructs.

Faith is but only your story, don't expect universal agreement here

You are handed over a bed time tale or you conjure up a fantasy propelled script or some unproven learning is poured on your head by some smarter idiot whose chief qualification is to speak better than you even if  that is devoid of  any worthy content or is full of political lies. And you name the wisdom so acquired as your faith. 

It’s well so far, no one minds. 

However you go all out to bind others holding them against judging, commenting negative or expressing even iota of disbelief about your story or knowledge which you consider as your belief and your faith. 

That becomes a huge social problem at home, among friends or in society. 

No one but you, is responsible for your state of emotional wellbeing or for any mental fall nor is anyone accountable for keeping your faith unbroken. 

Your faith is your private personal attribute.  Don't let egoistic pride borne out of that knowledge induce fragility to the heart and mind and suck out rationality required to maintain social order and peace. Have heart at least if you are not given a good brain. Try. 


Fossil fuel is needed

Fossil fuels have been our most potent energy partners and engine of growth for achieving present prosperity, the kind we gifted to ourselves during past 150 years.

For proponents of reusing resources, fossil fuel is also recycled bio-waste, dead for millions of years. One way to look at it could be to appreciate earth’s self sustaining quality of empowering human development using its own resources multiple times as it did by providing enormous amount of energy rich hydrocarbon resources from its deep belly, which has helped us achieve present day progress.

None of much talked about alternate fuels have proven to be as efficient as fossil fuels have been. Let’s not cap and kill it just because some section of elite nations have decided to do so on achieving their reasonable own goals while large part of the world still awaits to match their ascent. They too want their ride on this opportunity.

Instead let’s deploy larger resources to develop processes to mitigate or stop any degradation of planet while appreciating this unending process of nature offering us wonderful energy from within our planet.

We need to do more to control and regulate its side effects efficiently while we continue our pursuit for better energy resource to empower our common future.

Tracks of progress

Track has been laid by West on which we all are running and competing presently. That’s a given advantage they have which they attained during past five centuries of incessant smarter work culture and display of courage to take extreme risks to conquer diverse geographies and control over scientific narrative.

If we decide to lay our own fresh track of progress, as rightists keep assuring us, we may need to go far behind to align it efficiently enough to help achieve our singular goals but to also bear risk of losing forever.

Wiser would be to accept west’s gained advantage sportingly and run on same track more efficiently and competitively till we run past them and are eligible and capable to lay fresh track lengths on our own terms where they would run and endeavour to outsmart us. This is more harmonious way to resettle world order rather than live with conflict, self deprecation and victimhood.
