IS MODEREN CIVILIZATION IS A SUCCESS???


To civilize something means to bring it out of Barbarism. When we talk of modern civilization, we take it for granted that the existing conditions of society are an improvement over the ------ times which prevailed in the dark ages. Knowledge and science has given us tremendous powers. We have built ships, computers & aero planes.
We have invented such things of which the previous generation knew nothing. Who can say that modern civilization is a failure?
But … Let us change the mode of our thinking and ask : what is barbarism ??? It is ignorance, rudeness, absence of culture??? In fact!!! Civilization means the conditions of heart not the surrounding.
Are we not bar barons, callous, stone hearted? Are we not rude? We have to admit that despite the mushroom growth of humanitarian societies, we are divided into antagonistic groups.
We do not even have love for our neighbors. A cultured and civilized man is a gentleman. A gentleman should be equipped with the attributes of non violence, tolerance, charity, brotherhood, sacrifice, peace, patience, love and many more things for fellow beings. How many of these qualities does the modern so-called civilized gentleman possess???
We are proud that we are living in the age of books that have great utility. They enliquer
The burden of men’s lives, their sorrows and their unfulfilled hopes. Yet, the world is divided into power blocks. No one can deny that war is evil. Its other name is terror. The dark clouds of 3rd world war are hovering over our heads. Civilized men are superior to the barbarians of the past.
“Enjoy, make few of other and be the successful person” is principle of today.
The modern civilized man is only a modern man. They have atom bombs in their minds poison in their hearts with guns in their hands. The question is again the same.
