Once upon a time Robert Frost said " Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense." Life gives you hundred reasons to experiment with your actions but gives you only single reason to prove it. This is ......our real life.
There are various forms of our thoughts ,sometimes it can be illusion ,sometimes reality .But the most important thing is that you have only one life to live your ideology. Values play a game changer role in one's life. Things which have no touch for reformation is absolutely of no use. Yes , ! No use ....it will be just like a toy ....play and throw. We people living in modern society have forgotten our real moral values of living. There have been long time ,people even thinking about their own society. Though poetry is one way of saying things as quoted by Mathew Arnold "Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things."
And .....society is rapidly growing and changing ....changing into worst land....War , conflicts, corruption, exploitation , climate change and Peace is something turning into a global crisis
People have stopped defending against injustice and evil doings, hindered from defining the humanity , caring about each other ,sharing the love and kindness and supporting humanism.Though stated by E.M . Foster "The four characteristics of humanism are curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race".
The essence of civilization is lost. And this result into turning commoners into sufferers, children being victims of such ill mannered society. Violence , hatred ,killings , petty crimes are few features which lie side by side in our living arena .Least expected events takes place in blink of an eye.
Perhaps future of our own generation are brutally murdered by our so called modernity system. In the name of maintaining high status ,and luxurious lifestyle ,we have tend to forget our responsibility and duty towards our own hierarchy.
Where have been those wise thinking lost ?? Where are those power of knowledge buried ? Under which tree ,we modern man will attain enlightenment. Questions flood upon the earth ..and raises her tone " Is this what God and Nature both have shared their didactic words for ages and ages"? Men no more connect with the Universe because he have turned a Paradise into valley of ashes. Absolute use of power and use of absolute power have made us blind . We have not even realized our mistakes. We don't aim for good leadership . Selfish desires ,unwanted wishes , greed for wealth and hunger for more ... have made us blatant . Not only society is eroding ,but earth too is sinking and burning simultaneously.
Once Lord Tennyson framed : "The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." For one reason ...that we have left behind a long time ago ....Values , respect for our old traditions , cultures and the real cause of living.... pursuing humanity .To cherish and flourish as a great man ...we have bring the Reformation in our thinking , in our choices , decisions and change our mindset to really rise into a dawn of new Hopes. For humanism also appeals to man as man. It seeks to liberate the universal qualities of human nature from the narrow limitations of blood and soil and class and to create a common language and a common culture in which men can realize their common humanity.- Christopher Dawson
Unfortunately ....this is too my illusion !!
