The Jury is still out
We live in a confusing world. A world in which most of the ever -changing boundaries remain constantly blurred. A world in which the ideas of right and wrong have become subject of complex philosophical debates rather than instantly recognizable facts of life.
This level of complexity has evolved in response to human conditions on earth. It is an outcome of a continuous interplay and interaction between all the forces involved in shaping human societies in its diverse forms. A poor outcome? Perhaps. This outcome is often misnamed as 'progress', as though it has had an objective from the outset. Not so. We are the end product of an interactive chain of events, haphazardly formed in response to endless factors throught history.
We are not going anywhere unless we decide to do so.
