No doubt, our lives are much impacted by our
thoughts and actions. We also influence others, including our children, through
our thoughts, actions and words. This implies that we are the ones who can
easily pass on our weaknesses, our hatred, our timidity and our mental violence
to the future generations. The thought that we are just insignificant living
components in the affairs of today’s world is dangerously simplistic and
defeatist, because we, individually and collectively, unknowingly, are destined
to be powerful craftsmen of the destiny of future generations.
We
may be too small in our own eyes or in the eyes of the world we live in, but we
matter for our surroundings and for the future generations. How do we ensure,
then, that we do not cause any harm to others who live with us or who are going
to live after us? Or, do we consider that this issue is not at all worth
pondering over?
Just
as there is no proof of the existence of the God; there is also no proof that
the God, if He exists, takes ample care of all, notwithstanding the apathy of
the mankind towards humanity, because there had never been a period in the
history when human concerns were found to be totally absent.
The
modern man believes that he is capable of doing anything and everything; his
surrender to the omnipotence of the God, in all likelihood, is a farce.
However, the modern man also thinks that he has the ability to know and
understand anything and everything; maybe, to comprehend omniscience of the God
would suit him better.
