AGE OF DECAY


                                                      
     Gone are the good ancient days when the world was peaceful and men were like angels. When pure souls still died in the cross for the sake of filthy millions. Who would stoop that low today? Those were the days of obedience, and of submission, when God was God indeed in the eyes of all. The climate, then, was still full of life; and we went about business, led by the light cast on our paths by ancient peoples. Those were the days of law and order, when justice had not taken up the cloak of injustice.

      Men with seemingly higher minds strangled the order. They stepped on sacred grounds; they wrote books, and led many astray. Marx, the Manifesto man, Lenin of Russia, Blavatsky the malicious mystic, and Hitler, the king of genocide, brought to the world doctrines so strange and baffling. Millions gathered to launch a war against the ways of old, burning and being burnt, blaspheming and trespassing sacred boundaries. Elliot found the road-not-taken, and bookish minds invented the-age-of-no-standards. Postmodernism was born. Death got hold of earth. 

     Ancient routes, once thread with zest, were all wiped off, replaced by nothing in particular. The pillars of truth came toppling, and sanity, mighty as it were in those days, had a great fall. Insanity reigned; madness ruled over many.
     Relativism, individualism, humanism, and a thousand other despicable isms: objects of man’s present obsessions. Selflessness has become a tale for moonlit; and good morals a thing of the past. “My truth is different from your truth.” “One man’s food is another’s poison.”  New laws have made right wrong and wrong right; all is permitted. Rights are in abundance: desire yours. Everyone has right to make right any wrongdoing. The decay goes on. The falling away goes on, slowly, sweetly...innocently.

5G AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY: A COMMONSENSE APPROACH

Image
5G and the Future of Humanity: Technology is advancing at a scary pace. Just decades after the advent of mobile phones, something impressively big has emerged. You know its name—5G. We can pretend for a moment that this is nothing, and that this, if it is anything, has nothing to do with us, that whatever the “people of the world” decide to do with their rotten lives   is none of our business; but it is not their lives they are playing with, it is our lives. And in the end, this very “business” of technocrats and bureaucrats, which looks far away from us, will become everyone’s business. Whatever blessing or curse lies ahead of us, shall be shared equally to all.  We may not know all that 5G is and isn’t, but we know enough to talk about it: we know of its scientific grandness, we’ve heard that it is like heaven on earth, we know that it’s over twenty, perhaps fifty times, maybe a thousand times better than anything we’ve ever known or heard about. We can download...

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE HUMAN RACE

Image
Dear humanity,            How did we get to this point? How did we, great humanity, suddenly become slaves to insects and germs? Are we no longer gods and demigods, and lords and overlords?   Haven’t we numbered all the stars of heaven, and have reached, with our telescopes, the innermost edges of the universe?   We’ve solved the dilemma of communication, have captured entire realities in affordable screens; we have sent our men to the moon, have had our places among the stars, have peered into the dark chambers of the human heart. Still, we remain wretched.           We say we are masters of everything but each passing day, everything humiliates and enslaves and rules over us. But we never stop boasting.   We call ourselves what we are not and had never been and will never be: we say we are the sweetest apples of Eden, the most enlightened offspring of nature, ...
