Human Reality

"And the busier it gets, the more numerous the human species becomes, like some species of insect, tireless over-achievers in the evolutionary struggle. And hundreds of millions of human beings exist in poverty, disease, and squalor, rich only in their perseverance and their self-surpassing dignity. And the few – shameless self-enriching bourgeoisie surrounded by the desolation of the many, shameless self-empowering governors manipulating the bodies and the minds of the many – use all the power that science and engineering have put into their unworthy hands as if it were their personal possession. The quality and quantity of evil keeps pace with the quality and quantity of good."- Allott, Philip, Reconstituting Humanity- New International Law

Harbinger of change

The society cannot endure drastic change. There are persons with aim to change the society with an aim to curb corruption, establish peace and equality etc. Such persons are avoided by the society and sometimes, have to abscond due to pelting of false allegations on them. Conspiracy may be plotted by a few, but, the whole society will join hands to destroy the person. These days, such a conspiracy against some of the IAS officers has been highlighted by the media. I hope, the society understands them and supports them, so that we can celebrate true change.
