Some points to ponder on

Some points to ponder on :-


1. Learning to live with kindness and compassion - Every human being on earth is loving, kind and compassionate for the greater cause of universal humanism.


2. Also, universal needs of every human, humanitarian grounds and humanitarian code of conduct is not so difficult to understand and achieve.


3. Based on this conviction, a Utopia is not merely idealism but very much possible.


4. It's imperative that our cities, infrastructure, businesses and all other modern technologies that act as a means of leading a better life and lifestyle for all, should be based on nature, nurture, positivity, sustainability, happiness of the mind and heart and a peaceful life (rather than obsession with only 'growth' and 'progress' all the time)


5. When humans bring about a general state of overall positivity, it becomes as important, if not more important than the other indicators of economic growth such as GDP and per capita income.


6. Capitalism will be a flop show if it caters to the evil and dark side and where it is not needed such as endless production and supply of arms, armaments and weapons in the name of defence or whatever the need may be !


7. Military and Defence are their own dark side. Just by changing the words, the meaning does not change. Wars and bloodshed, are in fact the raw words for the Military and Defence budget and their heavy spending to such an extent that they are potentially synonymous. Because it does not always translate into a ‘full-blown' war, does not mean that we can ignore the potential dangers of stock piling and/or ignore the armed conflicts and joint military drills and operations that are always occuring and happening around the world or in some parts of the world. 


 8. Hence, the potential dark side of Capitalism and industrialisation is always destruction unless humanity finds out a way to live without wars and shut down all the further defence and military industrial production for good. Mass production of weapons of mass destruction does not make any good sense.
