Living In Hope

Those of us who grew up close to beaches must have made sand castles in our childhood. Those who grew up far away from beaches made house of cards. Some even used match sticks or small flat stones to build their fancied houses. Later on there were plastics to make bridges and what have you.

And then we destroyed them and started again. At times some one else destroyed them .

Humans like to watch a little destruction that begins with sand castles, house of cards and then improve their skill to escalate it.

History is witness to this strange hobby. Starting from localised destruction to mass destruction has filled the history pages in all civilisations. Sometimes in the name of religion or ideology or even opinion but destruction, all the same, was the trend.

Good part is there is a tendency to rebuild and there lies the HOPE.

 

True. The Creator, The Preserver, and the Destroyer. Brahma, Vishnu And Mahesh. But they do it for a reason.
Humans also learnt it but without reasons.

 

There is a difference. We are well within our right to dismental what we created but no one has the right to even touch it without permission. This applies to your Rangoli and The Mandala. What if somebody else comes and cleans t up without your consent. Same for my sand castles and house of cards.
We humans have destroyed many construction builds over period of times during the first and the Second World War and before that the 100 years of European war. All this in the name of ideology/supremacy. This is what I am referring to when I use the words 'improve the skill to escalate it'. Having learnt the skill of destroying our own creation, we graduate to destroy the creation of others.

 

Yes. We can destroy our own creation for rebuilding or for whatever we like but we cannot give that right to others. But history tells us otherwise. Humanity has survived on HOPE (Highly optimistic on peoples' evolution).

 

Absolutely correct as long as it is by us and not by them. When I say by them I mean by force. The only thing constant is change, as they say, but such change has to come with consent and not by force or coercion. They did it to bring in the new world order. They say Hiroshima was bombed to stop the war, but the war continues.
This is happening every day in the name of what have you- religion, ideology, economy, a piece of land. Building sand castles or house of cards and dismentaling them for fun was child's way of expression but very quietly it became a passion. I do not say don't let them build sand castle or house of cards but aise that is the only way they will learn and unlearn but tell them to keep it a hobby and not make it passion.
This passion finds way in our day to day competitive life today and that is troubling.
