No Hidden Connections

There are no hidden connections. Everything is crystal clear.
Once blue and living oblate spheroid, is now black, red and is ready for its own mourning. Human population is burgeoning, natural resource are depleted, pollution is rampant, inequality is widening, countries are locking horns, people are at each other throats, ubiquitous fallacy of growth and development, unsustainable modernization and uncontained globalization, communal terrors, natural calamities, man sponsored widespread diseases, haaaa....Never has been in the Earth's history or Mankind's history, state was so horrific dangerous and decadent. In spite of unimaginable growth in terms of science, technology, economics and education, our world is in dire straits. Or is it because of science, technology, economics and education. I understand that every invention has both promising as well as dark side. Be it a invention like "human organization" such as community, religion or statehood; be it a scientific advancement such as energy conversion, resource usage or communication revolution or societal leaps such as invention of culture, agriculture or trade systems.
But, is it not our tacit responsibility to accept risks when we embrace benefits of any concept or idea?? Is it not a thing of common sense to mitigate or address the negative impacts while you reap the benign fruits?? Is it not human to temper our passions and hedonism with wisdom?? Is it not our moral or ethical obligation to think at least about state of human life and global situation, let alone doing your mite for betterment??

When I'm spending 12K for a pair of sunglasses, there are people dying of diseases because they cannot afford medicine that costs 1200. When I earn in terms of thousands even when I'm on leave why is it there are so many people who toil day in and day out just for 100 even when they are sick? When I'm relishing exotic cuisine from Cuba and China in a posh restaurant in India and totally safe from...people are dying because of starvation, communal & ethnic warfare, and state policies. Why is it when I can blog in 5 languages, millions of people barely read or know a single word in any language. Why are so many females missing, why is this global social warming, why is it some idiots haughtily not sign Kyoto protocol and squander fuel and earth’s resources...without sparing a thought for thousands of innocents getting deluged by floods? Whys go on.... are endless.

My mind suffers unimaginable pain to accept thoughts such as "Randomness" "Karma" "Luck" "Fate" "Destiny" or "Nihilism" as plausible answers or reasons. I don’t deny the fact that every reality has a factor of "unknown element" but I clearly know the reasons, causes and conditions out of which THESE emerge. I see the CONNECTIONS.
Access to proper food and health, education (literacy), provision of employment and entitlement to equity and freedom will completely ensure the eradication of woes plaguing the vast majority of mankind.
Governments, welfare organizations, economic bodies, NGOs, and influential and empowered people can really make it happen. If they turn a blind eye or make-pretence deaf to their wailing & dying cries....as they have been doing these many years...then they would be consumed by the seething social cauldron sooner or later.
"The greatest tragedy of society is not trident clamour of the bad, but the appalling silence of the educated and the good."
