Piecemeal peace

 The world is literally going to pieces. Would you agree with this assertion? Yes, indeed! The world IS heading in that direction. Two huge wars are looming large yearlong at least. Hopefully, Mr. Trump would fulfill his promise during the election rallies, and stop wars as he asserted then.

Wars, however, are not alone in breaking the world peace to pieces. Multiple are the causes behind its piecemeal destruction, and beyond the usual typical culprit, that is, dirty politics and greedily ambitious politicians. Since the COVID epidemic unified the world in to victimhood, mental peace of most all people has gone for a toss. It fragments multiply the moment one sneezes, coughs, chokes a little longer. The pulmonary tract tractions mental peace now!

What can better such a condition? In its infinite wisdom, the UNESCO suggests that it can be science, and I suppose thus is involved its practical application, namely, technology. Can science and technology truly lead us toward peace? Can peace thus get a piecemeal chance?

Yes and no! Yes because pure science is the base of many a technological gadgets that create better health, better communication, better entertainment for the masses, and better modes of knowledge and wisdom for the cognoscenti who then explore better and deeper the principles that govern the very universe, within, that is, in every mind, as well as without, that is, beyond the known boundaries of space and time.

No because most human minds are terrible. They would use promethean powers the frankenstein way, and create monsters who mollify the very concept of peace. The history of the world is full to the brim with examples that can prove this truism valid zillion times! 

Well, it is not the mistake of science and/or technology that they are thus misused. The mischief monger is the human species. Human beings need to be humanised if peace is to get a chance to prevail. May be, more meditation centers and multiple yoga days are needed the world over! What say?

Pratima@Peace is piecemeal/Peace can be full/If permitted is the criminal/not peurile intentions foul!!!
