We should draw a dividing line between comforts, convenience, ease and real happiness. No doubt, with such wonderful gifts of science, life has become very comfortable and the world has almost turned into a fairy land, but happiness is a state of mind. It does not lie in things of comfort and conveniences. All these so-called amenities and wonders of life have made our lives artificial, hollow and devoid of real charm and delight. Our inner and realself is being starved and stiffed. In this world of scientific advancement, the human values of love, affection, sentiments, sympathy, compassion etc. have been gradually marginalised. Man has become more and more selfish. He has become too much money-minded. Of what use is the possession of the whole world, if the soul is lost ? The curse of King Midas has descended on mankind. Because of gross material pursuits, spiritualism and religion are on the wane. We have no time for beauties of nature, for poetry and arts and for culture. Science without religion and spiritualism is blind. As such, it has led us to more and more unhappiness and discontentment.
The big and divided aims are the real bane of our present day life. We are going at a great speeds, but do not know what is our destination. This blind race leads us to no where, to no purpose. We have produced various types of nuclear bombs. These monstrous weapons can destroy the whole world in no time. The human race has arrived at a point where a slight mistake, a single miscalculation, a wrong move can destroy it forever. In such gloomy circumstances how can we feel happy and glad ? Gas warfare has further added to the gloom.
