Unchecked Desires

The hullabaloo occurring all over the world in form of stumbling economy, rising terrorism and intolerance among nations to annex neutral territories solely describes what modern world has achieved via unchecked and unwarranted developments in the fields of technology and industrial sectors. The former has led to myriad of mental and physical ailments and the latter has threatened the future of life on this beautiful planet.
The progress of any civilization rests on its innovations and inquisitiveness, the equilibrium in these two aspects harmonizes relations with environment and hence leading peaceful life becomes reality,however imbalance set aside rationale behind any innovation inviting whirlpool of problems culminating in decline of civilization.
The root of sufferings if judged properly can be attributed to lack of self-introspection among individuals, organizations and nations. Every fight is for securing resources bestowed upon living beings by the earth; instead of sharing them judiciously we devote most time of our precious life in accumulating as much as possible and leaving this abode with guilt of  living life congruent to those of animals. In animal kingdom only Homo Sapiens possesses power to think beyond their material desires and if only for mortal pleasures one waste this opportunity nothing can be described as more unfortunate than this.
WE need to arise and awake our mental faculties to unravel hidden sources of power within ourselves and for this the constraint of keeping tap on our hunger of resource accumulation is indispensable.
