Hi Folks
How does the concept of life (right or wrong) change the perspective
of human vision and define the direction of his activities, we need
not to go anywhere far to understand it. Every one complains today
that falsehood; deception, cunningness, betrayal, corruption, bribery,
injustice, oppression, extortion and exploitation are prevailing in
the world. It looks as if, without any exception of zones or
inhabitants, the germs of these diseases have spread all over the
globe like an epidemic. Did you ever ponder over the cause thereof?
Ills were also there in the days gone by, but these were not so
general and comprehensive. With a little pondering, this reality will
be established that its basic cause is the concept of life which, in
the 19th century, emerged in the West and due to the general and
global means of communication spread to ever nook and corner of the
world. All these ills/miseries are the product of this concept. This
concept of life was that the human life is only the physical life and
laws governing the life and the death at the animal level apply to man
also. Survival of the fittest is the immutable law of nature.
According to this law, only the one wielding the maximal scepter of
authority and power has the right to live. How this authority and
power acquired was is no question. The poor and the weak and the
powerless can be allowed to live only to become victual of the
powerful. Every big fish devours the smaller one. Insects are born to
be the food of the sparrows and the sparrows consequently breathe only
to be the prey of the eagles. This is the law of nature, the
constitution of life. It is according to this law that the decisions
on the life and death of individuals as well as Nations are made.
"Might is right" is the exigency of justice. Lion is the king of
jungle, not the goat. If the lion eats the goat, the goat cannot make
complain that it is the victim of oppression.
The animals live by instincts which, though many in number can
generally be classified into three categories: Self-preservation, Self-
assertion and Self-procreation. When the human life is not valued
higher than that of the animal level, obviously every individual would
work under these very instincts, and then there would be no room for
the moral values.
Cheers!
