absolutely no idea about wat im writing

My reflections today.

Woke up this afternoon at 3.00pm.dint feel like sleeping last night.there was this interesting mini-series called ‘the grid’ on star movies.It basically deals with stuff about terrorism.Osama’s men on the loose.Funny.This particular drama was about bio-terrorism,something that is cheaper than building multi-million dollar nuclear plants,something that can be done for about a few hundred thousand dollars.something that is twice as dangerous,given the ease with these weapons can be manufactured.The whole scenario about the US is changing.The country was once the darling of the world(only academically though,never politically).It’s foreign policy has taken a turn for the worst;the country has revoked many environmental acts,turning the clock back to about thirty years;and who could forget the all famous Gun Control Act which was repealed a few weeks ago.My sis always says”The US does not know the rest of the world”.What the americans are doing now might not hurt them immediately but in the long run,they are bound to lose investments.And what about the third world?What happens to them?They lose out anyway.Its kind of a lose-lose situation for them,for us ,I mean.This world is a funny place we live in.The whole concept of democracy sometimes fails to deliver the the meaning of freedom.Sometime back I was reading the Communist Manifesto, and one interesting concept that was put forward was the fact about employment in a democracy.What it said was that in a democracy a person A gets employed by beating other less ‘gifted’ contenders for that post;but in doing so he somehow steals other contenders’ living.It just sounded like a daylight robbery to me.i mean whats the difference between this and stealing? What we call ‘open competition’ is just a form of stealing.

Having said all this,I wonder at times,if we have developed at all.I know all scientists and scholars will fail to agree with me;but the point I put forward is not merely about tecnological developments.Its about social developments.Have we become a better social creaure in tha past few centuries?Have we improved as a society from those cave dwellers that we were?I think not.

Some scientists believe that life is a circle;we come back to the spot that we were at in the first place.I on the other hand have a different perspective.I tend to think that we are not developing at all,we are all at one and only stage,stranded on this planet.Any sort of development that we come across only provides a sense of false security.Something that forces us to continue living.Its like balancing and running on a giant ball that keeps rotating.You are just at the same spot,always.Any moment of no concentration will result in falling off that ball.One question that baffles me is where is that ball headed?I still havent found the answer to that question.
