Where's Humanity Leading To?

The clock just struck midnight. One more minute and it's a Sunday morning. I couldn't fall asleep and so I opened my Dad's poetry collection and read some of his old poems and they actually made me happy, on the inside. They are so eloquently written and beautiful too. If I could be half the writer he is, I would be more than satisfied. That would remind me that my life, is after all, not a total waste.

In one his poems titled 'The Saviour and The Saved'  he ends with a doubt: 'Where's humanity leading to?' That's what I want to discuss in this post.

I don't mean to suggest that everything I say is the truth. Some may agree and some may not. What is reality and where is it taking us? Humanity, the people inhabiting earth, so to speak, first of all has no humanity at all. Secondly, they still have no humanity. It pains me to see how the world is so driven by media these days. The love is gone. Everyone has a middle-class materialistic view now. Take the example of the ipod for instance. No doubt it's one of the greatest inventions but people are starting to care more for  the ipod and less for the music. It has become more of a status symbol. What I mean to suggest here is that people are focusing on the wrong things all of the time and it is sad that we are not doing anything about it.

Coming back to the question of 'Where's humanity leading to?' I say that it is leading us to nowhere. That is where we are heading.
