Every creature born on Earth must immediately begin to learn first
the basic survival skills and techniques. From the moment humankind
newborn's umbilical cord is severed the child is forced by Mother Nature
to learn. First thing the newborn must learn is to inhale and exhale
air; to breathe.
Patterns set by Mother Nature and life are clearly guiding humankind
towards gaining knowledge and evolving into a more intelligent being.
Also, due to the laws of nature for every force there is an opposing
force and for any action there is a reaction, which means we must learn
how to deal with medieval backwardness; the opposing and hostile forces
to evolution, knowledge and wisdom.
In reality humankinds are students in the university of life taking
mandatory courses. The failure or success of every single one of us,
students of life directly depends upon our own actions and behaviors.
Peace of mind and true happiness are by-products of knowledge and
wisdom, which naturally will lead to the development of a visionary
and utopian life on Earth.
On the other hand mindless pursuit of happiness will lead to violence,
greedy materialistic and consumerism lifestyle, causing enormous environmental
and social degradation.
Mindless and frivolous pursuit of happiness is an excuse to encourage
and engage the whole of the society in one of the oldest deceptive and
destructive exercises, which is the search for a superior moral justification
for greed and selfishness, at all costs.
Sincerely,
Bahram Maskanian
