WHAT KIND OF WORLD WE'RE LIVING IN? (NIK ZAFRI)

Originally written on 8 May 2010 at 22:07



We are now living in the world full of uncertainty. With the fast pace of globalization, we too are trapped within the dimension of the unknown and unprecedented.

The word 'Power' now is in the game.

Power has always been linked to two things and two things only - good and evil - mostly evil for those who choose to abuse it. Innocent human beings; without realizing what is happening; continue to live in oblivion (mind you...not the video-game) because of the continuous misappropriation of power occurring everywhere around the globe. (I wonder if the Illuminati mind control using 'invisible technology' is true after all)

The chain effect becomes faster and greater when you; readers; and I; writer says that :

"Aaaah..that's life, so what? Just shut-up and move along - as long as we don't disturb one another, we'll be fine".

Ironically this is still too far from the truth and the reality. Look around you!!

Whenever we say these words, we tend to be lead astray with such rethorical and nonsensical philosophy. When?

When our own planet being colonized, our resources, our lands, our houses, our money etc by unscrupulous illogical human beings who thinks that possessing such 'Power' and 'Influence' will be eternal. And what do they say to you?

"This is Progress...this is Development.... Learn to live with it" and by a blink of an eye,your backyard becomes a development project. If you're lucky enough, you will be given some money and you're gone - shifting from one place to another.

Behind you, the actual words would be :

"You're backwards, you're uneducated, you're dumb, you're anti-progress etc"

My replies would be :

Yes, I'm 'anti-progress' because I'm against people who cut down shady trees or destroy greeneries (for no obvious good reason)

Yes, I'm 'uneducated' because I say : "wow...is this global warming..so burning hot!!
....while walking from my house to the stall just 700m away (been doing this for the last 9 years - for health purposes) - perspiring heavily and rapidly dehydrated - not even a single car wish to stop and give a ride - such jerks!! (those days it was not this HOT)

And Yes, I'm 'dumb' for not following the current destructive trends

Am I the only one who's reacting unexpectedly to the climate changes?

Does climate-shift has something to do with my erratic behaviours?

As I see the progress in the human chronicles - I see :

a) wireless technology evolutionizing itself - WAP, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G etc, PAN, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Broadband, X-Max etc.

But I also see some human beings using 'sophisticated gadgets' are smiling ironically when they see others using a normal conventional mobile phone and in their hearts "Man..you're no where to me"

b) people working and walking in KL, New York, London and other big cities – not having much time to talk to one another - perhaps they are too busy.

But I also see people who are working/walking rarely care for others - say...when they witness accidents happening right in front of their eyes or pickpockets forcibly steal other people's property or hearing arguments which may end or proven fatal,

And I also witnessed people who are too busy rarely looking at elements of poverty amidst the city hustles. They don't care as long as they are OK with money - pay their taxes, zakats/fitrahs etc. then there is no time to have mercy on others.

Ultimately, I now see elements of the dark sides forming - betrayals, ruined marriages, self-centred attitudes, ruined families, liars, swindlers, cheaters, robbers, thieves, gangsters, racists, extremists etc.

So, this is what we have become – more complex under the pretext of “the new way of life” ? or "This is trendy"??

Well..to add up - we see diabetes, hypertension, cardiac arrests, aches here and there etc.

1) So, what modern economics say about equal distribution of wealth are simply lip service?

2) People are telling me about renewable energies – has it been equally distributed?

3) Sustainable Development - is there such a word?

4) How about politics nowadays? Where is it heading?

5) I wonder; in the near future; will I still see tranquility in flora and fauna, beautiful sandy beaches, orchards etc.

6) Will the earth be healed of so much wounds caused by homosapiens?

7) Why are the teenagers today have their own styles, their own terminologies etc.?

8) Will I be left behind and be accused of 'lack of progress' or 'not following the current trend?'

9) Where did innocent little children learn how to swear, curse etc. (wanna prove me wrong? wanna bet? Just visit any cybercafe and look at the kids (as young as 7 years old - I wonder where are their parents?) who are playing games..what do they say when they loose?)

10) Some people fantasizing and delusioning that "he/she is the MOST popular person in the world" or "he/she is the SAVIOR", "he/she is the fairest, most handsome of all", "he/she is the richest of all", "he/she is the most glamorous of all"...gosh.... :-)

11) People who claim that they're so educated and advanced thinking YET fall for online scams, get rich quick scheme, money laundering, pyramid scheme, urban-legends etc. Worse...some bogus doctors, shamans, bomohs/dukuns etc.

12) People who are not thankful for what or who they are - naturally. One who sees, ignores, hates and overlooks the local culture and tried to blend with 'other people's culture' and dare to claim that this 'new culture' are theirs since they were born...this is the BIGGEST JERK OF ALL!

What would be the solutions? Have you got the answer?
