RELAX, YOUR WORLD IS CHANGING!!!

#WoWLife 28th February 2020

We read stories day in and day out that environment is getting hot. Global warming is a big issue and it will make our earth non-livable and many more like wise-

• Water will soon be over. There will be Third World War over water.
• Air is getting polluted and unhealthy for breathing.
• This year, weather is worse and breaking the record in heat/ cold for last 1-2-3 decades etc.
• Petrol & Diesel are available in limited quantity only. It will be very difficult to commute.
• Several countries have nuclear bombs. They can kill millions of people in a short time.

All these indicate that world around us is changing (degrading) fast and life is going to be tough and it may also indicate that we can’t live on this earth. Our children will be going through a rough phase. We all feel scared, feel threatened regularly. In this process we learn to live in flight or fight mode. Being anxious becomes the new normal which causes all kind of physical issues in our body called diseases.

Please relax, World is changing now, it was not like this in the past and it will not remain like this in future irrespective of all the Huhaaaaa made by so called environmentalist, intellectuals or other subject matter experts. The change is the only constant and only truth. Human beings and life continues to evolve and adapt to changes. Holding the changes or preserving the current environment is much less helpful than adapting to live in the dynamic and ever evolving environment.

Let’s look at some key changes that would have threatened our life/ environment but we learnt to adapt & overcome. Few examples-

• Life was all about agriculture. Industrialization was debated as killer to human kind. It evolved over time and now it’s first choice of employment for most people.
• India & China were richest countries in 1750 accounting for 60% of global production while USA & Britain was only 2% and now?.
• Computerisation was projected to take away employment from people and now everyone is hooked on to it and it’s essential part of life. It rather increased employment and produced new entrepreneurs.
• Coal was the main fuel in the past and we were scared to think a life without it. What’s happening now? We have already forgotten it and enjoying new sources of fuel and energy.
• We always feared about correctly performing our religious rituals due to rapid expansion of urbanisation. Now we have packages available online for the same.
• Global warming is the latest swag. Glaciers are melting and temperatures going up. Relax, it never stopped and it will never stop. Homo-sapiens would find a new way to live through it.

Do you remember all these. May be not. Will the coming generations be aware of all the changes happening now? Certainly not. They will have their own requirements and challenges. They will learn to live or die if they can’t evolve. Some casualties are bound to happen in every era. People who are constantly worried about changes, wish for no changes and aren’t prepared to adapt that change. It’s important to be aware that old norms at every level will get challenged and eventually change.This will continue and be ever evolving.

Just Relax, All you need, just do your bit. Do what you can. You don’t need to try to hold the change and take all the load for future issues. Don’t bother much if you can’t contribute so much. Learn to live in present and learn to adapt & live. Make yourself ready to live in those new conditions.

Learn to live in present rather than bothering about your situation later, new generation in future or ruminating your past treasurers. Keep in touch. Enjoy.
