Winners and the history

When we look at the history, all the losers are depicted as the wrong one. Always the hero got a lot of hype and were considered as the role models by many. It is a human nature to put the winners in an exalted position and losers at the opposite. The power a winner get equals the reputation and the power the loser looses. One occupied the success, then those who represents ( family, group, or a nation) get exalted as well. We saw this with many. When the British conquered majority of the land, the privilege was extended to the next many generations. The great grandfathers made their grandson the lords. They could beat, tax, trade, or kill the slave in accordance to his will. The slaves are suppressed to follow only the commands. History privileged few generations. It took many life’s and great protests to break the shackles of slavery.

But this is just one case, whenever a history was made and declared the winner, then the losers are the “immigrants”. They are not permitted to do anything the winner or the their generation does. They are not allowed to wear their favourite dress, they are not allowed to sit in a public transport or even to eat the same food as the conqueror. What a winner has an advantage over a loser doesn’t matter. But what matters is whether you’re a winner or not, this decides everything.

George Orwell was totally right when he said "those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future"

People try to make their lives better by doing several things, in the end we could say that they were indirectly trying to improve their focus. Focus helps is to accomplish things within a very short span of time. There by reducing the time wastage and leaving things perfectly finished. With focus, we can complete even the task that now feel like impossible. People often neglect this fact try their best to make a difference in their lives by merely altering the surface. That may do good in the short term. But in the long term, it does nothing. We have to change ...

Finding solutions

How we see problems is the reason our solution is the way it is.

Power greed

The greed for power and money made humans do inhuman things. slavery was one of those the product of power greed. It began from the very personal level and extended to the macro level. We see geopolitical tensions arising among nations. We can observe the development ongoing to make themselves powerful. nations investing in military, science, technology, and economy has this side to show power than making the country a better place. This race to power blessed humans with a lot of inventions that modernized our life and made our lifestyles better. But the flip side is that it led to the greatest wars that humankind ever witnessed. It killed people beyond numbers and put a lot of lives miserable. Every event comes with pros and cons. The cons side requires years or decades to settle. the radiation effects in the nuclear-affected areas, slavery, climate change, plastic wastes, racism, caste, inequality, and man-made diseases are prime examples.
