there were 439 nuclear power reactors<\/a> operating in 31 countries. What if what happened in Japan happens in just 10% of the world reactors, many of them are decades old. The needs for energy are increasing manifold. India and China are nowhere near per capita consumption of energy as US or Western Europe. If the world lives like the developed world, the entire world will finish within a few decades. Yes, the world at large will never live like US lives. The world at large will never destroy the world like US does.. but that simply delays the final date. Is that any reason to feel elated? Is that even a point for discussion?<\/p>\nBut it is telling that the mankind is simply debating about how the dates of the Global warming are exaggerated. It took millions of years to perfect a species of human by nature. Man, sadly, will take just a couple of thousand years to completely finish its species. Can there be a more lunatic species? Its a wonder that we are the best that nature could come up with.<\/p>\n
When the nuclear reactor in Japan has taken its toll or when the workers there have declared victory on restricting its radiation, the world will go on as usual. The experts will also declare that all the other reactors are safe. This will be the third to be in such a situation. It won\u2019t take many to mess this planet up.<\/p>\n
It won\u2019t take many people to live in a certain way to mess it up either \u2013 nuclear power or no nuclear power. For, its not about Nuclear power, the malaise is somewhere else. Its in our mindset. Its the very essence of an Atheist Science \u2013 which has installed Man as the only definition of intelligence, when \u2013 if one were look at the mess he has created on this planet \u2013 he is anything but! Its not my argument to go to the world of Dark Ages ruled by an Interventionist God, who was in the image of man. That is also installing a man at the helm, who is without any logic. This man at helm is worse than atheist man at the helm.<\/p>\n
When we realize that we are simply borrowing our existence from this entire Universe. When we have a feeling of reverence to every inch of the Universe, then we will be responsible for it in terms of posterity. Then a few decades here or there won\u2019t mean an issue to debate. The only issue to debate would be \u2013 does my act lend itself to perennial existence on this planet and no intervention in the flow of the Universe?<\/p>\n
The more we intervene and tamper, which ever way we use to install ourselves at the helm \u2013 direct or using God as a proxy \u2013 to do it, we will mess the world for future generations.<\/p>\n
We not only have the opportunity to stop the world moving to the disaster, we also have the opportunity to roll back the mess already done. Very soon a generation will be faced with a situation, when roll back will be impossible. It will be enough if they could delay their end.<\/p>\n
Once a frog was put in a boiling water, but it promptly jumped out of it. Then, the frog was kept in water at room temperature and the water slowly heated. The frog died in it.<\/p>\n
Not that I wish bad for Japanese, or other victims of tragedy, but I hope the tragedies play out bigger than they do, so we, as a speies, do not meet the fate of the latter frog!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
