THE WORLD HAS ENOUGH TO FULFILL ALL OUR NEEDS BUT NOT OUR GREED

These are the words of the “Father of our nation”, Sri Mahatma Gandhi. I am sorry that I have to be very elaborate in introducing him because just a few days back in a TV News Channel during the debate on acquiring the memorabilia of Mahatma Gandhi, I heard a youngster telling that people of today don’t remember Mahatma Gandhi anymore.

Coming back to his above utterings, isn’t it more evident now than ever that because of our greed we have not only destroyed our today (courtesy the Global Meltdown) but also our tomorrow by warming the Globe much beyond the levels where it can keep our future cosy.

It is really ironical to note that if we all lived a life just trying to fulfill our needs there would have been enough and more left for the future generation we have procreated. On the other hand we are working overtime to fulfill our greed in the pretext that we are doing it all for our children, ultimately not leaving a place for them even to survive and live their life.
