Abstract:
In full world peace, a terrible war against the human being and nature is extending its trenches and absorbs in its insatiable blenders the human dignity, living standard, right to live and others alike. It is high time that the mankind to be trenchantly and irrevocably provoked to peace and a sustainable environment…
The present environment, badly worn down and wildly scratched by calamities which determine each other, needs a real truce if there it is wanted that the human being to be able to use it.
The present world looks like the way we want to build it. Would really our children impede us to leave it to them harmoniously, flourishing, daringly in its tireless hopes? If we have already got used to consider our planet with the proud peace given by the fact that we are able to build anything, then what could stop us have faith that our future, the Earth’s future would be better than the present?
The last decades got us used to the reality of the “leaps”. In the most varied fields of the human’s life, we are the witnesses to some triumphal mutations and stupefying progresses that are taking place imperatively and simultaneously. Is there really a price to pay for the progress? Absorbed with a delirious speed in some kind of a time tunnel, the human being is forced to accept the idea that frontier of the impossible became extensible in all its meanings. The undreamed of and fantastical chances become common places from one day to another. These are the matters and thoughts tried to be answered in the lines of this article.
