Thank God!!!!!!!!!

Thank God!!! I am born in the last decade of 20th century and now have sailed into to 21st century. This thought struck me other day while watching the movie Gladiator . How ruthless life can be, how barbaric we human are, how manipulative we human are.
The evolution of mankind for last 5000 years has been filled with an act of struggle, struggle for existence itself. The struggle with nature, then with other animate beings and then within its own kind. Once the humans could subvert the ecological balance in its favor , then there was no stopping back. The so called human civilization started to take shape. The design for which was done by few Oligarch. The design in itself was flawed which was based on the closed ideas of few who had their personal designs. All the roots of innovation and idiosyncratic ideas were crushed . Result was in the first half it took mankind a 3000 or more years to make a leap. The second half ushered in after the Industrial revolution. The right to question, knowledge sharing brought with it the rapid advancement in technology, medicine, navigation . Advancement was so fast that what was clocked in 3000+ years was being breached in 150 years. Opportunist by nature , mankind realized the luxury of materialism. They realized this life is better then the previous closed life of barbarism. Hence came the rise of MNCs, Universities, Free thinking, Innovations. Now, I find myself privileged enough to be born in this era. Basking myself in the Couch with A/C blowing and reading a book with iPod in my ears I in my weirdest nightmare also can’t imagine myself living in that closed era of 300 years. Those eras are better to be enjoyed in Gladiator, King Arthur genre movies in a multiplex than to be a part of it.
