My Response,
Through your ideas you seem to be harbouring the notion that human beings have gone above nature. Let me clear to you that in the infinity or near infinite dimensions of nature, your whole Earth with its six billion odd so-called Homo-sapiens are simply negligible; in the infinitity of time, the life of a human being is for a negligible span. It is not even a mathematical point upon an infinite plane. Your claims about human species are wrongly conceived. Human species is just a very very small part of nature. Your birth, your hunger, your thirst, your feelings, your diseases, your death are all beyond your control. If we assign you a value in number, say 1000000---out of this number, one unit of yours may have transformed nature to suit your human purpose---or to think in your terms "gone above nature", but 999999 is sheer nature. I hope you understand my point. Best wishes! Ramesh Bhat -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <../attachments/20070121/73fffd47/attachment.htm>
