It is the ability to make something out of nothing that makes
us humans into gods.
Our ability to imagine, to discover, to be curious, to
experiment, innovate and invent, to create, and to fall and rise again has made
so many things possible which have transformed the world.
Just think about it, every technology that has taken the human
race to where it is now has been born out of ideas.
Ideas that changed nothing
into something.
For instance we take
airplanes and air travel, internet, cellphones, electricity, satellite
television for granted and as commonplace, but without the imagination and
pioneering work of trail blazers like the Newton, Nikola Tesla, Faraday, James
Clerk Maxwell, Wright brothers, Hertz, von
Neumann, Jack Kilby, Robert Noyce and many
more, we the human race would still be in the stone age.
So the point here being that the power which humans have is
to create something from nothing and in turn give birth to new concepts and
industries. So are we less than gods in any way!!!!
Or are we are own gods!!!!
Well...eastern mystic view of Tao or Zen explains this much better than the monotheistic ways. The supreme is the sum of all. The supreme is the infinite yet contained in the minutest dot on earth. You see...it sounds like a fallacy and hence appears illogical...right?
ReplyDeleteLet me put this mathematically because we believe more in mathematics than GOD! So, how many even numbers are there in number system?
2...4...6...8...and so on...is there an end of it? I am sure you will agree that there is no end...hence number of even numbers are infinite...correct?
Now, let's wonder how many integers exist in number system...
1...2...3...4...5...6...and so on. Is there a last integer? No. You will agree.
And hence, number of integers are infinite too.
Well...don't you think that the number of even numbers should be smaller than the number of integers??? Perhaps half..?
But...the irony is, both numbers are infinite...one infinite is contained inside the other!!
