Are you working sitting in front of a computer with 24 hours internet access, or at least email access? How long have you been doing it? Let me ask you something. How many times have you got the same forwarded email, perhaps a slightly modified one, or how many times have you got the same forwarded sms message from different contacts? I am sure you have got many, in fact countless. If you have been watching how people behave to internet access, you may notice that, when ever a new one gets the net access, he forms a different friends circle which exists only in the web, and the guy will start getting some forwards which he/she will eventually forwards to his/her own friendship circle. The more experienced the guy with the internet, the more possibility of getting the same forwards again.
If you start a discussion with all the new internet joiners about the impact of sending forward mails, you are going to fail. Still you know that it is absolute waste to send forwards. The forum will come up with a hundred different points about the use of forwarded emails and forwarded sms. You may watch later that the same set of people getting retired from these kinds of habits after a year or two, and speaking about the bad effects of the same.
This is not just the case of sending emails forwards or sms. When experienced people say something others always resist to understand those facts even if they know the fact that their personal life proved many thousand times that experience makes a lot of difference. The younger generation believes about the veterans that they are old and thinks in the old fashioned way, but at the same time they are not able to refine what they did and when they grow older they also pursue the same paths followed by their parents and grand parents.
When the young generation use the common insults to the older like “Why can’t you sit and read the Ramayana instead of making nuisance to us?” they never thinks of their older ages yet to come, and they also receive the same insults. Regardless of culture, nationalities and religions, people when they grow old, tend to spend more of their time in religious activities. Most of the younger generation will have a time in their life when they think that what done by old people is utter useless, and they believe that what they do is more refined, abstract and meaningful. Throughout the entire human history humans are never able to change or create a new culture or refine the way of living and thinking. Those who think that they are correct are never able to bring up their next generation better; the same life cycle will be followed by the next generation also.
Here I am not saying that humans have not developed in technology and way of living in the entire history. What I am saying is that regardless of the experience of others, we won’t be ready to accept some facts until unless we go through the same experience that make us think or behave differently. The saying “Experience makes’ the man” is absolutely true in all respects. Here what I write may be written by many others during their life, and this is not a discovery. Out of all these, should I believe that the entire planet or the world is having a cycle which everybody will go through and must go through, which cannot be changed even we know the truth? No, not at all.
