My thoughts after watching "Don't Look Up" movie

 The latest movie of Leonardo DiCaprio is a very nice satire on what can happen to the world if a selfish leader combines with a selfish businesses person. While I don't find a strong relation with anyone in real life, I like the way some points are raised in the movie. The correlation between the on going issue "Global Warming" with the Comet is uncanny.  Its a known fact that many leaders across the world are neglecting basic issues like "Global Warming", "Deforestation" and "Preserving Environment". While the recent agreements have raised some hope, many people say this is too late. Everyone has a genuine argument-  Developing countries argue that, first world countries progressed for 200 years by burning fossil fuels. Why shouldn't developing countries take their citizens to prosperity by doing the same? Developed countries argue that, why should we pay what happened in the past. Every country should cap their emissions on their own. ...

Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 10

Either mobile or immobile, there is nothing that is not me. In simple words, the whole universe gently exists within me.

Is the world living in the past?

 Lately, I see that many people in social media use past as a way to be angry instead of using it as experience for better today. This is not unique for a single place or single society. This has become an universal problem. In my opinion, the major reasons for this is "Victim Mentality". Simply put, for some people blaming someone else for their failure has become the easiest way to justify their failure. The unfortunate thing is, they use this tactic to even comfort themselves. In some cases, some people striving to become leaders use full or partial truths from past to ignite hatred between people and communities. Apart from this "Victim Mentality", there is yet another way past is being used by some people to self boost themselves. I call this "Those Glory Days Mentality". These people will only want to remember past selectively and go nostalgic about them. Most probably, these people as individual or community have some how not doing well compared to ...
