MarTheFrenzy for and of Technology
Thanksto science and the scientific temperament, we no longer care to note
andregister the fact that we are all part of the planet earth or of the
emotional Gaia.We adopt the attitude of the outsider who is observing and
living in the make believethat we are simply not touched by the continuous
changes happening in nature.The basic emotional bond, based on breathing, that
makes you part, participant,limb, sprout and ingredient of the planet earth,
must be ignored for thespectator or scientific attitude, the attitude of
emotional indifference. Youhave to ignore the fact that living is living in
symbiotic emotions.
Now,the war between Russia and the Ukraine has already resulted in the death
ofmore than five lakh soldiers. The war in the Middle East, with the
nucleararmed American aircraft carriers, ready to join the war, is taking us to
theultimate nuclear holocaust. In Sudan now genocide is happening but
thatgenocide is not worth noting, it has no news value, as it is happening to
theAfrican blacks. The bomb in Hiroshima that roasted alive immediately more
thana lakh people was just 13 kilo tons TNT.Now the normal small nuclear bomb
is inmega tons or in millions of TNT and their total number is in thousands.
Thereare also the tactical nuclear weapons. We just do not know the total
number oflife forms that get killed, even in the explosion of a small bomb. For
all of us,war as long as it does not affect us is actually exciting and
entertaining news,and cine writers are busy fantasizing and adding to the
tragedy to createsuccess in the box office. Emotion must be only for
excitement, not ascommunication and certainly not to create empathy as it robs
us of sleep.
Butwe have to start the education of the tiny tot, with the first
paradigmaticlesson that it is part of nature, of the planet earth. We have to
make itpractice breathe, smell, identify and gradually perceive, perceive
emotionally,not mechanically with cultivated indifference to emotions. The
child must betrained to feel nature, in nature and not lectured at in AC
classroom, in theartificial air.
Letus just contemplate what will happen when we adopt the paradigm of
emotions.Let us now just concentrate say on the equatorial evergreen forests.
In thosethick and lush forests, there is a wide variety of flora and fauna. All
thoselife forms inhale the smell messages of the other organisms and exhale
responses,creating rivers and oceans of emotions in the troposphere. Those
rivers flowinto every organism and they collect emotion feeds from them. That
activityimpacts and molds every minute of our emotional life. Then the
destruction anddevastation of nature, the death, devastation and deprivation of
many life forms,cannot continue as mere academic news where one can be
indifferent. When onegets accustomed to feeling self as a macro body and macro
being, the woundsinflicted on nature now will touch us.
Wheneducation takes to the paradigm of emotional interactions in and with
nature,nature automatically becomes the partner in the great college of nature.
Wemust be aware, that we simply cannot live naturally anywhere else outside our
earth.We cannot live on the Moon, or in any of the planets of our solar system
or inany of the moons of those planets. We can live only on earth and that too
as apart, component, limb, sprout and ingredient of earth. Then can we
beindifferent to the hovering nuclear disaster, which burns red every life
form,a prospect now staring at us? The frenzy for technology is changing into
frenzyof destruction and the takeover of terror in the air we breathe. Take the
kidsto nature and make them practice smell and identify.
