We decide our future...

Lately, people everywhere are grumbling about the rise in petrol prices, as a result of rise in crude petroleum prices. If you read newspapers they tell why the crude oil prices are sky rocketing, in such a short time of period. Reasons given being higher demand and shortage of supply. Higher oil prices lead to inflationary pressures around the globe. There is also another major problem i.e food shortages. Reason being given climate changes, the increasing use of some food items such as corn and oil palm for fuel production and again higher demand for those items from China and India. Actually, I'm not going to discuss about the oil, food crises or inflationary pressures but more of how mankind can dealt with these crises.


Look back at history, man had come long way, facing through numberous crises and challenges most of which created by man himself and others are the product of mother nature. Each of these problems or challenges were overcomed or it just fade away after wiping out some human lives. There are also innovation and new creations by humans to deal with the challenges. Among which are the new discovery of cure or medicine for diseases and cutting-edge communications gadjets. Each new creation brings benefits and also adding new challenges for humans in wanting more and more. Humans are innovative creatures.
Having said that humans too are capable of destroying the entire universe. The greed of unlimited wants lead to destruction of mother nature. Rising pollution level and changing global climate are due to human actions.
In actual we decide our future. We shape our world. How long we want the world to last in the galaxy.
Note: Wants should be limited according to one's needs.
