Bound by money

About a year back I wrote about library.nu. A great repository of knowledge for those who seek it. It didn't ask for money but for more knowledge in return. In spite of all the obstacles that this commercial world might pose the library grew and helped millions of people across the world.

It has been shut down a few weeks ago. The publishers didn't like losing money and of-course the businessmen around the business of knowledge. So, now we know that knowledge is bound by money. So are many other things. In fact the whole world is bound by money. Even the great people (???) of this era are bound by money. It's money that we seek. It's money that we worship. It's money that we die for.

Where is true love? Where is true patriotism? Where is true wisdom? Where is true art?

It's so rare to find thee in this troubled times.The world will not end in 2012, but money will win over humanity. And another great civilization will fall. The so feared age of machines is not so far now. Since it's only the feeling that kept man apart from the animated for all these years. Every civilization saw her end just at the pinnacle of her advancement. Look at the wondrous architecture of the past. The mighty pyramids, the great walls, the magnificent castles, the powerful forts -  All fading away in time, and only the mortal man stands and sings the glory of immortal humanity to start a new world.

  1. I don't know how to congratulate you to write such an apt post at the need of the hour.We are all driven by money and it act as an instrument to fulfill our material necessities and wishes. But the problem starts when this instrument takes over the prime position ahead of our goals , ahead of our conscience and ahead of everything else . the goals fade into the dark and vision gets blurry.It is only efforts like this could bring us into the right track and reset our goals and vision. We should share this with as many people as we can using our social connections.
