1 The changing world
The world into which we all come have been left to us by our father and their father before them. It is composed more of the past than present. The cities and villages in which we all live were built by hands of their lives and the railway they carry us from place to place were planned and constructed by man that probably dead. Everything around us is due in whole or in part to the skill labor and energy of those who went before us along the road of life. As each of us grows up and becomes acquainted to the world that other man had built, he explored with interest and sometime with anxiety and even fear. Our surroundings are complicated and astonishing ,kind and cruel ,varied and vast, they also constantly changing. No generation leaves the world as they found. They shall change our cities and villages just as men have done before. Cities like people grow and die. They increase or decrease in importance. All such changes are the results of restless energies of man. The generation now grown up will has the same energy and will not be satisfied with what he has found in the world. Some of us will invent new machines or instruments. Some of us will suggest new scientific theories. Some will explore new places or new regions of thoughts. Every fresh mind may have contribution to make to the new progress of mankind and so the changes continue for better or for the worse. The increase rate of advancement of science is in some way more than surprising, it is alarming.
In the next century we maybe sure that the speed of discovery and invention will increase further and indeed it is difficult to picture of the world as it will be in the year of 2050. the change of the scientific world are mostly in the direction of progress. In medicine for example operations are performed in human brains and hearts and we accept such wonders as normal events. Yet even in modern viewer maybe rather astonished when he watches on the TV screen the heart of fish still beating and alive in the liquid contained in the glass vessel. The structure of society is changing too. But all changes are not necessarily for the better. Where in our modern world is Beethoven Bark or Browns. Modern music is vary but none of it reaches the stands said by those great composers of the past. Is a play of today a great advance on Shakespeare’s place. Are the film we see at the cinema always of great artistic merits. Has a sculpture of ancient Greece ever been surpassed. Such thoughts lead not to depress us. We have much of the past with us and no one can expect completely progress in every field of mans activity. Mistakes will always be made for the only man who never made mistake is the man who never does anything and we can learn from our mistakes.
