The Lesser Man And A Slave New World
The Business Guardian
|April 19, 2025
Let us remain human, error prone; we do not need perfection.
So long as we keep on making mistakes, we shall remain human. Let us love our mistakes.
- Anand
The 20th-century author Aldous Huxley writes a dystopian novel, Brave New World, based on the promises of science and technology. The world that has come up now may be new, but hardly 'brave'. We are undergoing a resistless change, rather a transformation, leaving the past behind and embracing the future at a breakneck speed, so that nothing is completely visible, and we are having only hazy images of reality. When we stop somewhere, earth below our feet starts running, and the sky comes into motion. Where are we headed for? If the march is only up to the grave, why are we dreaming of things which will make us slaves, or create slaves for us?
CREATOR VERSUS CREATOR
I do not contend man's wish to be a creator. But the first world that God created is so beautiful, so satisfying. He has not created slaves. He has given brain and a little free will to every object. Yet He wields great power over His creation. But does He interfere? He intervenes rarely, but sometimes violently too, when we do not listen to His voiceless commands.
