What we call progress is largely delusory


The progress means to move forward toward a better state. In this perspective it is said that the man has made remarkable progress in different sphere of life particularly after the industrial revolution.
In a field of science and technology, the man has made tremendous progress. The invention of modern electronic and communication technology has reduced the distances and the world has become a global village. The sea routes have been discovered to facilitate the transportation of goods among the countries. Man has landed on other planets to explore the means of living on these planets. Sky has been made traffic route for Air planes carrying passenger from one country to another country. The natural resources are being explored and utilized for the development of counties.
In the sphere of politics, the man has also made an extensive progress. The international organizations have been established to regulate the affairs of the world and to promote the peace in the world, because the invention of sophisticated weapons has brought the world at the brink of destruction. The twentieth century witnessed the change in the living standards of the most of the world due to the economic success of the countries. The world has become now interconnected and interdependent.
However, the progress made by the man seems one sided. There is no denying fact that man has made the significant progress in the fields of science and technology, economics, however, the progress has widened the gap among the people and the countries. On the basis of the above mentioned progress, the world is divided into two categories i.e. developed countries and underdeveloped countries. The people live in these have further been divided as rich and poor in general and in underdeveloped countries in particular. The poor people spend their whole life to earn the livelihood in order to survive. They engage in materialism so much that they neglect the voice of inner self. Therefore, they always remain devoid of mental peace and harmony. Whereas, the rich people live a life replete with luxuries and comfort often prone to vices prevalent in the society, which not only affect the worldly life but also create a disturbance in the mind which lead to mental disorder.
Therefore, it seems that the progress made by man is delusory. The advancement of science and technology has not only involved the human beings into materialism to large extent but also brought the world at brink of destruction due to the invention of sophisticated weapons.
