its a sin to dream. because what you always dream of is something that you cannot have. by the very definition of it being impossible, it is a given fact that it wil shatter. its not so much as the shattering as it is the after effects. picking up the pieces . a feeling of hollowness. all this philosophy is also something which can be classified as a first world problem. but the law of the universe dictates that it not be considred such.to ancient cave men not having fire would have been a first world problem equivalent. but gradually it has become indespensible. any thing you want apart from basic survival does not qualify as a first world problem. we can always go back to forests, hunt and live. afterall what is the purpose to life. in the forest theres plenty to eat and oppurtunities to procreate. but we live in a world which is constantly evolving. this year we have something which we did not have last year. each generation is brought up with things that are indispensible to them. phones being a case in point now.we can always play around with the hunour quotient in first world problems. luxuries are as much a part of life, we believe it or not. the added effort we put in to analyse each situation is vexing. we seem to be on a plateau of sorts in technological growth. all tech has now evolved in terms of social interactions. social media being a big player here. every stream of study has been permeated with out social habits. long distance space missions are planned keeping in mind how the people on board will interact with each other. on a more personal note i am waiting for the first baby with an intergalactic citizenship. the point is we have theories for anything that happens.and most of these theories are assumptions. these theories are still ok when applied on large groups under controlled conditions. what is worse is how individual people have started applying it on their experiences. every tom dick harry is a agony aunt. and the worst justification to all this is that its my life and i am free to pass judgements with finality. what people dont realise is empathy is understanding the point of view. not analysing it. pointing out faults. criticism is something that comes easily. this criticism is on the false assumptions that every parameter has been considered. and any logic that follows this criticism obviously makes sense. but the whole theory is based on vague understanding. even thsi could be a first world problem. the scary part is when it stops being a first world problem. things are gonna go really crazy then. evolution calls for a change. but this change seems to be going on a tangentm woudnt it be better had we started developing wings to fly. or perhaps an in built particle accelerator allowing us to move around in time or maybe teleport. now that would be much more fun. partly because - obviously who wouldnt want that. partly because its very tangible. changes in the behavioural and social patterns on the other hand are very intangible.
