From M N Venkatachalaiah’s mouth

Yesterday, former chief justice of India M N Venkatachalaiah spoke about National Values and it’s preservation in an even organized at Bangalore. This is what he has to say about humans of 2050 and beyond,

“If you live till 2050, you’d probably live forever. I almost think it’s feasible like writer Raymond Kuber says. I believe we will enter a time that would leave no mark of resemblance with the present era. It will happen soon.”

“25 years from now, we would not know what the present was like. We are probably entering the most confusing time of our life. Change as we can see in technology is tumultuous. How do we protect our value of kindness, honesty and patriotism in these time of rapid change?”

Does this mean future is coming with ruthlessness, dishonesty and flexible morality? I think it coming if we don’t change our approach. What he had to say at the first quotation is that science will enable us to do many things as it has done in future. But if rich people become greedy and just keep consuming the resources, we will soon be trapped into the world with less resource for common man.
