Our life

This is a thought written by a frustrated sick child (15) away from his friends, born abnormal and the computer being his best friend near his bed. His little thoughts are really helpful to the normal born big men. He became the 'computer scientist junior 2005' selected by the Colombo campus.

He too was selected to participate at the Olympiad computer this year or next year. Due to financial difficulties of his parents, he could not participate this year. But, we are doing our best to send him next year. Winning a Gold Medal is nothing for him. He alone, has gone to the Gamut of the computer field. Which I feel that is law of compensation. He has written many articles. This is a blessing for your making him happy to see his article in the papers.

lifeSTYLE: Our life is funny. Every day we do things we need to such as going to the shop and going to a friend's house. But the funniest part is that why do we do it? We do these activities to fulfil are dreams or needs. At the bottom of this there is a creation.

Our planet holds millions of creations like plants, fruits, and animals. But the creation itself is useless to us if we didn't have a brain. It's this brain that let us think. This thinking leads to creations via existing forms or new forms. And some dreams do help to creations as well. But even dreams are made up in our brain.

After the so called humans we are created by atoms, bacteria and other molecules. There is no correct answer. We the humans have been making things to attend to our needs. However some creations are useful and at the same time dangerous and can lead to huge problems globally. Some of such creations are plastic and fuel powered vehicles. These creations now have become a part of day to day life. These creations have side effects to our environment.

However the improving technology creations have made solutions to this but the existing creations cannot be stopped. We have no control over them.

In other words we humans have created a monster that will eventually lead to the destruction of our planet and finally the destruction of us.

Every day we have 1000's of people dying. For each death our creations might be responsible. But most of the time it's money.

For example a housewife says that they can't afford to buy things, the father gets upset but also is late for work, he leaves in a hurry, he tries to cross the road and gets hit by a car and dies, mother sells the house to get money, they go to a small house, and the son goes to work at an early age.

The main problem here is money. if they had money they won't have to talk about it. Then the father won't get late. Then he wouldn't have been in a hurry.

Most of the things that happen in life are connected to a creation of humans. Tracing back in time is very hard but eventually will lead us to the cause. If there was no creation called the gun, people wouldn't have been shot. It's funny how everything is connected.

I always go back and see what happened and what caused it. For everything that happens, there is a reason. But mostly whatever affects us is caused by our own creations of death.
