Curiosity killed the cat... Is man next??

During the entire lifetime of mankind, man has always had great curiosity regarding the world around him. This very curiosity has driven us to find new lands and settle in them, to find out why waterfalls go downward and birds fly.
Not content with only the outer world, we have delved into the inner realm of ourselves. Inside the human body we encountered our brain, that veritable minefield of potential, of Nobel Prizes and atomic bombs, of beautiful music and brutal slaughter. Our entry to the human mind has paralleled our foray into the destruction of mankind.
While one group of scientists have been trying to delve into the human brain, another group of minds were joined together to find the secrets of nuclear fission and fusion. Alas, the very thing that could turn Our World into a happier and more content place as ripped it apart.
We are standing on the brink of destruction. The very things that were heralded as earth-shattering in their influence can now literally shatter the earth. The simple art of blacksmiths has evolved into Titanium- Steel alloy. The brilliant fireworks for the Emperor of China have evolved into Inter- Continental Ballistic Missiles. Any and everything twisted by a few waylaid minds "For the greater good of Mankind".
Countries and men choosing the right to govern others! This works out fine but unfortunately our ethical advancement also gets twisted like our technological advancement. The need to govern turns into the license to kill and behold, we have the world as we know it. Running on the whims of a chosen few, who's to know that our elected messiahs have not gone mad with power themselves. God himself would have trouble living in our world. Note that Krishna or Jesus have not appeared among us for quite some time. Or perhaps even if They have, They have gone by us unnoticed, no different from the rest of us, struggling to find our voices and purpose, drowning in the sea of humanity.
