Science
has made traveling easy and efficient. The world has become smaller for us.
But those exciting adventures and romances which traveling gave in the past
have all disappeared. Modern traveling is a dull business.
The men who live in big cities are benefited in some respects
while harmed in many other ways. The city people do not have any leisure. Their
life is so busy and mechanical that they do not have any time to share with others.
Their lives have become artificial, devoid of charm and delight.
As modern age is an age of science, so men have become scientific
minded. But as science is advancing, it is thwarting out civilization. In the
kingdom of science, the words like love, affection and sentiments are quite
foreign. So, what is the use of science to man if he gains the whole world but
loses his soul? Spiritualism is on the wane while materialism is on the
increase. Philosophy, culture and poetry are fading from the earthly life
because of the rapid advancement of science.
Again, on the destructive side, science had invented weapons
which are most dreadful and disastrous. The inventions laser beams, cobalt bomb
and megaton bomb have increased chances of human destruction. Thus, if these
weapons are used, they would spell disaster for the entire mankind.
Thus, the opinion remains divided on
the subject. No one claims that science is complete happiness or a complete
curse. While a scientist makes inventions, a politician misuses them. Mainly,
it is the wrong application of scientific invention by the politician that
sounds the alarm. In this respect science has de-humanized us. Now- a-days, we
have better drugs and surgical instruments, but men are becoming weak
constitutionally. What an irony of fate it is! Today, we have a sensitive heart,
a sensitive lung and a sensitive liver
due to fast speed, smoky atmosphere and dusty roads. Thus, science, while it
makes mankind happy by its latest achievements, also makes it unhappy when it
shows its destructive power. But, broadly speaking science can be used for
getting happiness but the mind of the man and particularly of the politician
misuses the discoveries of science.
