Today we are
entering into a global age and the barriers which have traditionally existed between
people are gradually coming down all over the world. This we can observe as Western
materialistic culture is moving to the East, and while Eastern spiritual culture is
moving, at least to some degree, to the West. Even on a purely physical level we note that
Asians are relocating to the West and constitute how a significant minority in Europe and
America. Similarly a number of Europeans live
or travel in Asia, and this trend is likely to grow in the future. The division of East
and West to the extent that it has been real, is disappearing and many eventually become a
thing of the past.
We can observe that all the things Westerners have done, Easterners can do and, at least
in individual cases, have done. Similarly all that Easterners have done, Westerners can do
and, at least in individual cases, have also done. Easterners can be great scientists or
technocrats. |
