INTRODUCTION
Let
us first examine the second part of the title - 'The Debacles of
Humans'. First comes first, of course, is the traditional principle
followed in everything - either to granting or withholding favors
and rewards, or even reprimands and punishments etc. But a
digression is made deliberately guided by the expediency of the
situation. Don't we use the reverse gear, when the four-wheeler is
taken out from the garage? Full connotation of this part can be
grasped, if this is adapted, which necessarily affords an easy lead
to the former part. Here again of the two words - 'Debacles and
Humans' the second word merits first consideration.
Preference
to the singular number seems a better choice, and substitution of
MAN for HUMAN severs our purpose better, for, MAN is a common place
word used to represent mankind and app equally well to woman too,
according to legal usage. Man is found to be the real cause of the
entire problem facing the world, the Marker, besides himself first
and foremost. Mark it! he is tile principal source of woe, but not
of weal even by mistake.
More
so in the modern times, exerting their impact on the world every
second of the wheel of TIME in motion ending in his annihilation,
although he is boasting of taking his fellowmen to planets, millions
of miles far off the earth habitation,
in addition to instant transportation of the wealth to the car for
eternal happiness of all. He proclaims thus loudly, but the truth is
quite
contrary. For, he seldom acts as he says, nor says what he thinks.
Always, I think is the right word to be used.
