Are regularity, reliability, seriousness, punctuality and certainty human nature? Any human possessing these qualities is thought to be the best among his race. Are we changing the definition of human? Are we forgetting the anarchic and spontaneous side of human beings? Are human qualities becoming extinct? Will the human race survive the most dangerous threat it has ever come across in its long and happening history that threatens to destroy its anarchic and spontaneous side?
Dr. Walter F. Stromer has suggested a century ago that machines will increase the ferocity of wars, destroy the anarchic and spontaneous side of human nature and hence will deprive humans of happiness, the quality for which they were developed. How right was he in this context! People are doing from anything to everything to curb their natural instinct.
The result of people’s willingness to curb their natural instinct will be too dangerous to predict. It might destroy the whole human race. People today have forgotten how to smile. People today wear different faces for different occasions. It has increased to such an extent that people have forgotten what they really are like. Every star is today asked the question what they are like in their real life! This has made the ever-haunting task of differentiating between good and bad even more daunting. More and more people are cheating others and are getting cheated.
