Book excerpt: Have you at some time or the other, wondered whether it is ever possible for human civilization to move away from its present inconsistent and jarring ways? Whether the deep-down-desires of human beings will ever get met in a widespread way? If the anxiety, uncertainty and confusion that seem to be the norm of these times, get replaced with rampant and pervasive peace, happiness and joy? Many feel that the world is progressing, especially with the advancement in technology and communication. But in reality, if one looks closely, it is debatable whether humanity is moving up or sliding down. The global pandemic, violent territorial disputes between nations, religious chauvinism, intolerance, extreme poverty, violence against women and children, trafficking, discrimination and so on are certainly not manifestations of human civilization progressing, it’s more like degeneration. The Climate Emergency we are living in is pushing the planet towards extinction. The unscrupulous pharmaceutical industry is exploiting the health system for financial gains. The humongous war and armament industry drives the economy of developed nations and subversively fuels conflicts and jingoism among neighboring nations to keep their market flourishing. The insatiable greed of corporate tycoons for endless growth and wealth-garnering has no consideration for the livelihood of the vulnerable, causing chronic inequity. The mindless destruction and pollution of the planet’s primary resources, namely air, water and earth, to boost GDP, carries on merrily. All these are categorized as aspects of ‘un-workability’ and left to persist as situations that we are expected to live with. Pursuit of Joy is the panacea for all social anomalies and will usher human civilization into the Age of Joy.
