>>I have not said "technology is a bad thing". But I have questioned the >>current direction. I have also said we can't, in reality improve the >>"quality of life"... This is my most controversial statement because it >>questions the basis of current western "civilization"... >All you nead to be happy is warmth, food, water and enough sleep even in >western civerlisation it is possibal to understand that. modern technology >just makes it easer to obtain those things and gives us time to worry about >other things. personaly i regard the lack of small pox epedemics, cholora, >polio ect as a great boost to my quality of life. Yes. But we have AIDS, cancer, heart attacks and stress-related problems to make up for it... Still those of us who are destined to get sick because of our bad karma get sick... We also take birth in a certain society because of our karma. So you get born in America because you have qualified yourself for a better lifestyle... It's not that all places are the same. Some countries are very nice, some are very hellish... (BTW you are not guaranteed a birth in America next time around...) Thank you. Hare Krishna!
