There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!

Do You Know That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!
For example:
* Every philosophy was interpreted according to the writer's view of the world.
*And when re-written, was embellished to make it more readable, believable, acceptable, and appealing to the viewer.
* Every religion known to humankind was practiced eons ago, but because writing only came into print in the middle ages, people had to follow what was told verbally to them.
* Whether they believed what was verbally told to them is another matter. Whether what was written was truth, is still debated even today!
* And yet, people still postulate that the scriptures are the TRUTH, given by some God, to his chosen followers, for all mankind to accept and follow.
* And do you know that after millions of years have elapsed, Jesus's (supposed teachings) are still debated, still un-clear, still causes division even among the followers/believers of this so-called doctrine, (known as Christianity), or believers in Christ.
* Human history shows clearly how for centuries humans looked to the skies for some revelation or answer to their enquiries about purpose, famine, death, life, after-life, good, and evil.
* Modern science and technology today, has helped greatly explain certain natural phenomena, eg, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornados, floods, hurricanes, and hale storms, that hitherto was perceived as works of the Devil in anger, or of some God as punishment.
* Today humans still ascribe those phenomena as punishment, or the wrath of some God or Allah.
* Re-incarnation was believed possible in the flesh by Egyptians, centuries ago. The mummies of the Pharaohs or royalty, validates that belief today.
* Cryonics (or the freezing of the dead), is practiced today for those who still feel that they will resurrect some time in the future. So the rich believers, (or those who can afford to do so), preserve a part of, or their entire carcass, for that future resurrection.
So history is still repeating itself today, even though humanity has made remarkable strides in technology and science. We are generally still victims of primitive beliefs, superstitious methods, practices, and fatalists!
Om Shanti.
