2017 - Good Bad or Ugly?

For most, saying goodbye to 2016 was easy. It wasn't a great year for almost anyone living on Earth. Too many deaths - natural and unnatural, took away a whole lot of famous personalities. A lot of economic disruption too, the largest being the demonetization of large currency notes in India. Most important though, the rise of right-wing ideology trumped liberalism virtually everywhere, and spiritual tolerance pounded by hard core intolerant religious zealots. Intolerance, is slowly but surely becoming fashionable, as is violent behavior, to the point of making even  peaceful protests passe.

In many ways, 2016 could qualify as the mother of all years when Earth is turned into hell. Welcome then, to the Devil's own world in 2017. Have we had so much of bad news in 2016 that we have reached a point where we really don't care?  In many ways Mankind has become the "Devil's" product than "God's", and is hell bent  in turning God into a Devil with his actions. The daily news is a testament of it. There are arguments which support that Man's progress is a direct result of indulging in the 7 cardinal sins. On the other hand going by theory of evolution, I wonder if our pea-brained ancestors were any more intelligent  than animals to have understood the concept of Din.  What we as modern society call sins were just basic instincts doing what they do best - help a species survive. Which gives rise to the question - why was mankind the chosen one to think? Obviously, nature must have recognized our species as the most capable or most devious. But then, was it nature that selected us or some alien race? (The real ones - not the ones in the US of A). The increasing number of credible UFO citing as well as data from Mars suggests that there is a good chance that we may meet our real creator soon. If that were true, what would it do to all the practiced religions on earth? I really hope that it does happen cause we have had enough destruction in the name of God by his devil worshippers and the concept of both God and Devil needs to be put to rest for the survival of Mankind.

Okay, my first resolution for the year is that I will not blog as much. My second; I will not indulge in predicting world events, which I can with great accuracy. Third; I haven't had time to think of a third.

My best wishes to all for a Good if not Great 2017  in a world that is increasingly appears to be headed from bad to Ugly.
