Miracles of natural world.
Miracles do happen in different forms in different speeds.
A seed of a chestnut 🌰 tree is a miracle of its own. To create a giant tree with proper nutrients water and sunlight. To combine earth material to form this tree which is totally different from the seed itself. But is capable of creating same type of seeds, even with better ability to withstand the challenges of changing environment. Isn't any seed for that matter a miracle of nature? I am sure every tiny cell on this earth is a miracle of nature. Although there is possibility that the creator himself created such miracles, it seems sustained without his involvement.
Human consciousness is a miracle which happened in the universe. An impossible probability of the atoms being able to recognize and form abstractions of atoms themselves.
Miracle of metals
And this consciousness which developed over thousands of years, have now accumulated knowledge about things of nature over generations. Humans have cracked the code for manually overriding the process of passing down the knowledge to the next generation. With this ability they have become their own creators. When I look at the sky, I see a tiny aero plane travelling at speed of sound above the clouds. Humans have created these flying machines, from metal which does not even float on water! They have figured out how to use such metal to build gigantic ships which can carry thousands of tons of cargo. We have harvested powers of birds to fly in the sky, we have overcome the speed of a cheetah decades ago. We have dived the depths of deepest parts of the ocean and claimed tallest mountains in the world. With equipment we built, from a tiny nail to a piece of rope, from a tank of oxygen to GPS, has helped us to do so. Isn't it another miracle? I think that is the greatest one so far since the garden of Eden.
Miracles of Silicon Valley
I am going to take you on a tour in Silicon Valley now. From small transistors to IC chips, to Internet, Silicon Valley holds a record for high tech development than any other part of the world. It drains the brains, the money and little bit of silicon for each new development of technology. And I am sure the device you carry in your hands now has material developed from there. And things have complicated so much from a simple transistor that no individual has the capability of figuring out everything.
Doom of Silicon Valley
Although we are lucky to live in an era of miracles, are we using them correctly is a question we should ask more often? As I see a future as an equally unpredictable. Imagine every miracle I see daily, from my automobile to the computer, depends on machines which we built, which are so complicated and complex, In these long assembly lines. We were almost at doom when production lines halted in times of covid. We could not wait until we are clear from every risk because as a human race now, we are dependent on our miracle production lines. I wonder what would become to our lives if the Silicon Valley stopped producing IC circuits for a decade? I am sure it won't happen in my lifetime, then again, I cannot be so sure when I saw that palisade California wildfire. Nature has a way of teaching us lessons a hard way. Like we are stubborn kids.
I'm not sure about you but I know there will be a dooms day to our common dream of Silicon Valley Miracles. It can be anything from a financial crisis to a warfare. Anything from global warming to a mega volcanic eruption. But I am not worried about it today. As long as it is not me who cares right?
A rational solution?
I take the rational approach to life. I use my device to spread the message of mindfulness as l can see the search for a happiness which has origins from Silicon Valley is never going to end. As there is end to life there will be end to every miracle which comes out from Intel google and apple Inc. I am not eager to see the next miracle of virtual reality. But I am eager to travel back to the place and understand how everything originated to create a miracle In the kindergarten of my class. Let's focus on humanity, peace and happiness instead, the things which we take for granted. Maybe those are the main reasons that the miracle prevails. Wouldn't you agree? How about a poem?
At the end of dry season.
Before the monsoon rains.
I see thousands of ants, develop wings.
They start to fly
Hovering over every streetlight
All night long.
In the morning, when I wake up
I see only their broken wings and
Shattered Silicon Valley dreams
