The Urge

It is a very dominant, primitive and inherent impelling force, motive or pressure in all living beings, (including man), to remain alive. Perhaps this will to remain alive further triggers a will to conquer and triumph over the will to dominate and administer those powers which make life more difficult and sometimes impossible to live.

Though credit is given to some god, all the will and the will to govern those powers are essentially man made and very inconsistent and conflicting. The condition of human existence get adapted and modified to newer environments.

The human as a race keeps making efforts to master the environment. It is destined then that the gap which separates them from the lower race of animals will further expand.

Gods and religions have never been able provide a well being environment for the human race. Look at the time spent before some god and the time and effort spend in working in the office all because of trying to live a better and healthy life. Ideas of gods and religion are basic enemies of life and binds man. It is a primitive and archaic thought and instinct to cling on to gods and religions. Man is capable enough to differentiate between things which benefit him and things which are harmful.

Instead of concentrating in these areas man should with the help of science pay more attention to his immediate surroundings. Gods and religions have never been able to provide the basic needs and the dignity of existence to mankind. Tens and hundreds of years have passed us by but we still live in the same agonized environment, clinging to thoughts which may have been applicable thousands of years back.

If man needs a religion to cling on to, to survive, then lets frame and adopt a new religion which would eradicate poverty and hunger and concentrate more on providing housing, education, better health system, clean water, electricity, efficient public transport......
