Important and Unimportant

The most important invention in your lifetime is…


Aren’t all the important inventions just the unimportant ones in the past – the laughable stock,  trivilaties, and extravagance.

Haven’t you ever felt like shouting; ” Enough inventions, please! Let the world follow its natural rhythm, don’t challenge it, don’t destroy it.”

It seems like there has alawys been the spoiled child that once upon a time decided to make the world and its inhabitants his playground. And he did, and still is.  Unfortunately, his madness was contagious, and instead of having one spoiled child, the world tries to survive with a gang of spoiled ones that have been growing like weeds all over it.

All inventions become important, desirable, and unbelievable. If they are not, then they are not worth mentioning, and sadly no nominations. But people in the past and the underperiviliged ones used to live or are living without them. That’s simply because they are not essential, not as important as they seem to be. In other words, they are not the air and water in our life.

Isn’t it funny that the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built mainly to be the tomb for His Highness, the great king? That is one of the greatest inventions in the history of civilization – one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It seemed important to His Highness to make all the sacrifices and use all the super brains to create such a remarkable invention as his last ultimate resting place. But, the important invention, wasn’t essential to give him another life- didn’t change his destiny.


Similar, funny things happen nowadays that are called important inventions. We believe they are, or will be in the near future, as if the world doesn’t have enough, as if a simple grave wasn’t enough for the burial of the great Pharoah.

With all the best wishes,

Nahla
