The downfall of man

Is being caused by ourselves. We pollute our bodies with drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We don't exercise as much as we're supposed to. We don't watch our diets. We don't sleep enough. The air we breathe is full of disease. Those are just the physical aspects that are ruining us. What's even worse is what's happening to us psychologically. We don't laugh enough. We don't read. We don't engage in critical thinking. We are not compassionate to fellow human beings. We don't take the time to lend an ear to a friend. We don't appreciate beauty in nature. We judge quickly. We don't take the time to listen to the other side of the story. We lie. We cheat. We deceive openly. Our vocabulary is being reduced by the second. I am Baliwala. Take my hand and together we can rise from obscurity. That is all.
