Evolution of Societies Towards Perfection

         The Authority of Natural Law

“Each work has to pass through these stages—ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood”

        -Swami Vivekananda     

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  We have created a society that honors  the  servant and has forgotten the gift”

                                                            -- Albert Einstein       

“Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies  indifference  to  the unique values which created it”

                                                            -- Nicolas Gomez                   

The attempt and struggle to establish a better ordering of human society than the destructive and cruel chaos in which mankind have hitherto existed is by no means modern. The origin of attempt executed to conceive an Ideal Society has been emerged even before the dawn of history. So many leaders, the so called men of reincarnations, great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and political and revolutionary leaders have tried but in vain. For this noble cause of attainment of an Ideal Society, Lord Buddha (The Holy Dhammapada), Sri Krishna (The Holy Bhagavat Gita), Jesus Christ (The Holy Bible), Prophet Mohammed (The Holy Koran) and so many men of reincarnations tried on the religious pedestal. Men of wisdom like Socrates (Socrates dialogues), Plato (Republic), Rousseau (Social Contract), Karl Marx (Das Capital), John Maynard Keynes (General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money), and Thiruvalluvar (The Holy Thirukual) attempted on intellectual arena.

And the revolutionary leaders like Mira beau (Leader, French Revolution), Lenin (Leader, Russian Revolution, 1905-1917), Abraham Lincoln (American Civil War- 12th April 1861 to 13th May,1865), Mao Tze Tung (Long March of Red Army from 16th October,1934 to 19th October,1935), Mahatma Gandhi (The bloodless War of Independence (1920-1947), struggled on the battle fields. Igniting their hearts with a spirit of undaunted courage, tireless perseverance, restless struggle and utter sacrifice with pristine purity,  men constituting all sectors of wisdom such as politics, religion, economics, social philosophies, ethics, and science and technology tried to establish an Ideal Society by changing one formation of society into another during the long process of time. What are they we are still lacking for? 

The treasures of wisdom originated even before the dawn of history have been accumulated in our book shelves. No one restricts us to turn the pages of Holy Bhagavat Gita, Holy Bible, Holy Koran, Holy Dharmapata, Holy Guru Grantham Sahib, Holy Vedas, Social Contract, Das Capital etc., to find a solution for socio-economic miseries of mankind. No one is twisting our hands   for not exploiting and extracting the boundless natural resources to put into use for eradication of poverty. No one prevents our economists to circulate requisite volume of money the economy needs for smooth operation of economic machinery as the economists opt for. No one is going to agitate against us to codify any appropriate law for the establishment of better Order of Society. Everything in the world is under our own control and direction. Neither supernatural power nor any external force exerts any mysterious control on our intellectual strength to restraining us from creating an ideal society that we want to establish from time immemorial. Still we are not a success!

Evolution of Human Societies:

 From the genesis of civilization so many men of wisdom preached and codified uncountable rules and regulations in religious, political, and social domains suitable to the then prevailing conditions Evolution to create an ideal society. But the people did not satisfy on the creation of such societies as their views and visions were high and justifiable. As per Natural Law, for example Darwin Theory, every system should undergo continuous and perpetual change until it reaches its perfection and eternality. The indisputable example is the Evolution of Man from the period of Paleolithic age. According to Interpretation of History explicated by Karl Marx every society should have been changed consistently and continuously by the struggle of radical revolutionists still it would reach its perfection.

But Karl Marx disastrously arrived into a conclusion that the ownership of capital should be entrusted in the hands of ‘State’ under the guise of ‘proletariat dictatorship’ that would be managed by one party system. Since the economic thought was at its infantry stage during the period of Karl Marx he might have been come to the conclusion that proletariat dictatorship would prevent the economically powerful capitalists and it would lead the working class to create an egalitarian society. On the other hand when the ‘State’ captured the national capital, it crushed the working class and blocked them behind an ‘iron curtain’ and locked them in a ‘prison economy’.

Marxian Socialistic Mode of Production pathetically failed to lead the mankind towards its perfect evolution as the socialists preached. People now are realizing that they have yet to discover a new system that will lead them towards an ideal society. What is that system?
