HUMANS: Are you getting more with less effort?

Human has done something that beyond what their capacity can handle. While they think computers can help them to process beyond their normal brains can do per second, a break down of a large scale enterprise business application software can cause hundreds and even thousands of users to work more than what they needed while they were in the manual system. This is because since they started their computerized systems, they began to promise and commit to more customers, close more sales, and process more business transactions per day, of which those volume of transactions has became far beyond what they previously capable of processing. Once the system breaks down, that will not only causing those end users to work like hell (trying to deliver as much as the computers can do with their human capacity), the software provider (programmers etc) will also need to do fire fighting days and nights, rushing themselves in bringing the system up.

When humans think that they only need an hour to reach a destination of 100 kilometers in distance, when accident occurs, the consequences and severity of damage are far beyond what they can imagine, e.g. a driver never thought that he can lose his both legs, which also makes him loses his job and freedom of mobility, followed by family financial status is in crisis; they no longer can afford to support their kids for education and so on. In addition, petrol fuel consumption, gas, tyres etc, have polluted and destroy the Earth to the state that it no longer suitable for humans to live in a healthy way. Another great joke is that, they can stuck in the jam for two hours when they can reach the destination in an hour by walking. And the cost? They work for years, save enough money to buy the car, pump the petrol every three days, periodically send the car for service, maintenance, and repair, AND THEY TELL YOU WALKING IS TOO SLOW, TOO COSTLY BECAUSE WASTING TOO MUCH TIME, AND TOO TIRING! And when they reached home, they tell their kids: “Sweet heart….I stucked in the jam for 2 hours…so tired…please get yourself a quick dinner from the fridge first…let me have a rest…”

While human thinks that they can do less with greater returns, they are actually trying to against the Law of Nature, of which the “returns” will eventually bound back to them in order to achieve a balancing state. While they are also part of the nature, they have forgotten this is how the nature works and this is how the universe behaves. They keep separating themselves from the mother nature and deny its truth due to their ego, greed, and so on. However, their pain still unable to make them realize such a reality of truth…until today…
