DEVELOPMENT IS ENDLESS
Development is defined as the
gradual growth of something so that it becomes more advanced, stronger, etc.
It is also defined as the process of
growth, advancement, or creating something new.
In a way development is also the
synonym of evolution which is defined as the gradual development of plants,
animal, etc. over many years as they adapt to changes in their environment .For
more facts on this topic, read Darwin’s
theory of the evolution of the human species.
In politics, one can see sudden
violent change instead of gradual development. From democracy to dictatorship,
from the policy of peace to that of war, from contentment to dissatisfaction
and yearning for more, are a few examples.
National development means
improvement of a country in all areas. The American poet and essayist Ralph
Waldo Emerson(1803-1882) said:
Not gold, but only men,
can make
A people great and
strong;
Men who for truth and
honor’s sake
Stand fast and suffer
long.
Specific
male figures who contribute profoundly to
the overall development of the world are: thinkers, discoverers, inventors,
scientists, industrialists, psychologists, ideologists, educationists, medicos,
economists, statesmen, spiritualists, philosophers, people at the helm of
affairs, etc.
It
will also be correct to say that men and women of all ranks contribute to the
development of a nation.
However,
the greatest role belongs to God’s theory
of evolution.
Development
started the day the world was created and will continue till its end. However, development
also has its rise and fall. There are
periods of decline, regression, destruction, retrogression, stagnation, etc.
Here
is a relevant quote:
“The
Roman Empire transformed from a modest Republic into a Mediterranean superpower
over centuries, dominating Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It
eventually collapsed due to economic crises, political instability, and unrelenting
barbarian invasions, culminating in the West’s fall in 476 CE.”
To
conclude, modern man has already invented nuclear weapons of total destruction.
While highlighting the existential threat involved in future wars the German scientist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) said: “I know not with what weapons World War
III will be fought, but the World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
