We grow old and fall dead. There is no country for dead men. Here’s a story.
New inventions, discoveries, technology, products, opportunities, and generations. All these are a sign of growth, advancement, and prosperity.
We are here to expand our wings and make our presence felt in this booming era of rapid, steroidal upheaval in societies.
These shifts have repercussions we consciously ignore, blinding ourselves with the myth that money equals “Peace” and fame equals “Happiness.” So, what happened to the dead?
Think about us. How did we evolve?
Long ago, we split from our primate cousins. We became the Homo species. We climbed to the top of the food chain, walking over the graves of our ancestors.
But have we really changed? Not much. We gained skills, built tools, and grew powerful. Yet we drifted away from awareness of who we are.
We built societies, colonies, drew borders and are divided by race. We even decided how other species must live. Look at us from above the food chain.
There are no rivals left. But evolution still burns inside our DNA. We’re consuming our own kind, competing against ourselves to stay on top. Does it even matter? No one knows and we don’t have to feel bad for it.
Earth is the only place in this vast universe where we “exist.” But for many, survival is the only goal. Awareness of life? Just optional.
Our past speaks.
History gives us plenty of evidence. Great beings once walked this earth. They tried to awaken human consciousness.
But what did we do?
Instead of learning from them, we chose to worship them. We built idols. We followed blindly, without purpose, without thought.
Thinking is an art. For a few, it comes naturally. For most, it feels like hard labor. And sadly, many in that “most” group end up in positions of power, in politics, in society.
For them, survival is the only goal. They twist the teachings of the past. They mislead humanity for personal gain.
So, how relevant is this? This cycle never stops. A balance between the conscious and the survival-driven is always present. Both are part of nature.
But evolution does not wait. Those who live with awareness will understand how change works. Those who live only to survive will burn themselves out. They consume their own kind and pave the way for what comes next.
Evolution keeps moving. The irony is hard to miss.
Life isn’t a game of winning or losing. We live on a speck of dust, floating in a beam of light from one star among billions. We call it “chaos” only because we don’t understand it yet.
And one day, we’re all gone.
In the end.
It is wiser to choose awareness than to live only for survival. That’s where true growth begins.
When we live consciously, we see how our actions shape our lives and the lives of others. Survival alone keeps you breathing. Consciousness makes life meaningful.
As humanity evolves, we must face a hard truth. No matter what we build, no matter how much we achieve, there is no country for dead men. Power, money, borders, all these vanish the moment life does.
The image above says it all. Evolution doesn’t care about our titles or our pride. It moves forward with or without us. So the real question is, do we evolve with awareness, or do we let survival instincts drag us into self-destruction?
Consciousness is not luxury thinking. It’s survival on a higher plane. It’s what separates us from endlessly repeating the same mistakes. And if we refuse it, evolution will still do its work, but at a price we won’t like.
