World Upside-Down

The whole world is upside down.

These are weird times. Don't you think? There are so many things which just defy logic.

  1. Farmers are the poorest and make the least while the guys sitting in wall street/dalaal street make the most.
  2. Guys playing sports for entertainment while having a lot of fun and actors acting in front of the camera, while having dubious lifestyles, have the adulation, the money, the fame all the good things in life, even governments awarding them seats in the higher houses (Sachin, Rekha etc) and national honors, while the soldier who puts his life at risk to save his nation, is dying alone, sick, going crazy, while the govt. does not have enough money to support them and their families completely, and most of us cannot name a single soldier who laid down his life for the country.
  3. Places like Dubai, California and Texas, supposedly some of the driest places, technically considered deserts and in capable of support large human populations are brilliantly developed with people having the highest standards of living in the history of mankind, while places with the most livable conditions and places with the most resources like Africa, South America, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan are among the poorest/ worst standards of livings in the current world.
  4. College Drop outs are the richest in the world, while the smartest educated folks of the world are haggling over research and academia politics are making paltry amounts of money.
  5. Young 20 somethings are becoming billionaires almost instantly, while people working hard all their lives sometimes die making a paycheck in their old age.
  6. Executives are getting paid in the millions while they lay off thousands in the name of leaning down. Why won't they take a pay cut and save a few jobs? they should only deserve the millions if they are able to grow the company's value by growing the business, not by cutting the livelihood of the thousands who they cut like they are mowing grass. The real hard workers of organizations live pathetic lives while the super-rich executives, while having a easy life ruin so many lives because they lack the very skill for which they are being hired for and being paid millions of dollars.
  7. Last but not the least, Sanatana Dharma and its six main schools of thoughts are the soundest , most complete philosophies human kind can produce, are the least understood (even by their very own adherents), the least talked about and the least respected among the larger competitors, yet, the world is dominated by two major religions which, although while definitely having some great components, have only lead man into chaos (Crusades, Jihad, World War II etc etc etc. ) and has pushed very many into the dark hell of Atheism as well. 
I am sure you can think of a few more,

But the world is upside down.
