ABSTRACT

Human being is the only driving machine of earth ecologically, director of war and peace politically and lord of everything by survival of the fittest theory of Charles Darwin. Human species was started their journey on earth more or less two million years ago from Anthropocene that was 1950s from the time this was clear that human is the God of everything earth concerned including themselves. Human was and is the hunter of betterment of their life and this process of hunting or searching is endless. In that sphere human are non-compromising even with earth’s health and environment, dangerous consequences for near future destructive for whole life cycle of the planet including human being naturally.   However, if one goes through the path of history, she/he can see a black chapter and that is suppression of one by another. Here comes mentality of human being and from the phase of slave society, a group of people gathered power and began to suppress fellow persons though the powerful group is unthinkably smaller than the people was and is being tortured.  This is also seen that human being is going towards a way of luxury and this is a part of their mentality from the prehistoric age. Human being couldn’t and can’t stay in open air throughout the year need shelter, cover and so many things to live on earth. Their existence would be impossible if human should stay in open air like other animals. Human is only exception, can’t do anything without using artificial commodities i.e. clothing, shelter and this is impossible for them to fight with the adverse forces, powers and animals of nature except making a group. However, that was prehistoric period but today human can move, stay, fight, live and do anything they want without help of others. But their lust for better life and luxury never ends. This tendency takes us all to a dangerous phase, the day of total destruction from where no one can return to life.  However, a smallest group of people have been trying to solve the grave situation but can’t find proper way. This is a passive and destructive mentality of human being started not from the last decade of twentieth century but from the prehistoric age. The author of the article is trying to find the way of life expecting the mentality of human being would change one fine morning suddenly and surprisingly.
