Diverging Universe, Converging World

A big boom! It was after this big bang that the universe started expanding, generously providing space for all those baby stars and rocks and planets to live. We never knew our universe was expanding until Edwin Hubble discovered it when he found that the further away a galaxy was, the more its spectral lines were red shifted. So nearby galaxies are moving away from us slowly and far away galaxies are moving away much more quickly. At a symposium, Stephen Hawking had stated that at the recent times the universe is expanding faster than ever in the recent times.

Along with the diverging universe are its beings diverging; the galaxies are diverging, the stars are expanding and the planets are moving. But there is just one creature that is not diverging but converging, a species at least importance in such a vast universe- us, the humans. We are coming closer each day, breaking the territorial and traditional barriers of the world. No difference in believes or looks are holding back the people. We are now one society with a mono-culture and a mono-language. We are moving towards globalisation. We now accept and understand each other’s believes and idols. There are no more arcane cults within this society. The society is not acquiesced to blind superstitions. What explains this situation of enlightenment? The answer can be said in three simple words- advancements in technology. May we be talking about technological advancements in transport or communication, we have to still agree that without smart companions we have now, the globalization would have never been possible. It was the same intrepid master brains who provided us the vision of outlook of the skies and stars that gave us all this helpful technologies around us.

Even when we say that converged and not diverge or expand; we did expand but in our hearts. With every new compartment of universe discovered or opened, new compartments of our hearts were opened. Our hearts expanded to fill in more tolerance, acceptance and above all else love- love for our mother and father, love for our religion, love for our country and love for our mother Earth. However naughty and disobedient one may be and how well behaved the other son be, a mother will always love all her children equally; it is the day that we understand this we will start loving our brother or sister and mother. This is the same way that we open up our eyes to the justice, equality, love, care and compassion our mother earth that we start loving our brothers and sisters from different races and culture. This is the time we can call ourselves globalised and human.

Globalization teaches the person to take sorrow for misshapen of brothers across the seas. Globalization teaches a person to be greedier in terms acquiring knowledge about your surroundings and learning about the different cultures and religions of the world. How many ever disadvantages of globalization pointed out, we should realize that without the modernization and the converging that brought up the influx and revolutionary ideas, we would be no close in unraveling the mysteries our father universe gave us. Without globalization, we would still be in the darkest of the path that leads to the light.

The universe is our father, carrying all his children- the stars, comets, moons, planets and all other living beings on his shoulder. It is not that he cannot drop of the humans on his journey but it is because he sees hope in us. He knows the convergence of our society will lead to our enrichment in solving the unexplained mysteries of the diverging space. To understand the soul of universe, to advance in technological and social skills. This is where the convergence and divergence joins hands, for the betterment of a planet so small yet so important.
