Where are we going

Where are we going, an endless question in our minds, 
Do science or destiny lead our ways? 
Life takes several paths, some lead to despair, some to the glory, 
Should we blame the failures in the name of destiny? 

If we do not believe in destiny, 
Let science be our guide, 
Through telescopes, we gaze at the distant stars, 
Unveiling secrets of worlds afar. 
Genomes mapped, we trace our lines, 
Understanding the code that intertwines. 
Curing diseases, we push the bounds, 
With each breakthrough, new hope resounds. 

Robots and AI, our new frontier, 
Ruling our lives as advancements near, 
The future may be bright, 
But soon learning hard way will be over, 
It is a dangerous precedence, 
AI influence on education should be legally controlled. 

If we believe in destiny, 
Let faith and understanding be our guide, 
Our deeds(karma) will shape our destination, 
You only have rights to your deeds, not their outcome,
In solemn moments, we should look within, 
To find the divine, where it all begins.

Very profound thoughts.... dear friend. Man's real worth is being questioned and is abominably and dangerously superseded by latest technologies and AI. This may have some immediate benefits, but in the long run, it will have far reaching consequences. Instead of getting hoodwinked by superficial progress, we should find time to inflame the divine spark lying dormant in us.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. What a great ending. So True... About your line "Robots and AI, our new frontier." Maybe new but maybe not so good. I just put one in on AI. "Good Luck" We both did this one. Have a wonderful day writing away............
