They were neophytes, but they felt the pride of being the cream of the crop-so they thought of themselves. They were very intelligent and their zeal was burning in their hearts. They have studied the BIG MACHINE & how it work. They have studied every part of it and how those parts inter related with each other to make the whole system work.
They were living within that system…and many of them admired the system w/o even being aware of it. They have seen how that BIG MACHINE growled like a beast every now and then.It was ONE HUGE BIG MACHINE that did not think-it followed the collective minds of the majority…and their leaders also controlled the BIG MACHINE in a babel of ways. They have also seen how it had munched, crippled and squashed some of their fellow engineers or no engineers who were foolish enough to get in its way. So they have been careful in the way they have move within the machine.
Now there were a lot of exhaust in the Big Machine. This was where the waste and fumes
comes out when the pressure within was too much. But because of the smell, the dirt & smoke that accompany such relief…the people had covered those exhaust holes located near them. The practice had spread throughout despite the warnings from old engineers who with their knowledge and experienced have come to understand the Big Machine more. But the old engineers now were a minority…for most have died. The neophyte were now overspreading within the whole system. And the warning NOT TO COVER THOSE EXHAUSTS HAVE NOW GONE UNHEEDED. The warning was forgotten! It was not remembered!

The neophyte engineers were even now encouraging the people to cover those stinking exhaust holes…the old engineers were not being honored, the foolish neophytes thought they were wiser than the ancient…
Now as hundred of millions of their fellows suffered because of sighing and heaving and trembling of the machine from the pressure that was building within…lives were destroyed in the process; whole household rendered w/o father or mother or both. As the people ask for answers for what was happening, the neophyte shouted their mantra: PRAY, LOVE ONE ANOTHER…FOR GRACE IS ALL YOU NEED! some of the foolish engineers even told their fellow to leave the people alone for the Lord of the engineers will take care of the hundred of millions that suffered for their foolishness….
WHEN WOULD THE FOOLISH ENGINEERS & their dupes WAKE UP?
Thoughts:
Everyone is like an engineer; not an engineer of materials things, but of the social one. Each one contribute his system of belief to the whole & what the majority believes that will be the most probable system of the society they live in. And if the majority are blinds, you know what the outcome will be.

We are the engineers of the world; but if the engineer losses his foresight, his bird eye view of the whole, what happens?
