We are living in a materialistic society, and everything including biotic and a-biotic entities in the world is offered a price. All human relationships are totally defined in terms of monetary expressions! Every person has a monetary value while woman is offered a special value due to some other reasons. I think that we all have only two options broadly in the current context:
1. We (humans) have to market/sell a product (a service) manufactured (developed/invented) by somebody else as our livelihood Or
2. We (humans) have to market/sell ourselves partly or fully as our livelihood without thinking about shy and sham.( from our talents, knowledge... to our body parts)
One and only ambition of people, as it is visible, is to earn “money” from morning to mid-night by using hook or crook, at times without sleeping!
What do you think about the future of “human species”? Is our future bright? Or dull? I would like to invite you all “please make a constructive criticism on the issue”
Good Luck!

I know that making a living is not easy and we have to work so hard and some may love money more than anything else, but as many as people who care more for money than anything else, we have some people who care for humanity than anything else. One example is Mother Theresa, she was caring for poor people and we have so many people now that care for humanity. One example is Julian Assange, he told the truth without even thinking about the consequences of his actions and now he is ends up living in exile. So, I think the future is neutral since as much as bad things happen on earth, good things happen too. So, we can't really say the future is terrible or great.
Dear Nafis,
Thank You So Much for your comment!
Your point is that both bad things and good things are occurred equally in the world, and bad things are cancelled out by good things. Ultimately, the overall result is natural, am I correct? Actually, I write to EC on two purposes:
1. To improve my English skills as well as
2. To understand the way people think about this world.
I believe that the diversity in human society is very important to generate new ideas, and it paves the way for social development. I believe that we live and enjoy a lot at present due to some good people who lived and sacrificed a lot in the past for humanity. For example, slavery is a big issue in the old world (have you read “Roots by Alex Haley”?) but in the modern world, we all totally reject slavery because it crushes the humanity. Many good people in the past fought against slavery and sacrificed their lives for mankind. “Today means the blood and sweat of our ancestors”. So, I feel the world moves forward little by little in a periodic rhythm, in which we could meet ups and downs, searching for a better place than our past.
Good Luck!
