Humans are one of the few animals which dream while we sleep. It might have been from the dreams of dead ancestors that the idea of life after death and associated memes such as gods, spirits, angels, demons etc arose. Here is a vlog on religion and morals

The prosperity of society depends on their mindset, intellectuallevel, culture, philosophy and ideals. Once a scientist (I forgotthe name) had said that humanity has lost a hell of a lot of timein asking the wrong questions (who created the universe?) andtrying to find answers to wrong questions. Once someoneintroduced the idea of life after death and human life only asa stepping stone for preparation of it, it spread like a virus andthe whole society and its efforts were directed towards it. Hugesand castle of philosophy and dharma were created based onthese unproved assumptions. If people Charvak asked whatwas the basis for these assumptions, it was told by meditationholy people and rushi munis know everything just by closingtheir eyes. Rest is history!SANJEEVOn Friday, 22 May, 2020, 11:21:26 am IST, Xavier William varekatx@gmail.com [aryayouthgroup] <aryayouthgroup@yahoogroups.com> wrote:In India we often ask the question why some countries are richer than others, with the answer already in our mind such as blaming invaders for our poverty and crediting the high standards of some nations such as Britain and France to colonization of other countries. In the process we overlook the fact that 1. there are many nations which have not invaded other nations such as Finland, Switzerland, Korea, Singapore etc and which have had no colonies and yet are highly developed, and 2. poor countries like Nepal and Thailand which remain under-developed though they were never occupied or colonized by other nations.Such prejudiced or jaundiced answers may be politically expedient in India. But they do more harm than good to the country. So a more balanced view of the state of affairs is needed if we are to get out of the quagmire of poverty we find ourselves in. Below is a presentation on why some countries are richer than others. You may not agree with all the answers given. But it is very much worth pondering over - Xavier William
