THEY ARE MEANS NOT THE END.

Familiarity breeds contempt goes the popular saying. In the time past, the beauty of creation was a revelation of the creator. Our fore fathers realized that the beauty of the world has a value. But today we live surrounded by extraordinary phenomena but do not see them, because we are too use to them; and even when we don’t observe. We are so much distracted that we do not see beyond the star in the sky. The resulting ill is that the world is taking charge of us. Contrary to the order and blessing we received from the creator at the beginning of creation we have become slaves to created things. In his message to the whole world for the 43rd World Communication Day, the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI noted that the new digital technologies are indeed bringing about fundamental shifts in pattern of communication and human relationships. He therefore urged us to see it primarily as reflections of our participation in the communicative unifying love of God. We must realize that created things are not end in themselves but means to an end. They must direct to a higher being responsible for their existence.
