The eternal loop of changing trends-then-back to our roots

We see changing trends, update our way of living, term them as modernization, just to realise that we keep going back  to our roots each time to find solace.

For example, yogic poses if one observes were an integral part of a daily routine like squatting, namaskar, eating food sitting in sukhasana; to see things replaced by its sedentary counterparts in the name of modernized living.

Now decades later, yoga becomes a trend, the same activities are advised to us by trained counsellors.

Common sense became complicated, complex situation and thinking became common trend. Now one needs experts to learn things that were  once common sense.
The trend of home remedies, natural healing, mantra yoga, color and sound therapy which was followed since ages has become a movement.

Thumb impressions were the most authentic identity verification systems since ages, with modernization they got replaced with signatures, later realising that it could be copied, after which came digital signatures  and now biometric identities using fingerprints and retina checks 🙂

You  see, we keep looping and eventually come back to our roots.

Before we blindly adopt a trend in the name of modernization, let's think, analyse to see  if it is really necessary to be part of this bandwagon.

Worth giving it a thought I hope.
