Your evolution or devolution does not depend on external forces and environmental conditions. It depends on your personal concerted effort.
When you are alive , where is the problem?
Three old men were sitting in a park, discussing the inevitable, death. One old man of seventy-three said, “When I die I would like to be buried with Abraham Lincoln, the greatest man, loved by all.” Another said, “I would like to be buried with Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist, humanitarian, philosopher, lover of peace.”
