CAUSES

And when our blind eyes were opened we realized we lost...

Because we could find the answer to anything in the world in Vedas, the ancient Hindu texts
Because we thought Vedas had words of God and could not be wrong
Because we surmised man, intelligence, consciousness exist because God exists
Because we were unaware scientists always ignored us or never read the books we read
Because we started calling them arrogant and bigots and they came after us
Because we think nothing new, only our speculations
Because we could not prove anything we claim to be true
Because we each think we are a one-eyed-king among the blind and the rest are all blind
Because we hardly knew we were no match to the men of science
Because we never liked science, only irrationality and spirituality

And we lost --
Because irrationality, blind beliefs, religions and God are the things of the past
Because science holds the keys to the present, past and the future.
