Man and machine
Once a student asked the great poet Dr. Rabindranath Tagore, " Sir ! If you were to choose between a machine which does not make any mistake and a man who commits mistakes, whom will you prefer?"
Tagore smiled and replied, " I will prefer the man who does mistakes. Many a times mistakes churn out great truths and discoveries.Man can make a machine. But machine however perfect and good it maybe , it cannot produce a human being."
We are living in the age of machines. We cannot dismiss the good that our gadgets have brought to us. Everything gets better and easier. But we have become so much dependent on the machines that most of us have somehow slipped out of the human qualities and potentials which are inherent in us.Man in the name of modernity has made his life so artificial that he himself has become a machine.
