Understanding the progress

We often hear and we actually feel that "Our generation is making good progress in Education, Health & Living".

But we have to re think: Are we really making progress?

When we talk about progress in Health, we take criteria as,
  1. Hospitals are improved
  2. We got latest equipment
  3. Medicines available everywhere 
But the real criteria for good progress should be
  1. Patients count should be reduced
We are improved in count of  Doctors, Equipment & Medicines. Proportionally Patients count also improved (Sometimes you won't find beds, ICU rooms in the hospitals in Bangalore). The real progress in HEALTH is when we see more people HEALTHY not when there are more PATIENTS in the hospitals.

When a patient goes to hospital, doctors making them to come back again and again for years. A hospital should not be ranked GOOD by the equipment & doctors. Doctors should make the patient healthy in such a way that they should not suffer with the same disease again in their life. That's the real PROGRESS we need to achieve.

In case of LIVING, people think we are living luxurious life with computers,mobile phones, live TV etc. But there is a famous quotation which says it all
       " Life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits"

And the same applies for education also. Education is teaching physics,computers and management etc. But it is not teaching common sense. People doesn't know what is good and bad. Still educated people are
  1. Involving in corruption, 
  2. Fighting for caste, religions & reservations
  3. Allowing bad politicians to rule us
  4. Committing suicides to escape from the pressure given by life

When people cannot live happy life then what progress we made?
