Been quite sometime since I put pen to paper. Thoughts come and go, endless and tirelessly our minds work and we have a capacity to produce only five percent of what our brains anticipate.
Shocking isn’t it?
So the statement “The human mind is indeed an amazing organ” isn’t wrong.
We, humans, have a tendency to not use it to its complete potential. And the best part of this?
Despite of using as less as just a meger five percent of our brains, we are able to perform the most extraordinary feats. Infact,everything we see right now is due to the creative thinking of the mind. Hell, even the device which you are using to read this article is due to the creativeness of the human mind.
Ever imagined, by using a complete one hundred percent of your brain which task cannot be accomplished?
But according to me, its more of precaution.
The use of the human minds should be apparently done for the good and the betterment of humanity.
Instead the Great Albert Einstein used his high intellectual and brilliant intelligence to create the most destructive substance one the planet – The Atom Bomb
We aren’t unfamiliar with this term. Used first in the second world war. And as a wepon of mass destruction, was launched on the populated city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Uncountable number of people lost their life just because of the World’s greatest scientist decided to use his Brilliance for Destruction.
My question is whether intelligent is really such a boon? Or whether being born to work-hard a bigger gift from the Almighty? Think about it and do let me know if you solve the mystery of the paradoxical event of this very essence of living known as lifetime of an individual.

Hi. 🙂
This is quite a thought-provoking article and I must say quite well written. Just thought I’d bring to your notice a few grammatical errors that I seemed to have come across while going through the article.
To begin with, in the first line of the the third paragraph (“Despite of using as less as just a meger five percent of our brains…”), the ‘of’ after the word ‘despite’ ought to be omitted as it is grammatically incorrect. Also, in the same line, the spelling of the word ‘meager’ is incorrect. Finally, in the phrase “..five percent of our brains”, the use of the word ‘brains’ is imprecise. The reason being that the word implies the existence of more than one brain, that is the the word ‘brain’ in its plural form.
Coming to the first line of the fifth paragraph, the phrase “its more of precaution.” is missing an article. There has to be an ‘a’ before the word ‘precaution’. Also, the use of the word ‘its’ here is fallacious. ‘It’s’ is short for ‘it is’ or ‘it has’.
‘Its’ is the possessive form of ‘it’. Since the expanded form of the phrase is intended to be read as ‘it is more of a precaution’, the ‘its’ must be replaced with an ‘it’s’. To put in a more straightforward and unembellished way, an apostrophe must be added between ‘it’ and ‘s’.
In the very next paragraph, the first sentence reads: “The use of the human minds should be apparently done for the good and the betterment of humanity.”
There are two fallacies in this sentence. One, as I explained to you about the imprecision of the use of the word ‘brains’, the word ‘minds’ is equally flawed and must be replaced with its singular form, that is ‘mind’ for similar reasons.
Also, your sentence would sound a tad bit more grammatically accurate, had it been framed this way: “The use of the human mind should apparently be done for the good and the betterment of humanity.”
In the second last paragraph (“We aren’t unfamiliar with this term. Used first in the second world war. And as a wepon of mass destruction, was launched on the populated city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”), there are quite a few errors. The first one that I’d like to bring to your notice is how disjointed the sentences seem. The solution to that is quite basic. The use of punctuation marks accurately should do the trick. For insistence, a comma should be used between ” Used first in the second world war” and “and as a wepon of mass destruction”. Also the third-person singular neuter pronoun ‘it’ should be used before the phrase “was launched on the populated city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” The word “weapon” has also been misspelled.
Coming to the first line of the final paragraph, the article ‘an’ must be used before the word ‘Uncountable’ and the word ‘life’ has to be expressed in its plural form, that is ‘lives’. Also, in the phrase “just because of the World’s greatest scientist decided to use his Brilliance for Destruction.”, the word ‘of’ before the phrase “the World’s greatest scientist” contributes to the grammatical flaws of the paragraph.
In your conclusion, the line “My question is whether intelligent is really such a boon?” must be framed as: “My question is whether intelligence is really such a boon?”.
Also, I failed to comprehend most of your next question, “..whether being born to work-hard a bigger gift from the Almighty?” mostly because of the way it has been worded.
The most important bit that I’d like to touch on is that the physicist Albert Einstein did not participate directly in the invention of the atomic bomb, but was instrumental in facilitating its development. His Special Theory of Relativity emphasized that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate this principle.
During World War II, the United States, with the assistance (collaboration) of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers from the U.S., Britain, Canada and Europe, completed the Manhattan Project to produce the first atomic bomb.
(The project started as the “Manhattan District Engineers” and only became “The Manhattan Project” some time later).
There was some early speculation about the possibility of what could be done if a nuclear chain reaction was unleashed in a way that would allow it to build without control. For a roll call, consider that Robert Oppenheimer was the head of “science” for the Manhattan Project, and (in alphabetical order) Felix Block, David Bohm, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, James Franck, Otto Frisch, Klaus Fuchs, Rudolf Peierls, Emilio Segre, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner all played crucial roles in getting the weapon designed and built.
The first demonstration of “the gadget” (the code name for the first atomic bomb) was at Trinity site in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and it proved that the weapon would detonate and that the chain would build as predicted. The second and third demonstrations were conducted in Japan, which brought a quick end to the Second World War. Just up to and during World War 2, Germany was also working to develop atomic weapons, but was hampered by many technical and political problems (including sabotage and Allied bombings) which prevented their successfully completing their work. This left the U.S. as the only nation to ever unleash nuclear weapons in an attack.
Cheers!
