3. Earning & Time Value

Wild animals do not work and they live on what they get in wild. Domestic animals do not earn too. They are fed by their masters. Children , old and sick people are parasitic sub-ordinates to their bread earners. A person has to earn some thing for his own and for his sub-ordinates' survival.

Earning of a person is consumable equivalent available to him within a time unit against his physical and mental work and that depends upon output of his work and his working situation and surroundings. Only working person earns some thing. Non-working persons live either on accumulated earning ofr as parasites on others' earnings. Time value of a person is sum of consumable accessible to a person from all sources in a unit time. People may live without earning but they can not do so without time value. Any human being with zero time value is a dead person. So time value of a person or personal time is accessible amount of consumables of person within a unit time. In other words, time value is amount of consumables (materials & services) available from different sources accessible to him. While for working person earning is main portion of time value, donation or charity or accumulated earning or subsidies are main source for parasitic sub-ordinates. Children too have their time value though they have no earning.

4. Prosperity

Who is more prosperous? A person earning Rs. 70,000 in New York or a person earning Rs.15,000 in Kathmandu? Does person earning Rs.100,000 per annum lives better life than a child of millionaire parents? Looking deeply in these condition we find that though earning may be main component of prosperity, it is not the final one and that too depends upon situations and environments. Among two persons, we can find more prosperous and less prosperous by comparing their time value. Among many people we can make a comparative time value list. This may be for one environment, for one condition. For example, we can compare prosperity of similar professionals in one locality and in one condition. For different professions in different locality , in different condition, first we should get prosperity between localities, between professions and between conditions.

Thus, prosperity of an individual is a comparative expression of its time value with that of others in similar conditions. For example, individuals A, B, C of similar profession live in same condition and locality with time values WA, WB, WC respectively. Let TA, TB, TC be their comparative prosperity, then

TA = WA/ WA=1

TB= WB/ WA

TC= WC/ WA

If TB and TC are less than TA , B and C are less prosperous than A and if more, they are more prosperous. Prosperity of a single individual can not be measured. Change in one's time value may change one's prosperity and equally change in others' time may change one's prosperity too.

In above example, if A, B, C are n individuals in a society or group, then time value of group G is

WG = WA + WB + WC + ………… to n times

and average of that group is

WGAV = WG/n

Groups may be professional, institutional, regional, political and of all sorts. Prosperities between two individuals of two different groups are effected by prosperity of corresponding group strata or level. Average time value of the group individual rather than total time value will represent the prosperity of the group. For example, in a group it the sum of all individual time values is WG, then time value WGAV

WGAV = WG / n

and prosperity of individual in the group will be

T1 = WG1/WGAV ; T2 = WG2 / WGAV and so goes up to Tn

or

Ti = WGi / WGAV where I = 1,2,3,4, ………….n-1, n

Similarly, prosperity of individual in group B with respect to that of group A

T of group B/ T of group B = Average time value in group B/ Average time of group A

1. To human being

I have no reason to believe the religious doctrine of creation and so have to follow Darwinian theory of evolution. As we find coral like semi-living or semi-nonliving animals or materials even now, they provide justification to believe in creation of animal from material by evolution, though the first creature was lowly one-cell like creature. No doubt that creature received all his nourishment from one source to make his life easy. Instead of changing non-living to living time and again , the one-cell creature learned to divide itself to two and further. Sexual generation was not evolved at all. Step by step, the one-cell creature evolved to multi-cell one and source of nourishment became diverse and so started a harsh competition for food, water and air. Bi-sexual creatures fought for their mates too. They moved from place to place to fulfill these needs. Millions of creatures evolved in earth but needs are limited to air, water, food and mate and those too in time of physical need. Nature freely provides them what they need or they adjust to what nature provides them or they have to die out. Natural evolution has no other option.

Evolution to human being created a new dimension in the law of nature, i.e. human being refused to obey an all uses to nature. While earlier creatures were limited to natural needs, man fascinated anew luxury called desire. only highly developed mind could afford such a luxury.

Thus came the difference between man and other animals. He learnt to act and venture to fulfill his desire. A semi-living creature was converted to desiring animal by evolution and he dominated the earth, sometimes, even defying the nature.

2।Human Desire

After all, what is desire which boosts human activity? What is the difference between human need and desire?

Every living being needs some thing basic to sustain his life and to continue its activity. every living being efforts to acquire these items in daily basis and is satisfied if it gets them but human being does not do so and wants some thing more. This want beyond natural requirement is called desire. While human need is essential for his survival, desire is just strong longing for satisfaction and happiness or for some thing beyond natural need. Desire may very from time to time, place to place and person to person. A person without desire is a hermit living in the wild, who has neither future plan nor better expectations.

Desire motivates a person to have more and activates him to gain it. A tallest jiraffe can grab the leaves not above of its height. Two bulls can hit or push each other what their strength provides. Even the fastest leopard has limit in its speed but man has no such limits. He uses stairs, cranes, lifts to raise, uses bicycles, vehicles, horses, airplanes to gain speed and wrestlers cunningly bare hand or uses tools and arms to win. The superb brain acts both negatively and positively to fulfill his desire Capacity of strength of others animal can be measured in power units but that of man can not be. Other animals have measurable physical strength but mental creativity of man is un-measurable. And so is desire. Fulfillment of one desire creates another one and so on. Desire creates capacity, capacity fulfills action, action creates gain, gain brings satisfaction and raises affluence level where another desire rises automatically. The never ending circle of human activity moves like a spiral upward raising human knowledge and affluence. Human civilization is creation of revolving activity of desire.



___________ Desire __________

Satisfaction
& Capacity
Affluence Level

Gain ______________________ Action



'Necessity is mother of invention' – says a proverb nut what a person may need if he is satisfied on what he has. Desire creates non-satisfaction or vice-versa. A person desires to be better than or superior to others. A bread earner demands loyalty and respect from family members. He desires superiority, efforts for it and gets it to earn respect and superiority. Thus we coe to conclusion: Animal needs are natural necessities for survival and desires are human necessities for prosperity.

पानीको देश

इतिहास पटक पटक दोहोरिन सक्छ तर एउटै भुल पटक पटक एक अर्कोले दोहोर्‍याउदै गयो भने उसले अरुको इतिहास बाट पाठ नसिकेको हो भन्न कर लाग्छ । दुर्मनशायले त्यो गरिएको हो भने त दुर्जनको ओखती हुदैन, नियत असल नै राखेको हो भने वास्तविकता र इतिहास दुवैलाई मनन नगरी एकोहोरो राग अलाप्ने हो भने सुमनशाय र दुर्मनशायको विचमा अन्तर हुदैन ।

डेढ दशक अगाडि नेपाल विद्युत प्राधिकरणले अरुण ३ को आयोजना अगाडि बढाउदा त्यो आयोजना भाँडनेहरूको लहैलहैमा लागेर नेकपा एमालेले सहयोग ऋणदाता विश्व बैंक सम्ममा विरोध गर्न पुग्यो र देशको दल मध्ये एकको प्रत्यक्ष विरोध देखे पछि विश्व बैंकले त्यो आयोजना बाट हात झिक्यो र अहिले पनि त्यो आयोजनाले राम्रा दिन देख्ने छाँट छैन । त्यो आयोजना सफल भएको भए नेपालले अहिलेको बिजुलीको हाहाकार बेहोर्नु पर्ने थिएन तर व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थ सिद्ध गर्न चाहनेहरूले दलिय स्वार्थलाई हावा दिएर त्यो आयोजना तुहाइ दिएको नेकपा एमालेले धेरै पछि मात्र थाहा पायो । त्यही एक मात्र कारणले नेकपा एमालेको छवि विद्युत विरोधि भएको मेटाउन गाहारो परेको छ । त्यो आयोजनामा अपारदर्शिताको कुरा उठाएर नेकपा एमालेले गरेको गल्ती अहिले नेकपा माओवादी इतिहास दोहोर्‍याइ रहेको छ । मेलम्ची आउछ आउदैन त्यो विवादको विषय बनिसक्यो र काठमाडौलाई सुकेधारा, ढुंगेधाराको पानीको आश देखाएर टैंकरमा मात्र होइन बोतलमा पानी बेच्नेको समूह पनि अब माओवादीका गुणगान गर्न थालेकाछन । माओवादीले 'सहरमा विकाश नभइ गाँउमा जान सक्दैन' भन्ने माओको सोचलाई मूलमंत्र बनाएकाछन र देङ स्याउ पिङले भने झैं विकाशको क्रम र सुविधा सहरबाट शुरु हुने कुरा मान्न तयार छैनन ।

यस्तै घटना दोहोरिन लाग्दैछ नेकपा माओवादी बाट । नेकपा माओवादी घुर्क्याएर निस्केको बेलाको मंत्री परिषदले निर्णय गरी दिन लागेको विद्युत योजना निर्माणको काम माओवादी आफ्नो अनुपस्थितिमा भएको भनी त्यसलाई विरोध गर रिहेकाछन तर न त्यसको औचित्या प्रमाण गरिरहेकाछन, न विकल्प नै दिएका छन । यस्तो जिम्मेवारी विहिन कार्यले देशको विद्युत विकाशले कुन रुप लिने हो र जनता विद्युतको सुलभ उभपोग बाट कहिले सम्म वञ्चित हुन् कुने निश्चित छैन ।
