Developments are not necessarily improvements. The human race may have developed a lot from what it was earlier on some other point of time, but it has not progressed so much so it has developed. Though the investment of time, capital and efforts and the consequent returns have seen a tremendous change, yet the desired kind of satisfaction is not anywhere to be seen in the society.

Prior to this moment or period of time there would have been dearth of efforts to meet out the requirement of an average standard of living, today there is dearth of requirements to accommodate all the efforts of all the people. The continually generated efforts must need a proper  treatment in earliest to let them not take a toll on the prospects of a balanced living life.

The humanity may claim to have discovered means and ways to ease the life of people by inducting large scale macro machines and very small nano techniques to change the outlook towards different things, but the anxieties of nothing to do has emerged more dangerous than the earlier one. There is hardly any one who fears lack of earnings  or at least not more than those who fear inactive life. Even the poorest of the poor is not eating less than a common meal or wears less than a common wear. Still then, the tiredness of the unending spell of  being workless has undone the taste of all the developments.

The greats from times immemorial had prescribed a simple living, where there is a balance between cause and effect. Where everyone has something to do, besides the all apparent some thing to eat, wear and shelter. The blind chase of maximum returns has left many an activities unnecessary and unaccommodated, challenging the dream of a sustainable development of the mankind. Extra spare hours have given birth to many a harmful activities that has begin to show the monstrous effects on the Innocent face of humanity. Growing radicalism, political power greed and  psychological disorders are all fuelled by the spare hours of mankind. 

To cope the repercussions of unaccommodating spare, we need to pause and ponder over the situations growing out of the so for unattended disproportionately growing leisure. We must find and educate the course of life that succeeds in accomodating physical struggle and effort, to direct the society towards a positive sphere of living. Too much stress on comfort and more importantly immediacy will lead to a different kind of discomfort and inconvenience.

To do away with the chaos and frustration, waiting to dance in naked, we must have to reconsider the policies on collective level, besides our principles at individual level. Development should be sustainable, and fluctuational strides, a common feature of our society, therefore, cant be taken for granted any long. Left undone, we may amply refer to developments as otherwise.
