Programmed to evolve

29th July 2016, New Delhi
Looking through the lens of history
Into the DNA of humanity
While a lot of that is still a mystery
There is one reality
In the human case history
We have been programmed to evolve
Mutations like wars, terror , and more come and go
The human race binds to its fundamentals for its overall race to grow
Knowing ourselves has been a constant pursuit
Although sometimes some views are put on mute
And yet
science has allowed us to deep dive
Knowledge of the blueprint, and how the  DNA survives
The invisible code is now being read
To know your past in the present and the future without being tense
Healthcare is at that inflexion point
Where prediction and prevention
May become your prescription
As that becomes a healthcare protocol
Perhaps we can all take that as a resolve
For
We are all programmed to evolve
