Interestingly, biotechnology existed even in pre-historic ages when the early man started harvesting crops and domesticating animals. In the good old days, the bakers experimented with soft, spongy bread. The poor baker did not know that he was making experiments as a pioneer biotechnologist. Animal breeders of early ages experimented with cross-breeding and realized that the favorable traits could be magnified in the offspring. Some scientists believe that biotechnology is a solution to all problems of life on this earth. The new discoveries of biotechnology have helped farmers to get pest-resistant crops and farmers are able to increase production, nutrition and many other characteristics. Scientists have developed techniques of gene splicing and recombinant DNA technology to get new molecules. They are confident that plant breeding can solve the food problem in India.

How is biotechnology a probable solution to all problems of life on this Earth?

One strong emotion that corrupts our brains is anger. The circulation of the blood increases in the angry man who feels cheated as he loses self-control and picks up a row. Why is one compelled to react to these negative emotions so strongly and irrationally? When one receives some bad news, self-control becomes impossible, the senses stop working and one may suffer anxiety and restlessness. This gap in self-control increases the chances that one feels cheated and the animal instincts take over.

Is there a way out of the situation? The trick here is to observe our emotions, instead of immediately reacting. This proves as an in-built check on negative tendencies like cheating. In other words, the strongest of emotions can be overpowered by introspection.
