Acharya Prashant explains that modern society has become a death-seeking collective, resembling walking corpses or zombies who have lost their zest for life. He points out that the normalization of hazardous air quality and filth in Indian cities is a symptom of a deeper spiritual decay. When the innate human quality of inquiry and curiosity dies, the spirit becomes indifferent to its own survival. He argues that people have become anti-life, subconsciously creating conditions for their own destruction because they have lost the joy of living and the connection to truth. This indifference is reflected in how society mocks those who try to protect themselves from pollution or maintain civic standards.
