Are countries not facing a dilemma?

In the epic Mahabharata, Karna, a warrior of immense power and generosity, became a symbol of loyalty, but also of the tragic consequences of siding with unrighteousness. He possessed extraordinary fighting skills and was known for his unwavering commitment to Duryodhana, even when aware of Duryodhana's morally questionable actions.

This transition ushered in an era of hope and opportunity, breaking the chains of oppression and fostering creativity in all facets of human life. Although there is no specific date marking the start or end of this period, it saw the decline of feudalism and the rise of new socio-economic structures in Europe, even as religious institutions gained influence. This era was marked by globalization, as trade routes expanded to previously uncharted territories. It transformed daily life with groundbreaking discoveries in both the arts and sciences. While Asia may have seen its zenith of achievements earlier, this period also became a significant chapter in its history.
