Abstract

Human fulfilments are linked to human needs. The magnitude as well as the diversity of needs determines the probability of needs being fulfilled or unfulfilled. The degree of accomplishments also hinges on the time and the socio‐economic environments made available to satisfy the desired needs. Of the two factors ‐ time and environments used as a proxy for opportunities, the former being the most crucial factor is controlled by the creator and the latter by the creation. Here comes the role of the creator in so far as the human need fulfilments are concerned. Therefore, none, not even the nihilist can deny the presence of a super power, call it the God, the Almighty or the Nature that is in full control of time factor even though many of us tend to believe in the power of the creation to make use of time and environments in the way he likes.
