Why are we here? What makes us different from other species? What makes us 'humane'?
At some point in life we have always asked ourselves that why do we even exist? If something pathetic is going on in your life, you say, "Kill me".Well that feeling is temporary but it's very intense at that moment and you ask various questions (as excuses) for not living and trying a way to find an end to this misery as soon as possible.
At that moment, nothing runs in our mind, we are just focusing on trying to have Peace back in our life.
Then Question arises,
What will you define 'Peace' as?
Like obviously a time of 'No war', but right now also, there is no peace. I mean for us,yes there is but on Nation's scale it's different.
There is no human in the world who refuses power. There is no human who hates. There is no human who can sacrifice his ego.There is no human who is not fake. There is no human humane?
Everyone wants something just as to serve it for themselves or someone else.
Not everyone is bad obviously. But good can be turned bad and vise-versa.
People believe nothing can change the bad ones so they leave them on their own. However, if there is someone really to care for 'em, someone who can make them realize, they're cherished ,loved and their life is not completely worthless; no matter if it's the worst-dirty minded/ criminal/man in the world,he can become good.
When you let go of your ego, thats when you realize everything you missed in life. This is the time when you regret doing stupid things.
Life is about the challenge. There are soooooo many problems we face in life. There are not just problems but there are goals we have to achieve too. In order for us to tackle the problems and achieve the goals, at first we have to analyze ourselfs. We have to look upto our potential and make decisions. Not everyone can take on these challenges. But people who do, they have the true face of success. All the hard work, the effort, pushing your own limits until the end, that's what makes life worth. This time of hard work which you put is what Life is about.
Not many people understand this, because they think living is just merely wasting time in technology, games, traveling ,etc. Not waste as such, even I like the above things, but right now people just see them as mere tools to pass time. Obviously life is impossible without them, but till necessity only. I mean just imagine someone asking you what are your aims in life or what have you done till now in life, I've seen 8 of 10 people answering ,"nothing much".
But if you have an answer to it, you have taken your first step towards success.
Whatever you are doing might be decent enough to get you through, but think out of the box, think of HOW CAN YOU MAKE IT BETTER IN YOUR OWN LIMITS. Think exceptionally. After all everyone is exceptional.
What makes Humans an exception from other species?
Well, obviously we have the most supreme intelligence then any other life form of Earth and considered as Earth's rulers. But there is more to that.
We are greedy, selfish, weak, and might never be as loyal as we say we are, however to the plus side something comprehends it all. We have feelings.
Like other species we do not just think of survival and self-sustainment trying to live as long as possible and always in search of food. We care about others too. Not just other people, but other species too.
We have will power. Even if we know we can't win against someone, we go head on head with them. When bad things happen to people close to us,we become sad. Other species also have those feelings but we are on a whole new level.
Life forms depends on each other for their survival, but they can never understand each other.
Like a tiger eating a deer. Tiger intention=Own survival. Deer= Own survival. But there is always something more to it. Say if the deer had just became a mother (may sound dumb), but when it is caught by the tigers claws, it cries. It cries in it's heart for never seeing it's buck(baby deer) again. Even they have feelings.
We humans can never understand them. I think it's human arrogance to think we understand how other life form feels.
We shouldnt think we have figured out in accordance to our standard of living. There is no life form which can be a true friend to man, but they are without a doubt our neighbours who deserve our respect.
We protect other creatures because humans themselves are lonely creatures.
We protect the environment because humans themselves don't want to go extinct.
What drives us is simply self-gratification.
There is not really a point to it. Because there is no point in despising humans by human standards.
So at the end it's hypocritical for us to love Earth without loving ourselves.
That's what I feel humans are like.
What makes us Humane?
Simply caring. Our friend, family, others that's whom we care about. You can go to limitless heights once you have experienced how it is like losing a friend. Take a hypothetical situation.
Say, you had an amazing life right from the beginning. Your parents loved you a lot. You made a lot of friends and lived a peaceful life.Say you finally found your passion in dancing as a teenager and simply lived for it. However... One day you hurt your knee soo bad that you can never dance again.
You become dull,idle and extremely depressed after hearing that from the doctor and his words pierce right though your heart. You become rude towards your parents even though they still care about you, never meet your friends and just feel more and more lonely.
And one day, *sucides in bathroom*
Now, you wake up in the 'afterlife'. You will be sent to heaven or reincarnation of soul according to your answer.
You are shown how much your parents miss you. How much they are blaming themselves and what all they are doing even after your death. They may do meaningless things too, like say putting your favorite mom-cooked food item in front of your picture. When you are shown all these things happening in the real world, a lot of emotions and feelings of regret pass through you.
Now you are asked a question. 'Would you like to go back to your home and forget about everything that happened here? The cost will just be some random human's life on Earth with whom you are completely unrelated to.' The answer for this distinguishs whether you are a good person or not.
Well, the answer is you shouldn't. No matter how much pain you are suffering through, say no. Because there is someone out there in the world who is cherished by someone else who they love and how huge an impact it can be for their lives too just how your mother had. Yes, this is the true human nature. The nature which cannot be defined by mere words. Caring for someone else after all you have been through. Becoming more kind after knowing the pain. This is what makes someone Humane. Although this is a rare quality, it does not come with a price. This quality is goodness, my friend goodness.
