“Human” , this word is troublesome for many for many generations. But whom it troubles? Persons who try to understand what being human is.
In this world you will find everything even persons calling themselves as GODs, but what you will not find is a person who wants to be a human.
Nobody likes being just human. We want something more than just being human. We are not satisfied with ourselves even if we gain the whole world.
There is this emptiness in our selves that is never filled not with the materialistic life style, still we run after it. Even after being the most intelligent of the living beings we call ourselves we still are failing to become human and go after just material needs and instincts as of an animal does. It seems as if animals are occasionally more intelligent than humans themselves.
e.g. a human in todays world will only think of being something else which he is not and living a pseudo dream of success and to achieve it they will do no matter what it may take. But an ant just remaining an ant and it lives and dies as an ant and gives its life for the good of its community and not being selfish upto a level. But humans have fighting communities with eachother but if there is no one other to fight than they fight with oneanother in the same community.
The reason is just simple that humans just get in to becoming something that they just ceases to be a human anymore.
If you ask anyone whom you know or not just ask who or what are you? And you will get an answer like I am a doctor, or engineer or something which shows his own speciality, which makes him better than others. But you will not come along with a person who will say I am a human, at least I haven’t met anyone yet who calls himself as a human.
And there are two things which are suppose to uplift & increase the comfort & prosperity & happiness in human world i.e. politics & religion or belief, have become the worst things which makes a human in to an inhuman form.
Why this is happening? Because of the same reason that man wishing more than others, wishing to become more important than others. This wish is the main reason of the human’s downfall.
What today we see is just politics which is a dirty one. What I will write about is less than what everyone already knows but what about religion. Religion or belief has given a great part in making human history both good & evil.
What today we see on streets & temples & mosques & churches is just the pseudo religion created by those who are in power on big posts in both religion & politics. These people use religion to control public, to divert them from truth & to gain material success & to control the world. These few peoples are not the real culprits but we ourselves are because we let them control us, we don’t think rationally & we are like they are as they come from us.
Use of religion or let us say misuse of it for personal gain is in everybody’s doing. We ourself use religion for material gains only. When it comes to speaking of religion the words are superiorly used to show its importance and when time comes to practically do it everyone goes on a back foot.
What is not harmful to us in religion we believe is the only things we will try to do. But human nature is like that everything told in the name of religion is not always right. People become atheist because of many reasons. First is the fact that there are fabrication & addition in every religion. Second is to the material mind most gain is possible in it. He wants to do everything but not get blames for it. Just as to get higher than others. Third is to reject everything that doesn’t fit with own thought precess. But aren’t these qualities present even in non atheists?
So when question of GOD comes people tend to differ, but then why almost in all religion the original message is about peace and mercy and to do good of other humans and other living things. Not to harm others and all that?
Is religion contradict themselves and the GOD himself? No as per my thinking humans have added what they think is right to the religion or belief of their own. Even atheist are not free from this they have their own belief and notions which are were speculations and no proof same as in religion.
We can discuss about GOD and religion for a long time but this is not the point, the point is being human. You believe in GOD or NOT but is your thinking rational or you just make others look lower than yourself. I am the greatest, I am the best, I know everything, you are fool to believe this & that … & so on.
These things are of no value, the valuable thing is humanity. Being human is important, being kind, just, honest , forgiving, cheerful, helping and other good qualities and stop being hateful, superstitious, lack of respect for human life, fighting and so on…
If you wish good for your ownself than you are happy, but everyone thinking for others besides themselves than everybody is happy. Being human is being a good person, truthful, just helping, kind, honest and all this is difficult to achieve if you think as others are.
Don’t think others to become human, become human yourself and you will find good in everything for everybody.
