Being a Human or a Human Being

Life- originated without my choice. Even it took, some period of time, to realize that I am a living entity present in this world. I initially did have no choice at all.

I was born on the same world, (no choice)
I was born as a boy (no choice)
I was born in a sweet family (no choice)
I was born in a lovely nation (no choice)
I was born with well suited physicality (no choice)
I was born with grace and love (no choice)
I was born as a human being (no choice)

Till this moment, there was no choice and no sense of ME. Before this, there was nothing. With birth, there was an existence. After birth, some senses arised.

I began to breathe, I began to move, I began to sleep. Soon, hours passed, days passed, month passed and years passed. Till this time, I had just two languages- a smile and a cry. I had a single state- silence. My eyes used to see the things-as they are. I had no thoughts, no reasons, no hopes, no problems. I only had two truths- ignorance and innocence.

Time passed, I uttered the first word. Soon, one word was not enough. I learned 100s of words soon. They taught me languages. They taught me expressions. They taught me- these things are mine and these things are theirs. They assigned me-MY HOUSE, MY RACE, MY CULTURE and MY COUNTRY. They assigned me- MY COLOUR, MY CASTE, MY RELIGION and MY NAME. They said these are my identities. They taught me goods and bads. They taught me highs and lows. They taught me white and black. They taught me this(mine) and that(other).

I started repeating the things. I started saying my Name- they assigned. I started preaching the god- they assigned. I started getting proud of colour -i don’t know who assigned. I started loving the religion- they assigned. I was lost in them completly. Everything that I had, was theirs, not mine.

I didn’t even notice that I do exist. I put on their assumptions like a cloth and started to say- These things are mine. I didn’t create anything and still I started claiming that those were mines. I enjoyed being the FOOL.

I saw, the whole world was doing the same. I think- you too started the life similarly. You too were taught so many things like me. You too were SCREWED-UP by the people around.

BUT REAL THINGS STARTED MISSING FROM US.

  • In the name of my (so-called) religion, I started making ill thoughts about you.
  • You and I ended up our relation, with the boundaries of our countries.
  • I see you with inferiority basing on our skin color.
  • I love my house, wife, family, society and country and think as if I have no relation with the WORLD and its creations.

& with hundreds of relvolutions, that took place in this world, We have hardly produces any HUMAN-BEING who lives for the world, who lives for the mankind, who has NO racial, cultural, religious or national bounds.

We have been producing Human-Beings (Human-like beings)for last 4000 years.

Let us work together, to create a Human,

to explore a human inside us..
