The Man and the World!

    This world is full of paradoxes, and the Man, I guess, is the biggest paradox of all. He is both the best and the worst. Its the reason of disasters and also the savior. He is like nuclear energy, in fission it can be an atomic bomb and in fusion it can be the very source of energy and the life, the Sun, and as a matter of fact, we are still struggling to get a hold on fusion while the disasters of fission are as obvious as air pollution. This species, considered to be the most advanced and the ultimate evolution, is the reason of biggest wipe out of other species, be in animal, bird, plant of anything and yet he is the only hope to save the planet too. We are here, to kill each other and also to save us from ourselves. 

    Human is probably the only developed species that kill its own type. The differential value of human life is so baffling.  Man is considered the conqueror of the world and we know about whats happening in stars too but we know so less about ourselves. We don't knows yet where we came from and where are we going. We have such a destructive instinct as wherever we go, all others are in trouble.

    I really am not sure whether to call our "intelligence" a boon or curse to the world. With our developed mind, we are finding new ways to destroy the planet. Just withing few thousands years of our existence, which is not even one-thousandth one percent of the time since the life evolved, we have created so much trouble in the world. The world is not even ten percent as diverse as it were before homo erectus evolved into homo sapiens. Yet we are supposed to be having inbuilt good in ourself. We are both the daemon and the god. We are the classic example of the misuse of power. We keep showing  that the power corrupts. We are like the Bhashmasur of Hindu mythology. The daemon, who wherever put his hand, cause it to get bhashm (burnt down). The power of fire we use not in lighting (illuminate) but in lighting (burn) .
    The power of thinking we use more in harming others in an attempt benefit ourself. How paradoxical it is. We all know life is one and we are all same. We also know the economics that the best is what is best for everyone as a whole and not just for individual. But yet, one try to single out oneself in order to exploit every resource we get, in a fear of scarcity or may be just out of greed. It reminds me of a story of heaven and hell.

    Once in the heaven and the hell, big sticks were tied to the hands of the people so that they could not bend their elbow and thus their hand could not reach their mouth. When super was served, in hell there was chaos. People were trying eat their food by all means like throwing the meal in the air and trying to catch it in mouth but could not succeed. But in heaven, it was all calm. Everybody happily had food. How?? Because their everyone fed each other sitting in front. Their hand could not reach their mouth but could reach the others. The simple act of serving others satisfied them all.

The moral is , we can survive only when we help each other rather than compete or serve only our mean interest. This world will be a beautiful place the day people will start thinking about others and not just about themselves. When we will consider ourself as the part of the universal life . The differential value of life will then be one....just like the almighty is.
