Humans Vs Humanity

Sometimes, during the late night hours, as my thoughts go beyond the horizon, I used to wonder what man has done ever since he evolved. May be he can think he is proud of the scientific and technological accomplishments he has made right from the day he has invented the fire, wheel etc. Today, Technology has developed in such a way that the whole world can be destroyed by a single click .Has man proved himself to be the most civilized and cleverest of all creatures in these million years.

The recent album by A.R.Rehman just provoked some thoughts in me regarding poverty alleviation in the world and the very fact that more than 3 million People (half the world’s population) live below poverty line. What has man achieved ever since the day of his evolution? He might have reached the pinnacle of technological advancements and the zenith of scientific developments .But, hasn’t he failed in the very basic thing of showing love to his fellow beings. I always wonder, has man done all those things that he is made to do without showing the following qualities to his fellow beings….

Compassion

Solace

Devotion

Respect

Truth

Understanding

Peace

Tolerance

Kindness

Justice

Harmony

And if you think accomplishment is achieving something that other mortals can’t, then do it with all of the above qualities. The happiest thing that you would ever do in your life is doing something that makes others happy…

Celebrate Humanity, Love Others, Love Yourselves….

Long Live Compassion…..
