The Human Eclipse
The breaking news about Paris bloodbath is disturbing and frustrating. It takes me back in time through all historical incidences at several places on the earth. It is much beyond just loss of lives and loss of property. It is about loss of values, ethics, and the sense of being human. What on the earth could be the reason that is good enough to kill innocent humans?
One of the basic differences between humans and animals is their respective place in food chain. Animals kill each other to survive, humans don't. In fact humans don't need to do that. The sustainability of human lives comes from principle of co-existence. We seek happiness from life, not just food and safety. Evolution helped us to get better in what we do and ensure our happiness. For the very fact that evolution is a natural process, we should not even worry about our future for it is going to get better continuously. Every new generation will have more intelligence than previous. All we need to do is to keep up our good work as we have been doing since ages.
There are times when we do things which are not aligned with our purpose. Lets call it 'Human Eclipse' where we come under the shadow of unknown and lose the direction. This is the eclipse of our own thoughts, our own habits, our own beliefs which takes us to the unknown territory. Any unknown is frustrating for humans. We start behaving like animals and lose the harmony. Once we are of opinion that we need to fight for survival, the new journey begins with animal inside us. The thoughtless actions follow. Kill everything that you think is danger to your life, danger to your family, danger to your community, danger to your country, danger to your continent, danger to your planet? No, we don't really care about planet for it is the self sustainable part of the galaxy created for humans to live and then do whatever they want with no questions asked by the creator. We do things as if we have full right to destroy everything around us hoping to get out of frustration, get out of eclipse, just to fail.
On one hand we talk about colonizing Mars, and on other we are killing the colonies we created on the existing planet. There is a big contradiction in our behavior and our purpose. We as humans are supposed to help each other to get the real benefits of evolution in terms of connectivity, mobility, accessibility and livability and betterment of this planet. It is our responsibility to protect our values, our lives, our cultures so that the next generations carry the message with them. The happiness lies in humanity and harmony among us. Let us get out of all these Human Eclipses which jeopardize us. They are the real threat to our existence.
Let us start helping each others for our responsibility towards humanity. Let us do it unconditionally as it is 'From Human to Human'. No big and small, no black and white, no poor and rich, Just The Human Being!
