Being A Human Being

"Humans"...'The King of this World, who rules the roost and who has the edge over every living being.' Sounds a bit Uncanny to face this eternal fact, Doesn't it? Now there's nothing so bad about this if U are superior than all other living beings. Somehow our ancesstors got the boon of having a proper brain which can think beyond just to survive in this world like other living beings. They had the ability to observe, analyze, infer & act accordingly. Unknowingly they took the course of primitive science. They realised the theory of Darwin "Survival of the Fittest" in due time and responded to the odds of the nature. They invented weapons to survive in the wild, they took shelter in the caves, they found how to make fire and how to utilize it properly....and they moved on to build a civilization. Everyone knows about this History of "Rise of Humans". But is this how U can label out and identify a human being? I mean to say that a person who looks like us and posseses all the qualities mentioned in this piece defines a Human Being wholly? If your answer is yes then I would say " Sorry Sir, I beg to differ".

There's something more essentially required to be Human. There should be something more that makes us different from others. Guess what ...... it's the Humane qualities I am talking about. It's the ability to love each other, care for other people, feeling for each other. It's about cooperation, togetherness & brotherhood. It's that elementary thing that makes you laugh over the simplest of jokes, to enjoy a party with old school friends, giving a hug to your near & dear ones, sharing a gentle kiss with the person you love most in this world, it's like dancing in the rain in an afternoon, it's the joy that one feels after scoring a goal in a football match. It's also about taking care of the folks who looked after you throughout their life, being a responsible father. It's the urge to make other people happy around you, it's the willingness of going out to help someone who is in distress, it's the desire to make your society & country a better place to live in, it's the ability to perceive grief and pain of others. It's about emotions, sentiments & feelings, all these which actually does the justice to the name of our race "The Humans...". The problem is in this modern world we people are least bothered to do the minimum favor to our race. Selfishness & Hatred is looming large on this modern new world. People are at War against each other. If this goes on soon the superior race will become extinct. It's time when we should put our thinking cap on and act like ourselves, i.e start behaving like a Human Being. Because "Being a Human Being" is the simplest thing to do to make this world a better place to live in.
