Humans


Why are we humans on this planet? Why were we chosen to be humans rather than animals or birds? Is there a purpose for which we have been put on Earth? Or are we just a random act of nature, being a human just because of a matter of chance?

I believe that we are born as human beings with a specific purpose. How many of you, despite working 12 hours a day or earning millions of dollars annually, are not satisfied with your life? How many of you feel there is something missing in your life, on a deeper more personal level? Yet how many of us are truly focused on finding our own path in life? How many of us are working towards becoming the best individuals that we can become?

Most of us are too focused on other people, too inquisitive about what he or she is doing or what he or she should not be doing. We distrust people forgetting that trust is a personal matter in the first place. We cannot make anyone trust us, all we can do is be someone who can be trusted. Yet, many people abuse this privilege in the name of relations, in the name of love or simply because they themselves are not trustworthy.

I have seen and heard so many people say they love someone and that person is all that matters to them in this world. These are the same people who end up taking away more in the name of their love, rather than contributing through love. These are the people who are only focused on others rather than being focused inwards and striving to find their connection with their existence on this planet. Since they cannot look inward or connect with the limitless source of nature and god, they bind to another human through the connection they term as love.

Love is meant to foster both the receiver as well as the giver. Even as parents we often love our children in the wrong way. For many parents, their children are just a source of entertainment. They will make them dance, sing and perform strange antics in front of strangers just to have a good laugh. How would you feel if you as an adult, was made to do the same thing? Would it be that hilarious then? Is this your expression of love?

"I can give my life for you". How many people have you heard say this or know people who think such thoughts? I bet one too many. These are the same people who don't value life, who don't value the gift that they have been given. That's why they can give it away so easily. That's why these statements mean so much to them. Sad part is, they expect you to reciprocate with the same shallow statements and feelings. I would rather fill a person with more reasons to be alive than hope that he or she will give their life because of me!

Strange are the ways of men and women of our planet. We place trust where it should not be placed, we doubt at those who have given us their unconditional lives, we make the same people cry who make us laugh and we blame someone for no fault of theirs. We fight with the ones we love just so that we can be at peace our self. Just because we are human.

I am sorry, to me, being a human is much beyond all this. It is a matter of connecting within and with the ultimate source of all power in this universe. Its about being happy with yourself and what you are doing. Look into the mirror, into your soul before you look at what others are doing or not doing to you.

Find your peace and path yourself. Don't blame others for who or what you are or what you think you are. Remember, its your life. Only yours and no one else's.

There is no love


Does love truly exist? I mean 'true love' the way it is supposed to be? Judging from the people on this planet, I have come to believe it is merely a myth, like the lost city of Atlantis.

I was a firm believer in the power of the human mind and the power of unconditional love. Love in its truest form only knows how to give and not to demand. Love fills the world with happiness, beauty and energy. Love is supposed to bring a smile on your face, even when staring into the jowls of death. Love is like being connected with God, through a direct high speed link.

We humans are so overconfident, so full our ourselves that we fail to notice that we have turned love into a sin. A personal weapon that we use against the world and especially against the people we say we love. We no longer love, we just use it as an excuse to pump up our egos, to feel important and to show to the world that we are a caring human being. The love that we think we feel, allows us to put up a facade which shields the world from our true inner motive and self.

When we are in love, we say that we can die for that person. Seems so funny that we are willing to die for the one we love, but at the same time we mistrust them, make them cry and belittle them with our insignificant self centred thoughts and actions. All in the name of 'Love'.

The real sad part is that we have convinced ourselves that we are doing what we are because we love that person so much and its for their good. When is betrayal, mistrust, petty thoughts, tears, sadness good? When is it good to rob an individual of their peace and happiness? To steal a smile and replace it with tears?

Love is an excuse to feel important, to fill yourself with stolen energy and happiness. The next time you tell someone "I Love You" look deep within and see if you really mean it or is it just a weapon you use to gain power, to feel important and to be happy yourself. No matter what the cost to the other person or to the world. Think.
