Man - The Animal

I thought I must post a few pointed observations for you to ponder. I would say enjoy the truth, but often enough, the truth may hurt...

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- BUT several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbour as himself and cuts his throat if his theology is not straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe. The higher animals have no religion. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste...

"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it."

We disrespect all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the scope of our list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to annihilate his kind. He is the only animal that helps to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth.

He is the one who goes around saying that the world owes him a living; unaware is he that the world owes him nothing; it was here first.

Finally just to add “Man is the only animal that plays the ape to his ideal."

Light More Light

Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that’s been our unifying cry, “More light.” - Sunlight, Torchlight, Candlelight, Neon, incandescent lights, that banish the darkness from our caves to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerator, Big floods for the night games at Cricket stadia, Little tiny flashlights for those books we read under the covers when we’re supposed to be asleep.

Light is more than watts and foot-candles. Light is metaphor. Light is knowledge, light is life, light is light.

I am happy, just because..

Some things are done. And these cannot be undone.

Throughout years I have become what I am. I would like to think that what I am is not just about what I am now, but what I have stabilized to be. But, it is not always like that. I am a constantly changing being. Everyday I surprise myself with things I say and do. Everytime I seek to understand if there has always been something I hid deep down inside and something is always bound to push it out of me.

We shape our own perception of happiness. We remember our sense of happiness based on moments that stand out amidst the chaos in our everyday life. Whether it’s in the shoes we wear or the earth we walk on (or the shoes we wear vs. what shoes other people wear), we can always say “I am happy, just because”.

Am I really happy??

Hope

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.

There is a saying by someone that Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated, we need only take a deep breath and say, "Yes," and hope will reappear.

So hope for the best!!

Thoughts - worth thinking

"What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A thought can be an extremely powerful presence in one's life; something that molds us into who we are (or think we are) as well as the kind of life we pursue. However, a thought can also be transient; a momentary idea or reaction to something that is easily replaced by something else.

We can only think one thing at a time, and unless we are sleeping, we are always thinking something. This is what gets us in trouble, but at the same time, it is also what gets us out of trouble.

Our mind is never blank - we are always thinking something. From the moment we open our eyes, we begin to think. But what are we thinking? When we think negative thoughts we will speak in a negative tone. Infact we will speak what we think. Our thoughts can change our life for the better.

We will produce what we are thinking about. So, think nice!

Is life Unfair?

I think life is unfair to some people, alright to others, and great to some. There are some great people I know that just cannot get a break in life, and just keep getting hit with one thing after the other, and then there are those people that are basically sociopaths, that just keep getting things handed to them on a silver platter, and don't have to struggle for things.

There are murderers who's family and friends stick by them, even when they are in jail, and have maybe even confessed, and then there are good people who just don't really have anyone.

Is life unfair??
