I don't usually write a lot but lately I've been inspired to do so. I have always been curious about space, time travel and mostly everything beyond our reach. The question of how humans became a part of the universe and what their purpose is has settled down at the deepest part of my brain like a dusty old book, occasionally trying to find an answer. Some say that we evolved from apes. Others have different opinions. No one has the answer to all these questions because it is beyond the human mind. Well, what if it is that way for a reason? What if our purpose is to work our way to being human? Just because you're born human it doesn't make you one. I'll tell you why. so, as much as I love an independent home, I chose to stay in an apartment. Turns out it isn't that bad. You have plenty of activities to engage yourself in and a chance to meet new people.
I was accompanied in the lift by an apartment maid, tall, grey haired, wrinkled cheeks and a smile that never seemed to fade away. A couple of minutes later, a child of about eight joined us along with her dog. My attention was drawn towards the gold furred dog with eyes as beautiful as the sun. As I inquired about the dog, the young girl looked at the maid with disgust. To my surprise the maid was put down by the young girl for even considering herself eligible to use the lift. I looked at the dog as the maid broke down in tears. Silence filled the small cubical as she left with nothing but humiliation.
We have all been blessed with different talents, immense capability, and knowledge beyond compare. But, to use it wisely is another blessing. Love, care, and respect each other. Don't let any religion, caste, sex or social status stop you from finding the good in you. Let's all go back to the time when we saw the good in each other. The time when love and respect were the only things we knew. Let's start enjoying the little things in life, because when you do, you'll find yourself spending the rest of your life spreading happiness. Have the courage to be kind and do what is right. Make the time you spent here on earth worth the while. Help the one's in need because you'll never know when that help will come right back to you. Be human at heart, act human by your actions and be an example to mankind. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath and transform yourself from a human being to "being human" :)
