Are We Human Enough?

Well well! Am I human enough? Are you human enough? Lets find out!!!

To find the answer for the above question, I would like to share a few experiences of mine . Here goes the first one..

It was a rainy afternoon and I took my dad’s scooter to ride it for fun. I was a bit scared coz I was in my 10 th grade and yeah I dint have a license. After 15 minutes of blissful ride on the roads with a friend, I was brought to my senses by a big sound of a crash! No it wasn’t me who crashed, it was a couple whose vehicle skid over the wet slippery roads. All the vehicles on the road had stopped, except mine. I was so damn scared of the cops who were approaching the accident spot, what if they caught me without a license? I drove my vehicle onto the pavement to go home soon! But amidst all this panic and confusion, my friend was shocked at what I was doing! “Wait! We’ve gotta help the injured!” for which I refused outright… My friend got down the scooter and proceeded to help them….

The second incident…

It was an calm afternoon on some national holiday in March ‘08. I boarded a bus home from my friend’s place. I have to get down the moving bus to avoid a half kilometer walk, so I was waiting on the foot board for the bus to slow down a bit…. Then I saw a man walking in the opposite direction. There was something peculiar about this man! He was staggering a bit and walking at a retarded pace. I thought he must have been drunk! I got down the bus and started walking home. Dunno what made me look back, but I turned back to see what that man was doing. I was shocked to see that the stranger was on the ground, having an epileptic seizure or “fits” as some people may call it. I looked around to find other pedestrians and motorists passing by, as if nothing was happening!!! I wondered if I should help him or not, I remembered the incident way back in my 10Th grade, I was ashamed of what I did then, its time now to act appropriately! I approached the man, held his hand and looked into his eyes giving him a reassuring look.I didn’t know what to do,to stop the seizure! Many on goers stopped by to throw a look, and finally my efforts weren’t in vain.Some of them came forward to assist me [:)]. I dialled 108 and waited till the man was safely put on a stretcher in the ambulance! He couldnt talk, to thank me or the others, all he did was stare back into my eyes, thankfully!!

I can never forget that look, it always makes me feel good about helping people out. Who knows some day I could have an accident and might be bleeding to death on the road waiting for someone to help me. I’m sure there will be someone to hold my hand and give me a reassuring look, telling me that i’d be okay once the ambulance arrives! Even if I die the very next moment I’d be happy that a stranger, whom i didnt know my entire life, was trying to help me out! I guess this is what they call HUMANITY!

Now the question is are you human enough? Will you be the one to hold my hand and stare into my eyes when i’m about to die???

GOD????

Well for all those who are confused, this might be of some help. Initially I used to wonder whether is there really something called as GOD that exists, If yes where is he. Why cant i see him like i see other people or other things in this world? Why can’t I feel it’s presence? Well some people say there is a God, though it was difficult for me to understand what is God. I might be a narrow minded fool as people may call me, to question the mere existence of god. I tried out all the literature that i could find to find if god real or not, but with no luck what so ever. Well the ancient literature says that there are different kinds of gods. Different religions say there is a  god based on their literature, but what the heck? With due respect to all religions and their practitioners, i can’t stop myself having a weird notion that people might think “Harry Potter” is a god after a couple of centuries because, all they find is literature and nobody to tell them that its just a novel.

There are many notions in my mind that question the existence of the supreme being. I see many god fearing people around me, who have done very less sins when compared to me, and yet they still suffer. Why do people die? Why do they have diseases? Why do they have problems that make their lives miserable? Where is the so called god that they believe in? Why can’t he pull them out of troubles? After all they are all his followers, his best creation, his “children”. The answer is “There is no god, He is just a creation of yours”.

Now the question arises, why do people have to create god? The answer is simple, if my little human brain doesn’t know how things in this world happen, I assume it to be done by a supernatural force called god. You have an exam tomorrow, you have been horrible at that subject since ages, you don’t get good grades no matter how hard you study, then you don’t value your efforts to master the subject. For any other person who’s observing you it looks like you have been studying pretty hard so you will definitely get good grades this time. But you, by seeing your past record think that no one but a supernatural power called GOD can help you out. Just before taking the exam You pray to that god whom you have created in your mind to ease your tensions, and start. Surprisingly you get good grades this time, You will be over whelmed and think that its god that helped you out. But being a fool you don’t realise that it was there in you from the beginning, all you needed to do was concentrate a bit and study the subject properly. Out of fear of failing yet once again, you do it this time without even you knowing it, and the result is great. We fools think that its not us, its the god’s work.

This was just an example why you can tell that “God is man’s greatest creation”.After all if we don’t have faith in our capabilities, we try to put our faith in something that many people say will help you out.
