Are We A Learning Species ?
I am not sure if I can share or express that we humans are a learning species ?!!
What have we learnt ?
History has shown that very little has been learnt by us so far !
As a civilisation , we are still struggling to perhaps really understand that word !!
We are just as divided as we have been !
Labels or beliefs may have changed but the basic nature remains the same worldwide !
No , we are not a learning species !!
A thousand years or even two thousand years has not changed our basic human nature !!
A good man was hanged as a petty criminal about two thousand years ! What was his crime ?
Teaching people to love , respect and care for each other ! That was his crime !
A man left all his worldly wealth and power to go away wandering to learn and understand the state of human misery !
Are we better ? Have we learnt from such great teachers ?
Absolutely NO !!!
Instead , we have created strange organisations with rules , regulations and many ways that has only imprisoned the human spirit further in an institution !
In the name of reader , religion , culture and endless other beliefs , we are as divided and confused as we were more then two thousand years or more !
We quarrel and fight wars on any flimsy reason !
Sometimes killing is a crime and at other times an honour !!
We all know that our life here in this physical form is temporary and will not last very long !
That is a hard fact that nobody can deny !
Yet , we fight and quarrel and desire power , wealth and other material trappings as though we are all going to live here for ever !!
Is that call learning ?!!
With all our smartness and intelligence we all seem rather naive in our ways of living !
We keep struggling for basics of living all our life !
We have not progressed very far beyond that if you watch carefully !
We just replace a small useful hut for a bigger and bigger hut !! give it any name , it is still a place to give some shelter ! That is all !!
If we look around , we will realise that we are just shifting things around or accumulating them for what higher purpose , I have no idea ?!
Is it difficult to learn that life is most amazing and wonderful ! It is great to love and share ! It is in caring and sharing that we enjoy and get closer and happier !
We are all just passing through ! Ever changing and temporary !
Rest is just a drama !
We are so much more then just our physical status !
Is that difficult to learn ?
It seems easier to go to the moon then to share , care and love !
All will pass away !
Has any one taken anything with them ?
Not even the body that we hold or cling to all our life !
A body that keeps changing constantly !
If we are unable to understand such a basic fact , what else are we going to understand !
No , we are not yet ready to learn !,
That will do for now .
Take care. Love.
Amar.
