The Human Race: a curious case of mistaken identities

We are humans…………..and we are nothing without our world. We think and we contemplate and we seek goodness because we live in a world…………..a world we created. We get our identity from our world or else who else will certify. We can be the self proclaimed dudes but who are we to flaunt then?  We are someone because people see us in that someone’s form. Otherwise alone we would be an animal and nothing else.

We get up every day, eat, talk, work and then sleep and usually in the vacant times between we never realize how our lives are changing by things beyond our control. From being kids to grownups we see the world change and old things get older. But if we dig deeper mankind has come a long way from the tree climbing primates to hard headed lemons (humans). I don’t see the absolute necessity of animals with brains like ours in the food chain in earth. We almost eat anything that’s not poisonous and nobody eats us and our survival strategy or I should say prolonged existence strategy is to seek every resource on the face of earth and destroy ( after it has been used)………………  long time back all man had desired for was a cave and a few berries to relish upon. Then necessity dawned upon the sinned men and invention dawned upon the doomed mankind. Thousands of years later we still need those things but we need money to pay the price and we need a job good enough to pay the money and we need an education outstanding enough to get that job. We are called men and we think and we are a part of a system and a large scheme of things they say. Where does our system get us other than taking us far for our own nature?
Do you see how complicated your life is? You sure know about your natural instincts as a human but you probably are more conscious of your obligations as a social monkey. When we go out meet with our kinds…………we aren’t aware of our self but our image the world perceives as real. We spend years polishing, educating, training and feeding the false image and our real self goes along like the unattended step-son. We all are hiding behind a false over-rated (blingy) identity and that makes the world in a total identity crisis.
We grow up and we have to be human++ or else no money no identity and we would be a pest on the face of earth. We have to have education, ethics, civic sense , common sense, monetary sense, oratory sense, diplomatic sense and a lot more……………. Then we stick our identities up on our nose………….I am the businessman, lawyer, tailor, janitor………………..
We have myriad varieties here…….. the business man is doing his business but gets in the bureaucrat’s way………………………..the governor is doing what he should but it’s getting in the students’ way……………….the industrialist is doing what he ought to but it’s getting in the farmers way and everyone is getting in everyone’s way. And this all becomes a fucked up economy. What started as the system to uplift human race became a game, a race to an undefined height. We don’t have the need to join but still we have the urge to win. And not getting in anyone else’s way just wouldn’t do. But why? Isn’t it all about the berries and the cave? You say you need order to regulate the evolved monkey circus, you need a system to control it, monitor it, optimize and mechanize it. And see where we are getting. No don’t look at the moon we just stepped on, look at the earthly grounds…….was it how god made it?

It all began to make the mankind survive longer and now it all will end by pushing earth to its doom. But who is at fault? Mankind? As we grow our civilization also grows. We still are naïve. We haven’t identified the purpose of mankind. I don’t say I know the answer…………….
It’s a question for everyone
What is the real identity of a man?
What is our purpose?
I won’t ask why we need the world…but why the world needs us?
