Put your act together and be a human being.

I was watching nature of things by David Suzuki, it was about the arctic wolves. A single female found a den to give birth to her five pups, unfortunately it was in the territory of a large wolf pack. Long story short the pups were killed and eaten by the wolves while she watched from the distance but could not do anything about it, they were wolfs pups but were killed by the wolves. Tough, after all, it is the nature of things.

That triggered the thought of bombing on the enemy countries, a person can watch the whole family gets wiped out yet he/she can’t do anything about it. What is the difference? Is this our nature of things? If it is when are we going to evolve from it? After all we have been claiming that we are better than all other creatures for thousands of years. We are still entangled with the social crimes against each other and we have been killing each other over the differences of color, race, nation, religion and even sexual preferences. Who are we? And why do we think we are better than others? Is it our education? Or is it our nature? And how can we step higher on the ladder of civilization so we can stop killing each other over our differences.

Millions of years of civilization, and in spite of the evolution in all other departments why can’t we over come these human animalistic short comings? Does it relate with the data installed by our belonging groups as we grow as an individual, or individual and personal preferences related or our personal insecurities?

I am going to stay on the wild nature of things and give an other example. Its a common seen in the wild that a bamby is eaten by the wolves, cheetas or lions, the mother fathers or other community members have to run to survive the day.

The biggest problem they have is that they can’t fight off the predators and that is the nature of things, but the helplessness is so immense that it can’t be ignored. We can just shut it out with our intellect by saying they don’t have the comprehension so they can carry on with their nature of things.

Now picture a bomb falling from the sky and kills ones whole family living in a village somewhere in some far land belonging to some enemy nation. The whole crime of that innocent family was to belong to a group whom is at war, whether they agree with that war or not. When you can’t do anything about the death of your family or love loss, it is just like in the wild we have to put up with it and carry on as if nothing had happened. Next season you can get an other set of pups or a bamby, thus the life goes on in the nature of things.

As human individual, there is a lot more knowledge and understanding though, especially when there it is a matter of love loss.  Human beings can envision and have the ability to carry on grudge and take revenge. One can blame and put him/herself on the path to avenge and make the predator feel the same pain of love loss, because we all know or at least should know that the  love loss is the greatest pain there is. So the game of war is on you kill mine I will kill yours, but who really is at loss?

The humanity is at loss, and it is high time we evolve form our nature of things. If you feel the need to kill the pups, you need to evolve, remember that the pups belong to humanity, if you are making sense to yourself as a group and justify your actions, you are like a pack of wolves. Remember with your compassionate nature, you are able to feed the hungry in far distance lands as well so it makes you an evolving human being.

Just look at the human evolution in all other departments, compare to everything, emotionally and spiritually we are still in the wilderness, killing is still going on but interestingly its not for the food and the feeding of the off springs or personal survival like the predators in the wild.  What do we have to show for our civilization after millions of years evolution? If we are not eating, but still killing our own kind, that makes me doubt and question our civilization, are we going to the right direction especially with our modern weaponry?

There is a similarity of pain in the love loss, whether you are a wolf, deer or a human being, the only difference is that as a human individual, we can feel other’s pain, we can understand wrong is wrong and we all should know that we should not do something to the others, what hurts us. Compare to deer and wolves we as a human individual have a personal say, in everything we do, so speaking against political and revenge killings is and should be a matter of human rights.

The times have changed, swords and spears are not in fashion any more, when you go to war you can’t just kill the opponent who is ready to kill you. These days, you usually kill the innocents whether you are a suicide bomber or a drone user. Today belongs to nuclear and chemical weapons, so if you want to kill each other you should make sure you are fighting over some thing clearly understood and it does not harm the innocents otherwise it  is a spiritual crime and yes even if you are fighting for your religion and nationalism.

Put your act together and be a human being before your religion or nationalism, if you don’t know humanity as a whole you don’t know spirituality regardless of the religion you belong to. If you can’t, don’t or would not agree with me, you have out of control sense of belonging to a group which is one hundred percent political and yes even if you believe in your religion being the right one. Shoot for spirituality if you want to live comfortably in your skin, your belonging to religion or a nation before spirituality would rob you of your personal sense of  justice.

If your nationalism and religion preaches you that you somehow become better than others by just belonging to it, think about the politics and the facts of life.

You are alive and breath the same oxygen as others do, you can breed and have perfect children with each other regardless of race and color, you can donate organs, give blood to each other regardless of the skin color, if you look for the genetics you all pass the test to be a human being, and if you want to dig in a little deeper you are made of carbon, there is no difference other than your personal character. What makes you better than others, is your compassionate character and spirituality, not religion or nationalism nor the skin color.

If you personally believe that you are better than others, you automatically are labeled as a prejudice, and if you are proud of being prejudice, you really have to put some spirituality, instead of theology in your daily living.

I am not talking to all the people of religions, nations, races or even gender collectively, I am calling on all the individuals, one person at a time, because the key to solving our problems and the causes of our problems, is the deformed sense of belonging. If your sense of belonging belongs to a group of people but not to the humanity as a whole, it is high time that you evolve to usher the humanity in the next level.

The groups are not going to let this happen because they lose political powers, so it is up to the individual to decide personally. This belonging to a group of people philosophy has not worked regardless of thousands of years of civilization. It actually has gotten worse with the help of  the political arms of the religions, and it is not going to work for the better, unless we as an individual, take the next step with the leap of faith. It may seem such a far fetched idea but if you use your free will all the time, you already are a CEO of your life, so being a CEO you can’t let the general rules of belonging groups to stand in your way to keep you personally from evolving. Today’s evolution is calling for equal human rights, so when you stand for your group which is hell bent to make you commit spiritual crimes of prejudice, wouldn’t you want to question to them about the equal human rights. So put your act together and be a human being before you are being a Muslim, Christian, Canadian, Pakistani, black or white.
