Human .. Social Animal

We the humans are considered as social animal  but think are we better than animal ? We are better in many artificial ways but not in all ways . We have advanced brain and power  but with power comes responsibilities. Are we doing justice to our responsibilities ? No , we are not . We are caged not forcefully but by our own wishes with different barriers . I was reading an article other day on how a tigress saved a  monkey's baby and took care of the money to her best capability . But we human try to divide the society on basis of caste , creed, religion , state , language , money and so many things . It is worth thinking why is it so difficult to accept a human as just human ? 


 It will be wrong to say that education and civilization brings maturity and social awareness. I have seen highly educated people not allowing their kids to marry a someone well established from other caste . I have seen people always having time to party but never get time to visit an orphanage  . Money to spend needlessly on marriages and parties but not enough money to do something for millions of people dying because of hunger.  We blame minster, policies and many other people  around us for the situation but ask yourself or I better say if I ask myself also , we have not done our job . Education has only given us a way to pave a better life for ourselves but not a feeling to be human .


Day before yesterday I read an article about hunger . You know 16000 children die every day because of hunger almost a kid every 5 sec . It was shocking and shameful at the same time . We spend thousand of money on our comfort and waste same amount on many things which can be avoided but we allow kids who have not even understood the meaning of enjoyment to die . Shouldn't we feel shame when we call ourselves social  ? 


People kill or spoil someone's life for caste ,religion ,color or nationality but they forget that the other person is human . I am not someone like Mother Teresa nor I am excepting anyone to be like that as she was incarnation of some belief which we call GOD  and we are just Human. But we can surely break the false barrier which keeps us away from being a human . It is our generation which paves a way for next generation and we need to do our bit to our world.  


I don't carry any pride in calling myself educated or human but a feeling of shame .I know many of us feel the shame. Lets us decide that we wont  bend before anyone who tries to stop us from being a human and lets decide one day in a week or month or year I will give for those people who deserve a better life than what they are living and to those kids who deserve some love .....
