Homo sapiens

                                       Yes, you got it right!  This post is about us humans.  Well, we are called Homo sapiens scientifically, have you ever wondered what we really are?  Do you remember the last time when you performed an act of kindness or showed courtesy to a stranger?  I'm sure most of you will not be able to recollect anything in the near past. The same is with me.  It takes time for me to remember when I showed kindness towards others. We have turned cold and rigid towards others.  It is just I-me-my -family kind of attitude.  This is highly deplorable.  I feel infants are far better than us adults, at least they smile at strangers with warmth.  Can a grown up think of doing this?? If she/he does he will be labelled as insane.  We have built an outer shell that stops us from showcasing humanity.
                                         Now what comes to my mind is 'why do we exist?'. A simple question but where is the answer to this?  Do we exist to exploit the planet's resources and leave nothing for other living beings?  Maybe yes, because that is what we are doing.  Nature's resources are being selfishly hogged just for our whims and fancies.  Are we being reasonable?  I know all of us are victims of the urge of living a luxurious life.  But does this mean that we turn a deaf ear against the cries of our mother earth.  We call ourselves humans but have forgotten what humanity really means.  In order to make our lives simpler we tend to hurt other life forms on planet Earth.  How long can we afford to be selfish egoists?  Let us prove that we are superior beings by doing our bit.  Turn eco-friendly and human friendly.  The environment ,our fellow humans and the myriad forms of life on this planet badly need our support.  So, live and let live.
