Human Being or Being Human

I keep looking at the word human being only to realize if, interchanged it has a new dimension and meaning to the word. How true and real it seems to me.

This reminds me of an article read on Gaza war.. A sentence that read what is it like to be human? This was one of the questions the author asked. This makes me think on the same lines. What is it to be human? Actually human?
The wars still continue in different parts of the globe and day by day the lust to achieve increases thereby pulling away the need to reach out to one another. To let someone live.

The basic essence of creating a human being by the creator has vanished in thin air. What is left behind is the thirst of never ending greed, power, and importance in the name of humanity.

Is treating human restricted to providing food, shelter and clothing? It has to do something more than just that. If I look at the wars happening, the different protests, the struggle happening across the world, I find one common demand to it all.

The demand to live in dignity. The eye for respect for one another. The freedom to live and express. To dream fearlessly and see it being fulfilled.
The hope of seeing the dawn, able to breathe, to erase the dark allies and be out in the brightness.
All these in one manner or the other is being deprived either by political, social, economical, cultural, religious wars in different countries.

Wherein, what is to be done is a reverse action of what is actually happening. Live and let live when applied, gives meaning to the word human being and when the words are flip flopped , it in turn brings out the true radiance of the word Being human.

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY. This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO. The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways. We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self. It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...

The Awakening Call..

It took in a lot of effort to write this article. Not because it was difficult to write but did not know from where to start. There were so many unanswered questions that were going on in my mind. Dignity, self-respect, confidence, hope and a zeal to live life against all odds is what adds value to mankind and makes life worth living. At some point of time, all these value-adds are at stake. It makes things more difficult when it is hurt and dealt at random with no fault of the person, but is hurt due to certain horrendous acts. One of such is hurt and insulted in the recent days that made headlines which shook the entire nation. This, in turn, started getting diluted politicized on a large scale and on a personal note—became the fight of the sexes Why do we always wait for such a terrible thing to happen which becomes an awakening call? Makes one realize that the society that we live in is so 2 sided that it can take it and live with it if it goes unnoticed and su...
