T HE PARADOX OF HUMAN

THE PARADOX OF THE HUMAN

Humans! What a paradox!
We get bored of childhood and wish to become adults, then we become adults and then wish we could return back to childhood.
We destroy our health to get some money, then we spend the money to get our health back.
We live as if we will never die and when we die it is as if we never lived.
Sometimes we move mountains and hills to get what we want, but feel less inclined to strive for what we really need.
How fickle the human emotion is! How evanescent human sentiments can be! You love someone so deeply, yet you manage to hurt him/her time and again. Your best friend of yesterday is your arch-enemy of today.
No student wishes to fail but sometimes we feel disinclined to study. Sometimes we never really know what we want until the opportunity passes us by.
Everybody wants to end up in heaven, yet no one wishes to die. Religion is supposed to bring peace, yet man has managed to turn it into a tool of violence.
Humans are one of the frailest of creations yet humans are top of the food chain. Man is the protector of planet earth yet man causes the most destruction on the planet earth.
The human mind is the most precious goldmine in the world. Yet it harbours the most heinous and criminal ideas as well.
Being human is great, being alive, consciously aware of every breath of air we take in. Aren’t you glad you are a human? Because on some occasions I can’t help but think “what if I was a goat”? Or a stone? Or just plain sand? What sort of existence would I have had? The only existence worth having is living as a human, so make your existence count for something.
