We are, generally, more confused about
ourselves than we can afford to be. We judge our abilities on the basis of our
performances as assessed by a few among us. We, often, identify our intentions
on the basis of what we do to satisfy the demands made on us by others. We view
our aimless wanderings as our serious exploratory effort. We consider our
insistence on our being fickle minded as the strength of our resolve. We
glorify our selfishness by portraying it as our efforts to serve the humanity. We
willfully accept to live as slaves of the slaves, and call it our freedom. Throughout
our lives we learn from those who do not know to become self-appointed world
teachers.
We
have trivialized humanity having been overwhelmingly influenced by devastating
success of ‘Mantra of Irredemption’; that says; if you act with a desire to
achieve or acquire something for you and for you alone, something will
definitely change, and, that change cannot be undone. We have glorified the
thought that the essence of human existence lies in the man being possessed by
his insatiable desires and unbridled intellect.
We
cannot hate ourselves anymore; hence, we have started liking ourselves. But,
all is not lost. The universe and the nature, of which the man is a part, redeem
itself each moment, but the man is yet to realize it. Maybe, one day, he will.
