Right or Wrong - Choices we make

There is just one rule that everyone ( and I mean EVERY - ONE of us humans ) follows . You can call it a rule or you can call it a practice - whatever you call it , its something that everyone of us does everyday and almost every other moment.

What is it.

It is - Making a decision.

We make decisions every other second we live.Its these decisions that define what actually we are.And its these decisions that actually are responsible for what we are going to be.

So , if its decision that defines what I am and its true that every one makes decision that why am I not same as everyone . I mean I doing the same thing as Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela , but I am no way closer to these people.

Of course , you would say , thats because I didnt make the same "kind" of decisions as they did. True.

So whats the criteria of making a decision . Very often we hear "that was a bad decision" or "that is a good decision".

What is "Bad" and what is "Good" . How does one make a choice of good decision from bad decision .

I am going to talk about making this choice at larger level.That means I am not going to discuss , whether choosing Cheese Pizza over Hamburger is good decision or not.

Lets start to ponder , how it all started . Well , initially there was earth and there were creatures.Then came humans.

There was no society , no language , no nothing.Actually , there was no God and there was no knowledge.Let me make my point clear.

What is God . Its a concept that is fed to us when we are very young , by our elders ( or society ) . How did they got , is again from their elders.And so on.So at least , these days we are born with some pre-concieved notions.I will come back to this later with more clarity of what my point is.

Same is true for knowledge also.What is knowledge. Dictionary.com defines it as "acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study".

But the bigger question - whats the big deal . I mean being knowledgeable - where does it fit in the big picture . I will come back to this also in a moment.

So , we were saying that there were no concepts initially . No concept of God or for that matter anything else. Man ( humans ) didnt care if it was Sun which running around earth or was it otherwise . So long he could hunt a deer and eat and sleep and mate , it would'nt bother him .

Time went by and man became what we are today , while the rest of nature remained as they were . No we are not considering evolution/adaptation here because that is something even humans did ( check you behind , you wont find a tail ).

Today we consider ourselves as Humans - something great (?!)
and then there are the others - Animals ( land/water/air)

We live our whole life meeting the "goals" we define ourselves . Making choices ( decisions ) to meet them . Catagorizing our goals as "the big deal" and defending our choices as "right" ( or wrong for that matter).

I believe , the following ::

" Human is just a form of animals . Just like others . And I am not talking out of science text book here , rather I am making a statement that there is absolute no differentiation for humans."

To make my point ::

1/ Animals eat/mate/breathe - live - and die . So does man .
2/ Animals have the tendency to dominate and to be a pack leader , unless otherwise controlled by natural laws . Thats true with man also.
3/ Every other animal has been blessed with a unique feature/trait.Chamaleon has skin colour , Eagle has eyesight , Cheetah has speed , Whale has size -- Guess what ... Humans have brains . Big deal ? I dont think so . They are all organs .

We are the unfortunate ones that our unique feature is such that it can actually take control over other senses and make us believe something which might not be reality.

We came up with the ideas - to explain everything around . For the inexplainable we probably said - God . I am not debating here that there is God or not . ( But really ... do you really think that if you wouldnt believe , then He wouldnt be there . )

Where do we fit in the big picture . Oh , let me say again . Where do WE fit in the BIGG picuture .

I come from India , which in Asia , which is on earth . They say there can be 10,000 earths inside Sun - thats how but Sun is.Not to mention that Sun is regarded as a medium size star and the bigger ones can take as many 1,00,000 suns or more.And there are zillions and zillions of such big stars in our galaxy . And there are probably zillions and zillions of such galaxies . Oh by the way , I am 6ft tall and would probably live for 60-70 odd years . Making a difference , I would think . But really , what difference and what scale are we talking here.

So my point is that we - the humans - created ideas blindfold around us and are living in our own world - but end of the day neither our this approach is of any real significance , nor we are going to have a different mark in history ( as compared to any other animal ) - not even a zilch .

This concept of knowledge and being knowledgable is actually our own created myth . Its like I was getting bored , so lets play tambola. You can be a looser in the game , but does it really matter . The moment you are out my house or game , you are as good as anybody .

So , to define a decision as "right or wrong" , one should keep the bigger perspective in mind .

My philosophy is that animals are still living by the rules God/nature created for them . And we are no different . So lets not pretend and make choices based on something WE created. Make decesions that animals will make . Live life like animals will . Let nature balance the things .

The moment you realize that 300 years from now noone cares about you ( and even if someone does , how does it matter - you are dead anyway !) , you will see that this pulling and pushing is worthless.

Be content.Kill only to eat not for pleasure ( cutting the crop is also killing . )

If possible live in a natural way . The bogus claims of society that you are nobody are useless because sometime from now , we all are nobody.
