Legacy of Hope

Have we ever wondered why we humans find so many reasons to be unhappy about? To bicker and fight among ourselves, to kill each other, to defy the very essence of humanity and life.

Have we ever wondered when this world we live in, will end its fears and tears?
We have become so hardened these days that an unfortunate death has become a part of life, just another news as long as it has nothing to do with us. Life goes on. We carry on. We need to move on. It becomes easier each time to read another news of death or murder or war. As long as it doesnt involve us. Is this how we were all intended to live?

Yes, animals kill too...for food and survival even then only when they have to. Then they go back to respecting life and the nature that provides it. Not load a bomb and destroy thousands of life in a second.. all in the name of religious and political differences. All because we want more. More money, more power, more of everything.

We as the so called more advanced life forms have power over animals and other nature's creations. Whether to protect them or destroy. When the last bird drops dead, when the last fish turns belly up, when the last drop of water becomes polluted, are we going to start eating our cash and credit cards?

Have we ever wondered why we are living in a world so full of beauty and intelligence that even a minute cell knows its role in this existence? Yet we are not even capable of creating that single cell, maybe replicate, the most.. which is a mockery actually. There must some higher reason for this whole concept of life?

Humans are capable of many wonderful things, of love, of forgiveness, of humanity. Yet, we continue living this way, in hatred and in sorrow? It just doesn't make sense. We have the will, choice and power to decide what we want out of this world. BUt some of us play the victim while others think they know what is best for others.. when actually it is their own self interest they are taking care of.

What are we going to choose? Our children, our future legacy is going to take over the reins of world. In a century from now, each of us alive today will dead and a new generation will be carrying on watever we leave behind. What are we living behind for them. At least, some hope? Or more hatred and misery...coz no destructive life form had been known to last forever,... in a bacteria in a human body finally meets its death. And here we are.. the viruses on the face of the earth...multiplying, living off other and destroying life..
