In my free time which i get, other than orkutting and blogging, I see this Wild Life documentaries a lot on Discovery, Nat Geo or Animal Planet. These documentaries used to make e feel, thank god i wont have to struggle like an animal. Trying to be best amongst the fellow animals to survive. You never know which side a carnivore will come and make you as a meal. Sometimes i used to dream of being in a mouth of lion and able to listen its breath. But even a lion’s life is a game of risk.As i used to see, i used to wonder why cant all the herbivore revolt against this big cats. Even when it sees one amongst the group die when a big cat catches. He just goes and grazes itself.He never thinks next will be his turn.
And its the same with a lion, if its stomach his full, even a weak wilderbeast comes in its front, it never attempts to kill it.Why doesnt it think,” I will kill it now and i can have it later”. Is this is the place where it lags its intelligence?.
Seeing all those wide varities of animal species and human beings. What makes us different? Even an orangutan which has its DNA 99% simliar to a human being, but still falls in group called animals. Whats that 1% which makes human so special.Is it our intelligence?
What about the similarities we have with an animal?If we see all the similarities, the major ones are simple, Eat, Sleep, Reproduce and Defend. Yes, this are the only similarities which we have common with a rat, dog or a king of the beast, lion. What satisfaction a hog gets eating shit in a gutter, or lion eats killing a wilderbeast, or a human eats infront of his dining table is the same.Its same with sleep let a dog sleep in a road or u sleep on ur bed. Its same with sex. And we also defend ourselves with our enemies and climate same way as an animal does.So whatever activities we are doing on this planet we are trying to make our lives comfortable by providing ourseleves with better food, sleep, sex and defend our living. Infact we are more selfish than an animal when it comes to this matters. We try to store food, eat more than what required, while a an animal is satisfies it stomach and forgets its hunger.It doesnt care where it sleeps. Most importantly is sex, an animals only purpose of having sex is to spread its genes and beget its own kind. While in our society sex is more of a pleasure, than what its actually is meant for.
All those hollywood stars we see, change their partners as though they are changing clothes.This happens in animal world too but for extending its species not for pleasure. Even in India, people now trying to follow western culture are being the same. Changing partner, intoxication (I wonder which animal gets intoxicated), enjoyment…. Well i dont know for what, where and why this amazing human intelligence should be used. For making our own lives more animalistic? Or questioning our own existence on this planet?? BUT for sure, most of the humans around are better being an animal.
