The Candle of Life

No, today the post is not about a state, about India, about a country. It is also not about a religion, a faith, an ideology. Nor does it includes civilization. It is about the You. Today it is about us, it is about me. The HUMAN… the intelligent proud mortal in this tiny speck of a planet in this vast universe.

It is astonishing and mind blogging that once where some dinosaur roamed, I am sitting there and writing this post surrounded by the pillars of human advancement. It is not the Fire nor the Wheel, the most important discovery by the man. It is the communication. The way to lead a social life. The way to bond on a topic, on an community imagined notion. That’s what lead to rise of families, tribes, clans, the forming of civilizations and the building of big empires. The belief in common ideas is what bind us together. Because of this we play as a team, support our favorite football team. Because of the common belief people go on to great extents to protect their nation and motherland. In the process we have accumulated a ton of proud and greed. We forget about the fragile nature of our beings. The greatest rulers, the leaders, the king and the pauper all just a speck away from being extinguished. We are like candle, just a tiny swoosh of an immortal wind and we are permanently switched off from this organic rocket. True the ideologies and the ideas and the structures of notions lives by. They are immortal and picked up by a next unpacked candle getting ready to be burned.
