Are we Humans???



The Universe...Our galaxy... The earth...Continents...Creatures. ..Animals...brains & souls......

I would like to describe a thought I had one day... i state that it's just a thought.. a thought could be right or wrong.. A thought is not a believe.. Although at a very deep level, You will find that it all make sense....

It was a fascinating island ... like so many here in Asia...people from all over the world love to spent their holidays there.. For so many reasons that am not going try to state... but the majority of them come here to enjoy some freedom.. a freedom from everything.. from the society rules that usually control their lives...a freedom from the demands that they always have to supply ... a freedom from the irritating routine they live in ...some have a freedom from their own minds... they don't need anything to bother them....The main rule here, is TO HAVE FUN..

One day i was too exhausted from the beach and I couldn't go out at night.. I preferred to stay at the hotel, but one of our friends was leaving that day. I had to go out with them as a mini farewell party. we went out for a club. That night, one of my friends didn't feel like dancing so he told me he is going to stay at the second floor; It’s closed and the music is not so loud there. He would just set and watch us from there. i thought i should accompany him. it sounded like a good idea. am so exhausted after all. We both went and sat there where u can watch the whole club easily.

When you are dancing or when you are inside the club. you are doing something. so you don't have the time or the need to observe and think. At that moment from the second floor. I did something new. i was watching everyone..it was like a show.. a real live movie...i found myself observing the people in the club and thinking…. It was very interesting actually to watch them…

I have never had this feeling before but i saw animals.. a real animals.. not in a cage or a zoo..but all over the place.. they were not making any difference from the animals we see in the wild life.. in fact ... they were just like any group or species of animals that live together because they can only communicate with each other.. i saw a male dancing his ass up so he can make a random female mate with him…. another female was seducing a male so he can bring her food...i saw a real fight between prostitutes over an old male because he can offer them money and a place to sleep...the older prostitute wanted to mark her territory so she slapped the younger one on her face, then they started a cat fight " ;) "... the younger one called for the bodyguards ( strong males work for food ) . they kicked the older prostitute outside coz she is no longer desired from other males... i found a male hitting on a female so much .. that he was literally hitting her.. other bunch of males were physically abusing other females....bottles of drinks were crashing on the floor ... some food were thrown every where... 2 males got into a fight for a pretty young female.. some of them were sleeping on the couches and the floor mixed with the thrown bottles and food.

The shock i had from what i saw that instant made me think for hours...Like to be honest there wasn’t a slight difference between humans and animals… yea with my eyes, i saw us people.. but with my heart i saw animals... just animals trying to fulfill their desires...Food .. sex.. ...pleasure....who are we??.. are we humans and they are animals???.. or we r just a species of animals that we call on ourselves humans???.. we thought we r the chosen ones ???but why??? is it because we built civilizations ???.... am sure who ever take a look on how the bees work.. or how the ants organized .. or how the whales send waves to communicate.. he wd think they r good to go...may be we r just like any other species on earth... and because we can communicate with each other ... we made theories that we are better.... may be dogs thinks they are better... or may be eagles feel sympathy for other creatures coz they can't fly.. including my species .. Humans??? ........................................

It crossed my mind the fact that one of the Arab’s presidents, thinks he is the king of all kings. He actually throw himself a big celebration celebrating this fact. He believed he is the king of all kings and leaders in Africa. The poor old man doesn’t know that everyone think he lost it. So what if some creatures are saying “ poor humans “ ???…… You can always assume what you want from your own prospective. But as long not all the players in the game accept that fact. Then you are just in a delusion.

20 minutes.... 20 minutes i couldn't see in those people one reason make me believe we r better.. i was almost convinced that from a bird's eye view, we are all just groups of animals inhibiting the earth....it made so much sense for me at that moment.. then i came into my senses... i realized the very basic fact that you all thinking now... they are DRUNK.... you can't judge the whole human race because a bunch of drunk people...I realized that I was totally out of my mind. I know by faith That human race is in charge.. we r better than animals.. we have a thinking mind that can make choices...we can make our own future... we are civilized and we can truly take control over all the other animals..but.....

but why did i feel we r animals.. why i was so shocked to see humans acting like that...it's just one simple conclusion...... humans without there awareness is just animals…what i saw... was the most clear vision to what people is going to be like without their control on there minds... they would be nothing but animals.. not better than dogs or snakes or a group of monkeys anywhere... why am saying that? .. Coz when u shut off your control.. you just follow your desires..no limits.. just desires... no right or wrong... only try to get what u want.. like when you throw a bone out of the window.. and the poor dog just jump behind it .... It's a dog.. u can't blame a dog for following his desires.

i would like to mention here one verse in al quran, god said :

( أم تحسب أن أكثرهم يسمعون أو يعقلون إن هم إلا كالأنعام بل هم أضل سبيلا )

"al forqan". The verse show that some people are like animals, but even worse. that they don't open their mind and think.

The drunk example was so clear because it's an extreme... people kill while they are drunk.. they just follow there desires of anger, happiness , sex , food..... they are drunk.. BUT WAIT A MINUTE ...what if it was just a life style.. to follow your desires and needs without control . As long as your body satisfied.. then you are satisfied. A mind set, do whatever you feel like , no boundaries, no limits. I totally believe that it’s ok to enjoy your life, and to have some pleasure, but don’t live for that. Don’t be so drunk while you are actually sober.

One of my favorite public speakers is Moez Masoad, he once gave an example in one of his speeches that I liked so much. I will restate it here and let you guys think about it. How many times you were asleep and you had to wake up for something important and you couldn’t. May be you are going for a presentation or may be to travel with your friends. And when someone try to wake u up, u just ask them for 5 more minutes. And then 5 more minutes, then please let me sleep. I dun wana gooooo…..alot of us keep snoozing there alarms and they miss a lot. but once you are awake, you regret so much what you missed. While if some one managed to wake you up, you actually become so gratefull. Sleeping is so nice, but you miss the real life.

You would be mistaken if you thought am writing this to show how bad alchoholic drinks are.. or drugs.. it's too basic for everyone... am writing this to remind myself and everyone to be human beings. To feel the need to control your desires. Of course am not in a position to judge people. Actually no one in such a position. It’s just a very healthy habit to observe the world. You will always come to your own conclusions.

Don’t be enslaved in your body needs. tht would just make you an animal..or may be even worse.. a drunk human being.
