We are no less than animals here! I beg to differ Mr. Bagla.

Just because we live in a world where we can use all our senses to UNDERSTAND what the other means does not take this away from us at all. In fact I believe that we are still primitive inspite of our intelligence levels, we cannot understand what the animals want to say to us!! But in the same breath I must say that animals understand US better! Thats why a DOG can be a pet but a MAN cannot!

You know its a classic paradox! I will not in any way say that we are superior to animals just because we have the capacity to do better and think better! In fact we invent medicines and tranquilisers darts so that if we are in the territory of where the animals dwell, we need protection NOT THEM!! They are just natural and happy in their habitat. We invade their homes, they do not! Is it because they are afraid of us?? No in fact if we see a lizard in our own homes our first reaction is FEAR!! We are primitive they are not!

We are not just animals ... we have the capacity and possibility to rise in our consciousness and become enlightened Beings

... and so we have to eat, sleep and procreate in moderation to elavate ourselves to higher elevated super conscious and enlightened beings ... !

SO we the humans , the enlightened beings , so conscoiusly , for centuries immemorable , have continued to innovate , create , conquered the vagaries of nature ( though fortunatey still some remain ) spanned the seas , measured the suns and the stars , reached moon . But only to exploit them at the end of the day for our man made needs and greeds , an thus today we stand after having polluted the environment almost to a brink of an irreversible stage and are now struggling to find answers to How to live in harmony with nature and envionment around us . Poor , lesser mortals i.e. animals , have fared better than us at least in this context .

Who can understand better than your goodself Sir , being an expert on Sustainable development and Environment !! Isn't it ??

We are civilized as opposed to animals. In water, big fish eats small fish. In jungle, powerful animal eats weak animal. This does not happen with us since we are human being with sense of humanity. Every live thing in this world eat, sleep for their well being and constantly getting better life. If we see the history, a man is developed from monkey and monkey from ...... and so on.

Being a man of passion, the good things come first.  A good experience is not using your holy river of life, with the thought in mind that now you are creating Saraswati and Ganga, but rather the other side is something to be cherished.  Same holds true to good food and good wine, a good smoke, or a good movie, or a few great cover drives, or strong flicks off the wrist - to watch a ball sizzle through the grass, or the late low square cut with the ball travelling inches off the ground at full force.

Champagne, the bubbles bursting on the tongue, burning a gentle fire in the belly, leaving a great taste around as you wash down a good lasagna with the minced stuff.

and then back to work, the mind and body, relaxed, the spirit free - creating new gameplans, why not do this in this manner, why must i continue doing this in this manner.

A gaddha I will never be - sher buddha hoyega to bhi sher bankar hi marega ... lekin ghaas nahin khayega ! I pride myself in whatever I do, this is my SHAAN, and my PEHCHAAN

So if it is words I need to weave, it could even be my own Haiku !

Lives lived

once or several times in a lifetime

maybe a one time death or

a thousand deaths every day

counting breaths and holding on

knowning not which is the last

but alive to choices

and being the ONE to choose

which to leave]

and which to live

The human spirit can create and procreate every moment of ones life

u decide in your black and white

what colors u want to paint ur life with

We not only do all this to lead a good life, But some of us want to make the life of others good too. They are superhumans, most of us may think but that is not true. often we see we are loyal to our company, our society and we do things without expecting something in return.

We sometimes want to create a better world too through our action.

I agree 100% withMr Bagla.We are human beings with a well developed brain.We should not preffer to live life like animals who just live eat and die.We have the power of further creation,to achieve real happiness,to achieve our goal.We are not meant for just live ,eat and die,We are here to make this world more powerful,more comfortable,more peaceful full of livelyness.We have to find our spiritual happiness too which animals can never achieve.We should realise about our capability.Thats our ultimate goal of life.

I agree with you Mr.Bagla.I think that is what differentiates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.We definitely have a better set of faculties when compared to the other animals along with basic necessities like eating,sleeping and procreating.These have helped us to see all the progresses and ofcourse the downfalls in the world and learn from them.I would like to give a small example-when we look for a job at a certain stage in life when money is 50% of the need to work, why is it that most of us also want to have job satisfaction along with good pay?When the money we earn is giving us good food,is giving us a better bed and good security to sleep and when we are sure that we can support our offsprings(which by the way  most other animals don't think of after their offsprings learn to live on their own) then why are we looking at something else that we know is going to provide us with joy that is above all these material things?This is just one case but it definitely proves that we are not living just to eat and sleep but living to find out ways to live our life in a better way.
