We all wish to be like everyone else, treated equally and be given equal opportunities. Yet somehow we tend to stand out and want to be different from everybody else or believe that some of us already are. We want to be safe and yet want to be free and wild. We want to forget things, people and yet somehow we cling on to their memories. Humans are such complicated creatures. Ever wondered why?
Maybe not all, but some of us surely do think about it. Humans like all kinds of feeling. They want to feel pain, pleasure, fear and misery. They need excitement, enthusiasmas well as agony.They need desire, the desire to want more and more.However it’s never enough. Nothing ever is.
We help others who ask for it, but inside we all know we do it because it pleases us. It makes us feel good to help someone in need. Thinking realistically it’sselfish, no? Truth is, we all think of ourselves from day one. Ever wondered why?
No matter what you do in life, what rules or norms you follow, we people are always biased because we are inclined to the things we believe in and there is nothing wrong in it. Because if we don’t follow, we are considered black sheep, someone who is an outcaste. Nobody wants to be left out all alone. But then again, we discover ourselves in solitude. So what do we really want in life is up for question. Ever wondered why?
I know I have left you all with many queries in mind but its something each one of us has to figure it out on our own. I don’t have all the answers but I think, we humans are still learning to be humans. We are still figuring out what defines us, what limits and delimits us. We are still unraveling the greatest mystery of this world, the human nature.
