Can anyone guess or try to figure out in what I mean by the title?? If yes,in what context!!! Well,I am explaining the meaning of human life altogether in comparison to that of all other living beings or even other non living inanimate objects(just to give a deeper understanding of this blog). For a minute,let us try to analyse the life of a 'Tree' or 'Plant'.Right from its conception through a seed till its death,it has to be completely dependant on external forces i.e sunlight,water and soil for its survival.In case of plants grown in people's homes,they have to watered and exposed to adequate sunlight and nutrition till its life ends.Now let us imagine that if the tree or plant had a mind like the human mind,what would it be going through?? It would observe humans and other animals and boil in envy to the core,since all other living creatures(no matter their shape and size) can atleast freely move about and control the objects they handle,be it farm cattle such as cows,bullocks,buffaloes,sheep,horses or any other animal,bird or insect. Trees or plants infact have to live under the mercy of both animals and humans since animals or birds make a living out of the tree as well as its settlement whereas humans wouldn't hesitate even with the slightest thought of cutting it down to make space for cities/towns/settlements or to use the tree for various products. Come summer season and the entire fury of the Sun is on the tree.It does not have anything at all to protect it except if clouds come over to block the sunlight.Just imagine the condition of this poor creature which cant even move around to protect itself.The same condition or even worse during the other seasons,especially monsoon and winter.The trees or plants in cities or towns have to bear the brunt of vast amounts of pollution from vehicles,industries,homes,combustion of waste,etc as well as the ever increasing threat of being cut down anytime, furthering the benefit of humans. Now,by analyzing the summary as given above,can anyone imagine the kind of agony the tree or plant would be going through as its entire life till death lie entirely in the hands of external forces.And worse,as mentioned above,it cannot even express its feelings to anyone or anything else in this world. Next,let us come to the world of animals.Let us for example,consider the life of an insect,such as an ant,housefly or a mosquito. The ever increasing threat of monster humans spraying ugly pesticides on them at any point of time or accidentally walking or stamping or swatting them or even killing them for fun or experimental purposes always lurks in their mind. Besides,other creatures too remain a constant threatThese poor creatures too cant do a thing to protect themselves from countless dangers surrounding them right from its birth till death. What better would be the life of domesticated animals such as dogs,cats,cows,buffaloes,sheep or horse who do nothing other than just serving their human masters as slaves as per their will.There are many animals or even birds and fish have complete freedom and liberty to move freely,but that too remains very uncertain,as a predator could strike at any moment.If such creatures had any desires or dreams of their own,would it serve any purpose????
