Humanity is lost

Essay on Humanity in today's eraLiterature

1. HUMANITY IS LOST!

World! A wonder made by God to be cherished till the day of our last gasp. It may replicate
heaven to certain extent! Why did God create human in it ,to destroy it?
There is a huge debate over whether ‘God made man or Man created God’. I personally believe
that we look for God when we can’t find answers for its survival. And religion is all that Science
cannot justify. Now coming back to my question, I think, this world was only for those, who can stand
for themselves. Those who learnt to strive and struggled hard, just to come out of there society in our
history books and to be remembered Legends like Alexander, Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison,
Galileo, The Spartans, Leonardo Da Vinci and many more. All these greats had a thing in common,
their will power.
Let us assume that God has power over everything, but he gave us our senses, a body and
a heart. He gave us a soul which keeps us alive, and most importantly the right to chose how we live. I
am a firm believer that “Life is what you make it” and God knows things way better than we do, so he
created men like us with one pure thing, free of all rules – Humanity! We never see this but the reason
behind promoting peace, struggle for independence, Fighting against injustice, are all subset of one
common factor, we are humans. If we make mistakes or lose temper, we say “After all I am human”,
but if we do something supernatural, we will still be a human being.
What is Humanity? We keep talking about this over and over again but we simply can
never understand the best definition that fits our ideology. Walking on a bitter night, shivering in your
comforting warm jacket, you see a beggar sitting on the footpath, freezing due to cold, You are
tempted to help that guy and lend him your jacket and help him out. You return from work, tired in the
evening and you watch news about a girl being gang raped, or a country fighting for its Independence
from a king and politics around it, you wish you could do something, to change things, but your efforts
go in vain. These are the best ways I can define humanity in a practical life!
A verse in Qur’an where God says, “you should come to me the way you were born, pure
from evil and dirt, like a baby, and Of course you have to return to me, and who knows better than
me!” The Idea of death being certain strikes us when we are over 60, but it’s too late. We start praying
more, which is useless in my opinion.
The humankind today won’t let you a penny if you ask for something. Nobody cares to
act for a good deed. Money, Power, Strength, are our primary objectives. You never stop for a stranger
who needs help. there are certain factors for, which I call excuses. Those who still go by the old book,
and live their life like a human, I salute their will I want to tell them “Thank you for not saying no!”
Today, if you take a look around, you will be irritated by how this world revolves around the rich
and how you keep blaming God for everything. You are forced to take a deep breath and accept the
situation as it is. The prime focus of the people today, is to live and live longer, which would have
been Live and let live in an ideal world. Politicians, Officers take bribe as if it is what they live for. We
are losing the grip on what we must have treasured- Our biggest plus point. We value a 10 rupee note

2. more than truth and are too busy in caring for ourselves and we are proud of how selfish we can get, at
times!
We have no respect for elders, we love to go with the flow, we have no time for our
parents and we never really do care about anything but ourselves. I genuinely believe that if there is
still humanity somewhere on earth, it’s in kids, by the grace of God. I have to admit that I fall in the
same category of losers who care not to care about anything. But I apologize to God when I pray and I
say “God, make me Human – Amen.”
