I come across a question and would like to share the question and my thoughts.
One fine day my inner self asked a question to myself “Are you happy to be what you are”, trust me I was unable to sleep that night as I am so confused in thinking the same. Well this questions has many meanings to it, if I ask this to Human as a entity then question will be are we happy to be humans? If I ask this question to myself then question will be more on my life the way I lived till now and am I happy to see myself where I am standing as per my career stage? Well to answer second question it can be a very job for some, but today I like to have a look on both the sides of the same coin for my first question. Well my journey to get the answer starts from books which is also our history, we humans had done so many good things to make peoples life easy, we have done so much of development in terms of science that it seems to be a truth that god created the best creatures on earth known as humans. Our history is really very quite when one tries to find the positive side of the story but we are really proud to be the best creatures created by god. After rearing many such books I asked the same questions to myself, my answer lies in the fact that I have to read all the books which should say real story. We humans as best creatures of god and the worst creatures! If we cant love each other then how we are best? If you go in history then you will find we humans have created this path of success over dead bodies of humans only! I really cant compare humans with any other animal created by god as per my findings we humans are the worst creatures created by god. It is recorded with golden words how son killed father and vice versa just to some money or something else, a girl killed her boyfriend/husband and vice versa just for fun, I read many such things in history books and thought what ever happened has happened and now humans has changed but even present of humans are as same as history, today also people killing people just for nothing. Well at the end I would again say that atleast I am not proud to be a human, well if you feel anything else then please share it with me, also 1st questions is still not answered we will take that sometime later.
"are we happy to be humans?" the question is too generic to answer. The definition of happiness differs from person to person. But let me try to answer the question is generic way - everything that happens has an opportunity cost. In this case if one looks at the outcome (progress like cars, mobile phones, tv, computers etc) he would be happy. If one looks at the things that would have happened otherwise (like absense of greenery, forests, simple living, etc) then he would be unhappy. As for greed and killing goes that's again side-effect of the progress and is based upon one's upbringing and circumstances. If I start describing everything it would grow too long. So in short - tts for the person to decide which side he wants to look at.
