Civilization

We all are brought up in a civilized way. Now it is long time back that, our human race began to live in a civilized manner. A civilized society is deviation from actual natural way of life. A natuaral way fo living is where the motives of human behaviour is purely nature driven.

In fact there is always a natual way for any human being. We say "he is silent. it is his nature". Here by nature, we could actually mean, the nature that is around us. There are qualities which tend to exhibit itself in a human being without any effort. That is nature. A natural way is not enforcement. A natural behaviour is a free flow. Being natural is the true freedom, where you dont force yourself to particular way of life.

Somehow, human race found a necessity of getting civilized. Decided that we need a way of life which is superior to natural way of life. So, gradually the food habit, shelter, daily life etc., started changing. The growth of civilization was not particularly concerned with nature. It was all about, extracting natural resources in as many ways as possible. Until recently, our society never gave birth to environmentalists.

A really logical thing to dicuss would be, what should be the final motto of civilization. What a civil society should be benefiting by being civilized than being purely natural being? What is the gain of nature in enabling men get civilized and leaving rest of creatures as it is. Many times I feel that, it is so natural for man to get civilized. Blessed with so much of intellect, human race ought to be something different from what the other animals would be. But what difference would have been the nature expecting from man when it gave extra power?

Intelect: was it the manifestation of nature to know itself? If human race evolves, isn't it the evolution of nature? When, man is part of nature, how can it be that, his creations are unnnatural, while he possesses all these powers as a gift from nature.

May be all these natural imbalance are indication that, human race, is not in a way to get what exactly it wants. Or more appropriately, present population is full of confusion as to what exactly it wants. Leave about the human race, no one is confident about what should be the final motto of life. There are so many unanswered questions in day to day life of every human.

Lets try to construct like this: How an ordinary man means to the whole human race? We dont know, the one who has created pot for the first time in the world. We never know the one, who tasted boiled wild animal for the first time. Human race has silently grown for thousands of years. But most of the useful gifts to our world is from anonymous people. Today you find a new trick, a simple one and adapt it, gradually whole human kind will enjoy its usefulness. The whole culture is built up with small acts followed in reasonably simple situations.

What might have been the motive of artificial way that humans started to live in. Why does an animal become a man after a long evolution and a man become a civilized creature(back to creature again!). The motive might be to get rid of all those dangerous creatures that live with him in his natural habitat. What might be the reason, the human started cooking. A change of taste. The original purposes of starting a habit usually is forgot. That is why we call it a habit.

How an lifetime goal of an ordinary man's life is related to the fate of whole human race? Is it the ordinary man's attitude that we need to change, to make turn our civilization process in right direction? What are the answers we need to get before we become confident that we are in right direction? Let us rethink all again. Because, these questions are the questions of the race not an individual. First thing everyone can do is understanding his/her own wants and living for it. Because otherwise, one would neither get happyness nor his efforts would be useful to anyone else. Happyness is the key for healthy thinking. Healthy thinking can give rise to right moves in life.
