Why is that, we tend to
compare an unsocial and uncivilized human behaviour akin to the wild animal?
Salman Khan may have
popularized 'Being Human' catchphrase and he may be laughing all the way to
bank by the fat royalties his cool T-shirt overnight sensation have earned
him. Still, I don't expect him to be
rational with his words, since I know what's he is upto, thanks to his recent
100-crore hit!
But why do we think animals as
the quintessence vigorous and volatile manners when one can find similar, or at
times, even higher degree of furious and vicious temperament behaviours, that
even wildest of animals don’t exhibit, in humans, then why do we need to refer
to poor animals for every unmanly deed we see?
In my perception, animals are
far more developed and advanced than we could ever be. How?
A vixen (female jackal), never
ever teaches her newborn how to survive, for the record most of the hunting
carnivore species in the animal kingdom do the same to their cute newborns.
It’s like natural instinct to these infants that enables them to manage, adapt
and survive in most fearsome of the environments full of foes and predators
waiting for the right moment to drop by.
Anaconda forgets right after
giving birth to their children and they too wander off in the wilderness even
without getting to know who brought them into this world! Can a normal human
imagine being on the receiving end of such a start?
The hunting instincts of
cheetah, the fearsome authoritativeness of lion and intimidating presence of a
tigress, these are all derived…naturally! Although many wildlife shows airing
on Discovery/Nat Geo do tells us that a leopard teaching her cub the art of
hunting, however in reality, she’s just laying down the premises of what we
call real life training that too at nascent age of 1-2 years.
The intelligence level of an
average chimpanzee is same throughout the hierarchy of his descendants or his
antecedents. No one is less or more intelligent, all are equal, as a result you
might have never heard about animal suicides.
There are no caste/creed based
feuds in between them.
Humans got themselves weapons of
all kind for their protection but these animals have their instincts as their
prime shield.
Just because we can invent
things (animals can as well) and are living in a world where we are the deciders
what next shall occur and who shall have the authoritative command, doesn’t means we are superior in any form to animalistic
kingdom.
Being human is so passé..., my
next T-Shirt phrase…BEING ANIMAL!
