What is mean to be Human?

Often you may come across or heard people saying be a Human or expressing their inward outcry by saying isn't there a humanity among people when witnessed the evil happenings in society.  it is postulated by folks that human is considered to be the sacred of all living beings but was never given a thought of what is meant to be a Human. Who can show the best example of human or the role model to point? In other words who has witnessed that person in this world and found to be the impeccable human being without flaws. If asked a generic question to people who is your role model, people may say SachinTendulkar,  or any famous celebrity from cinema industry, Politics, entrepreneur's etc..

 But folks has  failed to understand or think of the human benevolence. With my little understanding I hardly see a person who was praised and recognized by the society for the benevolence act in the society  besides Annai Theresa. Our country and world has recognized her work for the poorest of the poor and the sacrifice she made. No Christians was hardly recognized in this society after her, whilst there were many people who are living a sacrificial life which is camouflaged in this society. Graham steins came all the way from his comfort home land and burnt alive in orissa but none came or come forward to raise voice against the evil doers nor the society protested or demands the government for justice. But when nirbhaya was raped in delhi in the moving bus at midnight,  it caught the attention of whole country and  protest was heavily made demanding for justice at 2012 and the scars are left in society hearts till now.

I always wondered why there are only some death cases given the utmost priority and others are not. Who decides the sensitivity and priority, does the importance is given by the nature of death a victim may fall upon? If so how the types of death are classified.. If one is persecuted and tortured to death then is it considered to be the highest value in society. If that is so, aren’t we invoking a moral law in ones mind and heart which differentiate between good and bad/evil. Then it calls for a questioning what is good and what is bad/evil.  The good and bad needs to be differentiated by the basis of moral law, when we say moral law then we posit a moral law giver which is none other than the absolutes source one can end up.  And the moral law giver should have  no beginning or end which is none other than Jesus Christ.


If one needs to find a perfect Human being in this world then it is the lord our saviour Jesus christ who gave himself as a ransom for our sins to redeem us. Romans 3:10 says there is none righteous , no not one, there is none who understands;… There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts4:12. if you want to understand what is meant to be human then the perfect example stands is Jesus Christ. Read the bible before you preconceive something and draw to a judgment . Oh taste and see that the lord is good !

99 Fools & 1 Wise Man

This generation likes quantity and not the quality, likes the temporary solution and not the permanent, likes the appearance and not the virtue, wanted to be rich and never longs for peaceful life etc.. We fail to understand the consequences of every choice we make. The ripple effect of the choices will terribly exploit our future generation.  It is not suffice for one person to be honest and wise but need to bring all those into our shadow by preaching/educating them through awareness. That’s why Jesus said; go preach to all nations about the gospel which is good news. What is good news that’s the question and how to preach? There are many ways people would get influenced in this society, the current trend is media and entertainment has heavily possessed the thoughts and minds of the people, not allowing them to think outside the specific context.

Seeing and hearing are the highest impact source of medium, one can choose to exhort people through writings, personal dialogue or through conventional meetings  but the current post modernism world do not want to be exhorted, so it is good to lead them into the right direction or to the truth by living a model life of goodness. Here comes the next question what is goodness and who define it? The present world is a very counterfeit culture and everyone has the rights to comment. If you see the social medias are inundated with lots of information. So you could see piles of information inflation through the social media and entertainment and other various forms where people are loaded with tons of information on every field not knowing the foundation or the beginning of the subject. But they tend to talk and advise people one another through the accumulation of knowledge. This shows the lack of wisdom where they invoke knowledge or apply knowledge in wrong areas and timings. Time and again it was proved that wisdom is the one which will guide where to apply and invoke the knowledge. Nowadays people are knowledgeable but heavily lack wisdom and thus jeopardizing the society.

If you see through the magnifying glass to read the every thoughts of people,  it would unfolds they do not have the subject knowledge but their understanding are based on blind faith. For example a person living in a urban area will comment about the NASA scientist that he is wrong and doesn’t know anything. The present culture does not give the permission of the author of a book to interpret but take it for their own rights to interpret and understand.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way but the folly of fools is deceit.

Isn't it imperative to know that we live in a world where the majority chose the broader way and fewer choose the narrow way as said by Jesus Christ? The earth and sky will be passing away but his words will never. What if there are 99 fools and 1 wise man living in a city, wouldn’t that city call him as a fool of the fools .so it is the need of the hour to understand the differentiation of fool & Wise, Knowledge & Wisdom and how are it is being measured? Only when we are on the side of dependency of truth we tend to speak right else distractions are there to deviate and get deceived.

 It’s time to ponder on the truth ?

You shall know the Truth and the truth shall set you free!! - Jesus Christ.
