Being humane

 'Being humane' is the theme of our blog today. No, do not worry. I have not run my car over some unsuspecting poor soul whose tired sleep after a taxing day became his forever sleep. Then my motto would have been 'being human', right?

Such is the society that perpetrators of such heinous crimes are considered 'hero'es still! Why, they are literally worshipped, too! In fact, I have never understood the huge fan following of film stars, cricketers, and politicians. The last of the three at least pretend to make a career of serving people. Many may believe that they serve themselves actually!

Well, personally I am of the opinion that the worst politician, however corrupt, does his/her wee little bit for the society, at least because it is his/her profession. As for film stars or players, they take huge, hefty pay cheques, and in return, is much done for the larger whole? Surely they entertain. They are paid for it, right? Yes, they do care for their progeny. But it is their bounden parental duty. Nothing much to marvel about!

What is being humane then? Well, in my opinion, being humane is accepting the fact that one can at times make a mistake, too. Being humane is never forgetting that pointing an accusing finger at others makes the other four curl back to YOU! Being humane in my opinion is not playing double games, not  using, not backstabbing an innocent person for one's own selfish ends.  Being humane in my opinion is not making every minor or major fight in to a huge ego issue. 

Being humane is offering and accepting an apology. Being humane is maintaining decent relationships, surely in the professional arena. Being humane is not hounding or casting black magic spells on someone just because that person is far superior to you every which way.

Being humane is being creative, not critical. Being humane is being intelligent and intellectual with a certain set of ideals and principles. Being humane is being able to cry as well as happily smile, not mock meanly.  Being humane is in brief being humane!
