HUMANS, as they call themself-the most this race and introduced ‘UNITED NATIONS’
advanced species. What kind of advancement
is it, that teaches them to drift apart? Rather
than growing together, they are being
destructive to themselves. I account 510.1
million km2 of area for about 8 billion people
which approximately gives 64 m2 per person,
which I believe is good enough for a person
to live. But still out of no common sense, this
‘most advanced species’, made borders and
divided me in such an unjustifiable manner
that they need to fight even for their survival
sometimes.
For past century I saw an era of colonisation,
which in turn took a million lives, led to a
thousand wars and even two world wars. And
above everything, nuclear explosions. This
would be the only species trying to destroy
their own kind.
Who introduced these borders to them?
I didn’t; sea has no lines-water flows as it
wants; wind doesn’t stop according to their
fences; sun falls as per wish; trees grow as
they want. Then why have they introduced
borders, for their children can’t grow freely.
India, where you belong to, has a history
going back in the scripts that says that they
untied the whole earth at a period of time
but now be it 1947, 1965, 1971, 1999 or
be it 2022; they have also been involved in
just protecting what’s their own and not into
uniting everyone.
In 1945, after the massive destruction. Few
people came together as the smarter ones of
as a common flag for all. I thought that was
the first step of them going back to humanity
but it too didn’t work out as it was supposed
to. We still saw wars and borders. Although,
not everyone is out of their mind, a group of
few people who shared their borders, came
together to act smart and formed a union
among themselves, called ‘THE EUROPEAN
UNION’. These people stand under the
same flag, belong to the same race and act
like what they are ‘THE MOST ADVANCED
SPECIES’. "
This is what mother earth had to say about us
but there are a few opinions I’d like to share
as well; I too have lived a life over 20 years
and I’ve lived experiences of a war going
on for past 75 days and public genocides.
I aspire to become an army officer but not
to fight over some imaginary lines, I want to
become a warrior for our own self, fighting
against the negative elements of the society
and not fighting against a loyal and very
skilled officer who was born a few kilometres
away. I choose not to obey the restrictions
someone else has put on me, I want to travel
different parts of the world by my own will;
I want to see the beauty of Islamabad, the
arts of Beijing, architecture of Barcelona and
every part that fascinates me.
‘I AM HUMAN AT FIRST, HUMANITY IS MY
RELIGION AND IT DEFINES WHO I AM’
