A Persons's Musing


"ALL OF US ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE THAT WE ARE SMARTER THAN  ANIMALS AND CONTROL OUR LIVES ; BUT IS IT REALLY THE CASE? 

I have been working in my father's cattle farm since last 10 years . The moment a cow or buffalo gives birth to a calf is a very special thing.When  the newborn popes out we keep it close to the mother so that a strong bonding is made between the two . These calves are very vivacious,as soon as they are born they try to get up on their legs and  start exploring the world.

                                                                                                       But always a peculiar thing happens, my father ties the calf with a rope and all the efforts made by calf are in vain . It tries hard to break the rope, make futile attempts to be free ,falls, rises and finally being exhausted stop making efforts.I don't like all this and one day I asked my father,''Why do you tie the poor calf with rope ,why don't you let it be free ?

He replied , ''Dear if I will not tie the calf with rope it will realize it's power and once it will realize it's power we won't be able to control them ''.

His statement forced me to think if this is the case with animals this can also be the case with humans. From the time we are born people put restrictions on us and tell us our limitations,stops us from pushing our limit and a rebellious child is eventually converted into pre-programmed moronic robot who acts according to rules and regulations. "You already have been programmed ,but you have an option to uninstall it and reprogram your brain"
