Vanity is my favorite sin...

Humans have often been associated with qualities referred to their greatest weaknesses also strangely being their greatest strength. Hope they say a sign of lack of a solution. Love over rides logic, passion over rides mission. Only a mortal we are. Its amazing to see that what may be regarded as weakness for a single human being gives us amazing strengths when we talk of the human race. Its this love for others, this fear of death, this passion and hope that we seen has worked wonders. Ego they say is an enemy of men, vanity their sin, but I think nature likes to work in paradoxes. Its this ego suit that keeps us from falling apart, differentiating the naked human being from an animal, giving him a reason to strive, harder and harder and harder. The great decoy "Ratnakar"was vain about his work, but when shown the correct path went on to become swami Valmiki. Being only a mortal, man can do the most courageous act possible by sacrificing one's life for a greater cause and this has been driving us as a species. I think Man has always had an upper hand on much more powerful creatures like oaks, wizard, elves and machines because we have a very strong incentive to live, and not only as individuals.

They say we are impartial. Nature brutally follows the "survival of the fittest" and I suppose we have done considerably more to protect the weak (once we realize endangerment). All evils that we talk about seem to have an important role to play here. Man has been designed to learn and grow. The path of development would be very erratic, but that is the only way to sustain development, because we can learn to fly only after we fall. I accept and love mankind in spite of all its flaws. Perhaps I am a humanist.

Man is far from being perfect. And I am thankful it is so. A perfect world would have been too predictable and boring one.
