I HAVE BEEN FEELING THE PAIN OF INHUMAN CRUELTIES DONE BY  HUMAN BEINGS AGAINST OTHER LIVING BEINGS...! THE WEEPING AND CRYING AND SOBBING OF HUMAN BEINGS HAVE BEEN UNBEARABLE FOR ME..; I NEVER ATTEMPTED TO THROW STONES AT STRAY DOGS, BUT MY CLASSMATES  LAUGHED AT THE STRAY DOGS WHEN THE DOGS WERE SCREECHING IN TRAUMATIC PAINS....! THE FREQUENT QUARREL BETWEEN MY PARENTS ...; THE MERCILESS TEACHERS WHO WERE "TERRORISTS" TO CREATE TERRIFYING ATMOSPHERE INSIDE CLASS ROOMS OF MY SCHOOL..; THE PARISH PRIESTS WHO WERE "SPIRITUAL PUNISHERS", WHO WOULD IMPOSE "EMERGENCY SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE" OF EXTREME KIND, AND THEY WERE TOO KEEN TO INDOCTRINATE THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST....? THE NUNS WHO WERE TEACHERS TOO , TO TEACH  LESSONS OF TARTARIC LAWS AND ORDERS AND MEDIEVAL CONVENT DISCIPLINE, THE SAME,  LIKE THAT THEY MUST HAVE EXPERIENCED INSIDE THE NUNNERY (THE JAIL FOR GIRLS WHO WANT TO BE A FULLY TRAINED NUN TO SUFFER ALL KINDS OF PERSECUTIONS FROM THE BESTIAL TRAINER CUM GOD MOTHER(S)FOR RECRUITED NUNS WHO WERE (ARE)SUPPOSED TO OBEY ALL ORDEAL ORDERS, INCLUDING TO SHARE THE BED OF BISHOPS AND SEX-HUNGRY PRIESTS AND LESBIANS....? SUCH NUNS WERE PSYCHOS...?)I STILL FEEL THE PAIN OF NUN-TEACHER'S CANE...!! THEY WERE MY CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARE..!!! AND THEY ARE DRACULA BATS FOR ME , EVEN NOW...!!

LOVE , SYMPATHY , EMPATHY , COMPASSION AND HUMANITY WERE MY DAY DREAMS...!! BULLIES AND CLASS ROOM SCOUNDRELS WERE A MENACE, AND I HAD TO SUFFER TOO MUCH HARASSMENT INSIDE SCHOOL CAMPUS....!!

PARTIALITIES AND GROSS, AND BROAD BIAS OF TEACHERS TO THEIR STUDENTS WERE A CULTURE ..? RICH MAN'S CHILDREN HAD PRIVILEGES TO SIT ON FIRST BENCHES AND THEY WOULD GET BEST TREATMENT FROM TEACHERS...!!THEY WERE ARISTOCRATIC STUDENTS FROM RICHEST FAMILIES.

THE MIDDLE CLASS AND LOWER MIDDLE CLASS AND UNDERDOGS WERE SLAVE STUDENTS, THE VICTIMS OF SOCIAL DISCRIMINATION AND LOW CLASS AND HIGH CLASS SEPARATIONS ....!

SO , I BEGAN TO FEEL THE VIRULENT MIND SET OF TEACHERS ,NUNS AND PRIESTS....!! I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE APARTHEID, FIRST IN THE SCHOOL AND I BEGAN TO FEEL MY MIND HAS BEEN  UP ON THE CROSS OF JESUS, THE CROSS WHICH JESUS HAS SURVIVED AND ESCAPED BECAUSE THE HELP OF THE MIGHTY FATHER ...!! JESUS LEFT HIS CROSS OF MURDEROUS TORTURE FOR ME , I SUPPOSE LIKE THAT, AND I HAVE BEEN THE BEARER , AND RIGHTFUL HEIR OF HIS CROSS OF AGONIES ....?

PAIN AND PAIN AND PAIN ,AND  I LOVE TO BEAR THE PAIN FOR OTHERS , BECAUSE I LOVE THEM WHO SUFFER THE TRAUMATIC PAINS OF LIFE , FOR WHOM I LIKE TO BEAR THE PAIN OF CROSS...! JUST FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS....!

BELIEVE ME , I HAVE BEEN ON THE CROSS WHICH JESUS HAS LEFT FOR ME ...!  I HATE THE HATRED ...; I DARE TO CHALLENGE THE CORRUPT POLITICAL POWERS AND BRUTAL POLICE OF TORTURES ..; THE FRAUD BABAS AND DIRTY GURUS ...;  I WANT TO SLAP THE "DARKEST PRIESTS" OF ALL RELIGIONS...;I WANT TO PUNISH THE MASKED DANCERS OF DEMOCRACY...; I WANT TO TERMINATE THE FAMILY POLITICS...; I WANT TO ELIMINATE THE MOST WICKED  COMMUNISTS ...; ALAS..! I AM NOT THE CHRIST OF JERUSALEM ...!

IT RAINS HOT PAINS UP ON MY BODY FROM HEAVEN , I FEEL ...!AND I FEEL IT IS SO IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ACCOMPLISH MY MISSION...! I AM SORRY ..!BUT I ASK YOU WHY CAN'T WE COME TOGETHER TO FIGHT THE HATRED AND VIOLENCE AND BRUTAL TORTURES AND KILLINGS AND CORRUPTIONS....?

“Humanity”

Humanity can be defined as quality of being human; the peculiar nature of man, by which he is distinguished from other beings. Being human does not mean that an individual possesses humanity.

If you want to understand the quality of humanity in an individual take note of what he does for people who give noting back in return to the favour they have offered.

One of the most outstanding examples of extra- ordinary humanity in a human being has been portrayed beautifully by Mother Teresa. Humanity means caring for and helping others whenever and wherever possible. Humanity means helping others at times when they need that help the most, humanity means forgetting your selfish interests at times when others need your help.

Humanity means extending unconditional love to each and every living being on Earth. A perfect example of humanity can be demonstrated by the following story.

A king with a kind heart once saw a pigeon and an Eagle fighting. He possessed the ability of communicating with the birds and animals. The pigeon asked the king to save him from the eagle. The king told the eagle that he is ready to pay any price in return for saving the pigeon. The eagle asks the king to give him the equal amount of flesh to the weight of the flesh of the pigeon. Agreeing to the Eagle’s condition, the king starts chopping off his own flesh equal to the flesh of the pigeon. After donating a little bit of his flesh, he still finds the pigeon heavier. Finally he surrenders the whole of himself to the Eagle to eat. That is the moment when both the Eagle and the pigeon turn into angels who appeared on the earth to test the extent of the king’s humanity. The king is now rewarded with the most precious rewards and heaven after life for his deed of humanity.

This story can be understood as an exaggerated statement so that individuals understand the importance of humanity in their day to day lives. It is important to understand one important fact; an individual’s life is successful not by the number of degrees he or she attains but by the degree of humanitarian activities that individual is into on a day to day basis.

Serving the poor and the disabled is one of the greatest humanitarian help an individual can provide in his or her lifetime. It is essential to understand the fact that we are extremely lucky to have everything we desire at any point of the time we need. Serving the needy means that you yourself think that you have more than enough resources to your disposal.

People who always crib that they do not have sufficient facilities available despite having everything can never provide humanitarian services because if one has the mind set of not being self- sufficient, how can he or she help someone else. One is always remembered for his or her good deeds and it is essential to understand that there is no better deed than providing services for humanitarian causes.

If eating and having fun is only what we are born to do then we should keep one thing in mind; even animals can do such activity; if God has made us humans there has to be some reason behind it.

Only human beings can understand the importance of humanity and it is humanity as a result of intelligence which actually gives the core essence to human existence. You will not need a hefty bank account to contribute towards humanitarian activities. Paying your domestic help fairly is also humanity. You are willing to pay thousands of bucks for your medical check- up but when it comes to paying your employee; you want to save every penny.

Humanitarian activities should never be performed in order to achieve fame or to gain a status symbol. You can easily achieve fame by the work you do. Lifting the heavy bag of an old woman is humanity, helping a disabled to cross the road is humanity, helping your mom in doing work is humanity; in fact helping anyone who is in need is humanity.

As soon as we understand the importance of humanity in day to day life, the purpose for which we are on Earth is automatically fulfilled.
