Ever increasing "Boundaries"

Imagine when our Mother Earth just evolved from hot ball of gases, the only boundaries that existed were "The Waters" that separated huge continents. Then as the time passed the large continents got divided into smaller continents and islands, still water the only boundary dividing them.

Came the time of animals, who divided their own regions and protected them; to today's social animals "Us" who drew and broke land the waters in finer, finer and never ending boundaries. We all have evolved from the same raw material but just with different form and shapes; especially "different colors", the root cause of so called "Apartheid".

What do we call this ever increasing urge of drawing new boundaries Law of Nature or Foolishness of Social Animals?

Whatever be your opinion, I am questioning the very need for passport to travel from a land to a land separated with boundary. Nature has always taught us to be together and we are even being together, are getting separated. Take an example of jungle, where every part of it has a well defined role and is a perfect actor. Nobody is a side actor in it; All are in leading roles. If one actor vanished, the whole jungle will vanish slowly, so is the beautiful cycle of nature.

We human beings, The most intelligent animals, using the brilliance have even drawn boundaries in our own countries, where people of one state hate people of other. Not so far is the day when you will need a local passport to travel from one state to other!

When that wasn't enough, we started forming colonies and colonies fought with each other, yet another milestone. And now even neighbors are not exactly neighbors, are they? They are tormenting creatures that live by our Home. Gone are the days when neighbors used to be next relatives. Today's neighbors are gossipers, anti-social elements.

I would praise the serials like "Tarak Mehta ka ulta chasma", which encourage love between neighbors. The thing to understand here is that we are all different but yet same at the core.

Day by day we are changing and are living in our own Sandbox, where no one is welcomed. Please get out of it and start loving everybody, hypothetically every particle of Nature. Praise the grandeur of it, Flow with it, Consume the positiveness and shun all the negativeness.

Lastly I would say is don't believe in "We the Indians" and start believing in "We the Humans". Honor the difference and embrace it.

Stop drawing Boundaries!!!

I was inspired for writing this article from this incidence: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/ignore-thy-neighbour-as-the-new-credo/1/214116.html?google_editors_picks=true
