As we dig the pages of history, we can clearly can find out that in our era we raised the question about humanity, where is humanity? More than the past times. Why are we in such situations? Shall we doubt the track in which our civilization is moving on? or DID WE MISS SOME IMPERATIVE POINTS IN OUR LIFE LESSON?

When I hear the word humanity, then my mind in return asks , " where are humans ? There are no humans so let's not talk about humanity." Let us track human from the begining of our times to modern times with some parameters that are associated with humans.

Civilization

We evolved from cave man to modern man. At older days ,after abandoning caves we start to live in organized groups where we needed culture, traditions, norms, values, language,. With time, these became the fundamental bases for the construction of laws. When laws were created then it started to governed the society. With customary principles there arose the body to monitor it, which forced for establishment of guiding institution. This is how we evolved politically.

On the other hand, we came out of cave, we started to live in groups. At that age, a man with stronger arms and astuteness was given a high respect. But with time, people started to gather property which impacted on society to experience the status difference between the constituents. This is how feudalism started. Whereas in eastern culture, racism started. This is how dominance established in the history of mankind.

Western world focused their lives with economically where eastern world chooses to stick with politically aspect. For economic, society was divided on the status of people with the parameters of economy, where elite class were always worried about their status. And in eastern world, people started to create groups, this groups were founded on the basis of common identity , race, Creed , religions, origins. This is one of the reason that eastern people have nepotism in their bloods. Dominance with discrimination on the bases of race, Creed, language, religion etc over-ruled the society in political track whereas dominance with discrimination in the property indicators overtook in economic track.

But after 16th century, capitalism evolved in this way which suppressed the economical and political track that western and eastern world was titled with. It was the point that both economic and political perspectives converges at. The world which sees the humans as economical and political entity found a way to safeguard their goals in the shadow of capitalism. This is what made the world that is in front of us.

Everyone here are goal oriented ones, besides their goals they don’t have any other lives. They see life on the basis of goals which are guided by some set up rules which we have been practicing from ages. No doubt, the two world came at one point but what did it cost?. We humans paid our humanity to come to this point.

Eastern world which is rooted on identity based society uprooted itself or tends to hide itself in the shadow of capitalism. This can be clearly felt in our society, elite ones of lower caste people don’t have problem in arranging their marriage with upper caste. People feels, time is changing our society but in reality it is no other than capitalism. If society have to be changed then why higher caste male don’t arrange marriage to poor lower caste people?, such activities are not seen in our society. Though, people of low status don’t have problem of caste in marriage. This proves discrimination is not in process of eradication but is in the phase of changing itself to new form.

Social norms and values

With the born of a baby, it gets chained that are linked to social norms and values which results adhesion with the lineage of family tribes. With lineage everything have to be accepted religions, traditions , customs , cultures , norms, principle positions and so on. This is where we suppressed the quality of being free man. We make the baby to be as we want and put restrictions. This is the phase which makes to drop down the liberty of being free.

Liberty is freedom in choice of how to live.

But, when we are born then we are enacted with identity. Identity is linked to constraints. It comes with restrictions. So to have freedom we have to drop down our identity. But we need liberty with identity. This is the controversial point and we have been hypnotized with this .

Humans is one which enjoys the liberty.

Thus, from the birth, our society puts efforts to kill the characteristics of being human by imposing restrictions, in a simple words restrictions are in form of identity. And these all what are gained or implanted within us by the society doesn’t have anything to do with nature. They are just the ideology of the people that lived in past. Consequently, we are filled by the hallucination and out dated ideas of dead ones. From which we can conclude that we are no more humans but is just a empty vessel filled with brains of dead ones.

Religion

Buddha quotes,” THE WORLD IS FULL OF SUFFERINGS” and he suggested Eight fold path to overcome this SUFFERINGS.

At the time of Buddha, the environment wasn’t as it is now. There were less population, mostly following tribal practices, and economy was overall guided by exchange market, money wasn’t used commonly. At such milieu, he may be predicted how is the world? His theory worked perfectly but now there are shift in paradigms, many things had been changed. His theory is out dated to this world now because of this changes. But still we follow the same ideology. Not only to Buddhism, same things goes for all the religions. With the change, people also evolved but we are forced to follow the old ideology. Time want change but society, religion want to be static. With these conflict between the time and society, today we are in such a position, to ask , WHERE IS HUMANITY?. We mutated ourselves with the adoption of different positions but the religion want to remain at the time of past.

With the conflict of changing time and this lineage of identity i.e religion caused a humans to be medium for the experiment of old ideology with modern man. This is also one of the reason for the extinction of humanity in our times.

Behaviours

Ultimately, evolution of civilization that drives social norms and values as religions , customers practices, traditions and the consequences of evolution are reflected in the behavior of a smaller entity i.e individual ones.

No doubt, the world wants to remain in equilibrium with the balance of good and bad people. I am not going to support the fact that at our times bad people have suppress the good ones. Our mother earth is there to make balance between dark and light.

So, coming to behavior we must not focus on their actions because it leads to static nature of evolution, but we must see the principle positions and focus of the individuals, What are there center of focus?.

As we begin from the caveman, with a long spam of time people showed a courage to live in open fields. Coming out to open fields people begin to experience new changes / reforms in political as well as in economic sectors. When there was imbalance between these two sectors i.e one dominance over other resulted to world wars in search of solutions. Immediately, cold war followed along with proliferation of arms and ammunition and rapid development with exploitation of nature. We broke the limit and discovered the way of utilizing power of atoms. We saw the rise of U.S.A and fall of USSR, at the present scenario China emerged so rapidly that many started to experience the shift of powers from west to eastern world.

If we dissect our positions, which are the reasons for our actions, then we can make them to fit in two category

1) Past oriented

2) Future oriented

Past teaches people to detachment where future makes one to attachment. In older days, people actions were governed by the political matters in eastern world and economic aspects in western world. Politics is always related to past orientation where as economy is associated for the betterment of future. Western world was balanced with eastern.

But at the modern times, both politics and economies are entangled in such a way that it can’t be separated. It would be convoluted to talk about which one is political? And which one is economical?.. Nowadays , people does politics for economic objectives and people do business with political objectives. Both are linked in our days.

From the perspective of astrology, our world now is a dragon with tail and head without body. Which is why we feel controversial world. No doubt, nature’s driving forces are the conflicting forces between two differences. But now, there is conflict within a single body, no need of another body.

Humans are associated with civilization which is the source of social norms and values , religion , behaviours, and ultimately the prevailing laws. As we clearly see how we have loosen our humans characteristics with the shift in paradigms. Consequently, which surges the question of humanity in our times. In a nutshell, We humans have put our efforts in search of paradise but in reality we moved closer and closer to fool's paradise. We aren’t humans anymore . So it is not relevant to ask about humanity ?. First, we need to be humans to seek humanity. Otherwise, it is not relevant for animals or machines to seek humanity.

Thank you for your time.
