Primal Dilemma

 

Bare naked truth. Yeah we are born naked. Without any sense of any sort of inhibition. We just stare. Sorry…. we cry first and then we stare.

Always been intrigued by the process of mammals and birds raising their young ones. Including us humans almost all mammals take good care while growing of their kin but it is only our kind who train. Yes that madness called good parenting is what flashes in front of our eyes. An argument I had sometime back where mom exclaimed that except for human babies, in almost all other animals, as soon as the baby is born it is put to hardships. Its only in case of humans that we have to really really take care of the baby.

But I also saw an interesting documentary on how a tiger, a mother, not only protects which is instinctive bye the way but also teaches to swim and hunt and survive. What a master…  with magnificent practical lessons in mother natures witness. These cubs are actually made to train… yeah the commando training by Captain mother and thereafter they survive or they don't but they definitely train hard. In sharp contrast the human baby is initially taken very good care off but gradually the grind is left to self learning and the system. I mean who the hell wrote that book called the Art of War, definitely didn't pen his moms thoughts. The art of manipulation, smart maneuvering, diplomatic stealth and sustenance and survival in the face of competition from fellow humans. Its sex and the city and then follows self pity. But the way out is through the pantomime of emotions in this puzzle called humanity.

We are constant sailors… sailing, sailing and constantly getting marooned in the islands of our difficulties and constantly coming out of it. No one can buy the logic that its mothers love that pulls people out of trouble. Its rather our instinct and decisions which the society hones for us, makes us think cause its essential. Yes I do require my mothers veil to hide myself once in a while. Behind her love I still prepare to train on my own to survive.

Don't you??
