Breaking the Boundaries

"Boundary" a small little English word, but the meaning, so wast. When God created man kind he would have never thought that one day, the his masterpiece - the human beings, will separate themselves by so many differences.

We humans, consider ourself superior to any other living creature on this earth. But are we really ? Of course we have learned to live from mother earth and its other children. So have we learned to create boundaries from the other children. yes! I mean animals. Animals are known to mark their boundaries and fight with other who intrudes the boundaries of their markings.

So are we human any different from those ? If so what makes us superior ? Just a good brain which is capable to think. Then why don't we think in which direction we are going.

Okay, may be this is too much to say. I am no exception, I would definitely not like if someone intrudes my property. But I would not go on attacking anyone for no reason. Then why these boundaries of communism and racism.

Lets have a look back at our childhood. I have many friends back then. At that time I didn't know what is cast and community. I had friends from different communities. I used to play with them, study with them and eat with them. I never felt any kind of difference except for the difference of thinking.

But when I grew up, my parents thought me, there are communities and religions. Some are superior, some are equal and some are below us, I never questioned it. Because I know the answer already, "This is our culture from the hundreds of years, it is for our own good".

To be truthful, my religious views are Hindu, but that does not means I hate any other community or religion. I respect them all, but to me the thinking makes the difference.

I can't say the people who kills other on the name of religion are right for their fight. The religion is a way to seek god not to divide humankind into chunks and put them under boundaries.

My thinking is that only the parents who are prime mentors of kids can break this tradition. Don't put the kids into boundaries and let them break free this whole world into one big home.

If you want to bound something, it should be the evil thinking inside you. Let rest of the world break free the human kind form the border and boundaries for the Peace of this planet. Let the blood already shed in the way of peace not go in vain and let us all walk together to become one big happy family.

"Before I was born,
God told me I was going to be a human.
At that time I didn't know,
being human means I will be damned.

I saw the faces smiling as I grew up,
I thought it was a hope for a better tomorrow.
I didn't know they will teach me division,
and i'll become a part of bounding hopes into sorrow.

I haven't lost the hope though,
may be some day a new era will begin.
hopefully new blood will learn to love,
Peaceful world will be created to live in"
