Fear Not: I Am Here

We are the most vulnerable beings in this universe even after being entitled to the most intelligent ones. It's not our fault, nor that we are incapable. But we are destined to be so.

Yes, it's our destiny to be dependent on others. Not that we belong to the most neglected class of all living beings but it's the process that makes us stronger as the day passes by.

Fast forward, move back to the times you were born.

Remember? Nah, you were such an insignificant creature back then that you didn't have any functional memory. You were so helpless that you couldn't even recognize what was in front of you. Forget about recognition, you were nothing but a subject of mercy to nature. If it were not for your parents, the probability is you won't survive coming this far. You wouldn't be here to join the laughter we share in this community.

But look at other creatures. Look at those tiny fishes. They move on their own just after a few moments of their birth. Buffalo calves start running within the first few hours of their birth. The Almighty rewards them with the intelligence of differentiating friends from foe— they start running whenever come across a lion in the open field; outrun them, survive sometimes.

Ever seen a toddler doing that? No chance.

But who wins the race in the end? Who stands last to claim the bounty of God?

It's us.

After a long period of nurturing, we learn to stand on our feet. After spending hundreds of days under the protection of our parents and relatives, we learn how to act. Compared to other creatures on earth, our development process is longer. But this is just the beginning.

From the day we learn to interact, we start to improvise- not so common among other animals. With the passing of every day, our knowledge base skyrockets. It finds its path towards infinity.

However, apart from improvising, gradually, we learn to cope. We use our knowledge to turn upside down within our mind but stay calm when the situation demands so. We learn how to hide sadness with a big smile or alter the truth with a loud voice full of falseness.

Yes, that's our level of smartness. Indeed, we are the smartest creature on earth. At least as long as we don't find other beings who are more intelligent than ours; alien what we call it.

But all the smartness will go in vain unless we find the true meaning of our existence. It will be void if we do not understand who is behind all this courage, inspiration, and support. There is this one entity, the mightiest of us all who gives a pat on ur back when we are down. It’s our creator— the source of all power and reconciliation.

It’s Him for whom we aren’t afraid to move forward knowing that He will guide us as long as it’s the path of righteousness.
