HUMAN  BEINGS


               Us human beings tend to have self-centric view of things. At one time,  we thought 

our earth is the center of the universe and that Sun, moon and stars revolve around the earth. 

Copernicus in 16th century, based on his systematic observations, established that contrary 

to our belief, earth and other planets of the solar system revolve around the sun. Bible 

proposes that humans are special creation of God, quite apart from other animals. Charles 

Darwin exploded that myth and showed that human beings evolved from other animals and 

they share a lot of biological features with other animals,


               Based on our group identity also, we tend to adopt self-centric attitudes. Each 

national group tends to develop a sense of superiority. Americans think U.S. is the greatest 

country in the world, British carry a special pride as land of English People, Indians think 

they are number one as far as spiritual development is concerned. Hindus think theirs is the 

highest religion, Christianity is supreme according to the Christians, and so on.


               All of us need to be humble, while widening our horizons and learning to treat all 

human beings as  equal, sharing brotherhood, as part of one  large family.
