Evolution in Vain

We come to this world by pure chance. Live a life that was built by people who came before us. And then we grow up to live under long shadows of prejudice they had left behind, because it’s easier than to float over it. We look at people- made of the same ingredients as ours, conceived the same way, nurtured on the same soil- and we divide others on what imaginary being they pray to, their skin color, or the language they speak. All that because we believe in being smarter than nature, that we have a more profound understanding of things than others. The truth is that it’s not our knowledge but the coldness of that shadow that leads us, and we- just mere organisms with little time in hand- forget our true purpose here on earth: living. So little time we have to try so many ways of having a life, and we pick the ones that limit our existence. Just how that doesn’t seem silly to us?

We wake up, defecate, eat, work, loathe, reproduce, dream of better days when asleep, and repeat. In the process of echoing the moments, we forget to go to bed as a better version of ourselves than the people we had woken up as. Will there come a fine morning to wake up under the light: no shadow, or bloodshed over religion, or division over choices? Because, the generation, that doesn’t leave the world and humanity in a better state than it had found them, is a failed one: evolution in vain!
