Humans are very much human
yes, and it sound obvious. :)
we do lot of rat racing, we fight like dogs , we look for scapegoat but still are very much human. whatever religion, breed, class, race or country we do segregate our self. If things don’t work as we wish, we blame for the easiest escape, blame one that has high probability to do so.
I remember the day in Hyderabad (India) when one of my roommate had arnd 1000Rs ($20) missing from his wallet, and we blamed our house maid, in and out. Didnt even gave it a thought, that they too have self-respect or conscious. Bcoz she was the most probable one to do so.
Don’t we all work on probabilities or averages too much, with no humanism involved.
if a bike and pedestrian met an accident, whom to blame .. of course one on bike, he must be rashing on bike at high speed. Do we ever bother to listen whether the pedestrian was doing his crossing properly?
if a merc and small car collide, we blame merc straight, claiming loudly that this rich fellows never cares for small cars. If its communal riot we favor our community. If its a theft we blame poor, because they are the most probable to do so.
By the way, I got my lesson pretty soon, which prompted me to write something like this. When I moved out of India to work for a firm in Cyprus, One day my security manager called me and gave me shock of my life, that I have a serious charge against me, imagine what ? some gals have seen me playing with their purses during an office party and later they found some 10 ~ 15CYP (~$40) missing from their wallets, moreover they claimed they had evidences as well to support it, and that’s how they could identify me with my name. I was helpless, and had to wait for police investigation. Few days later, they took back their charge, after inspecting the pics they realized the guy was wearing some green color shirt while I was in white. It must have been very easy for them also to blame indians for this, we are from a poorer country, and that make it very obvious and logical.
But are we different, they blamed me and I uttered, it must have been some Bangladeshi.
"As humans are very much human" and no way close to "being Humane".
