Humans

Nothing has ever intrigued me more than the way humans do.

We are fascinating creatures, complex yet the most simple of all.

If there is one thing which I have been able to understand about humans and human behavior  is that we all are unique and yet we all are so very similar running on the very same few basic rules of survival.

Few of which I want to compile, these are entirely based upon my observation of people;

Primarily, I see all of us need validation and appreciation for the work we do, how much ever trivial it might be. ALL OF US want to be noticed and acknowledged, it’s a major driving factor towards better output and bigger targets. Yes, even more than money many times. Ever wondered how happy you make your mom just by saying you enjoyed the meal she cooked?

Secondarily, people want to belong to each other. We evolved and formed society for a purpose that was to stay together, to belong to a place, a region, a country, a religion which we could call ours. No one wants to be left alone.

And lastly, we all need love, care and attention without getting judged, be it men or women, old or young, we all crave for people to express their undivided love and care to us. Men many times would shy out from such analogies, but then I see small little boys clinging to their moms for embraces and caresses and understand that as they grow it doesn't dry up, they just learn to camouflage it well.  J

We are divided yet we are all the same. Hungry for validation, love, care, attention and belonging.

Here is my favorite on love, life and hope J Haaeeeeppyy reading!
