Humans will only be humans.. Or maybe.. just animals!

Wednesday, April 27, 2011
In brief, we all know that humans are biologically mammals, nothing more than a complex animal. We all have a heart, stomach, arms and legs, genitals, … We have organs that permits us to breathe, eat, drink, see, even to reproduce.. So.. We're no different from the biological point of view..

Except for one: BRAIN. I capitalize each letter of the word, this shows the emphasis I'm putting. Yes, brain.. The major difference between us and those animals.. Humans have a bigger and more complex brain than other animals..
From these brains, we are able to create houses, fire, clothes, schools, and now new and innovated technologies such as transportations and telecommunications..

Are there any smart animals? I admit, yes, there are, such as dolphins and chimpanzee.. But have you at least seen ANY animals capable of doing what we've done until now? No, I don't think so.. Animals are capable of imitating us, after intensive training, but I believe pretty much they couldn't do it on their own.

Why do we have a more complex brain than others? Only God knows. But I believe He wouldn't give if there is no reason to. Therefore brain must have been an important element to us. He wanted us to use it by thinking. That's why I really agree on René Descartes' statement: Cogito ergo sum literally means I think therefore I am.

Let's start simulating with the laziest person on earth:
First, he or she gets up in the morning but hey, it's too early, cause he's lazy so he prefers going back to sleep. Now, if we analyze, the process for the person wanting to go back to bed is of course, thinking, in other words, use his brain.
- hey, what time is it? it's still gloomy outside, oh, it's still too early to wake up, let's sleep some more.
- Omg, my body's heavy and i can barely open my eyes, i'm so comfy, let's just sleep.
I am completely sure this happened once in your life, I dare to bet. Haha. Well, this happens to me all the time.

Well, I won't just talk about brain this in this post. What I wanna talk is how important it is to use the brain, in other words, to think. Since it's the only element that differ us from animals.

What I am trying to say here is how I see some people who won't use their brain to the maximum. I dunno whether it's because they are too lazy or they are just not capable to do so. For uneducated people, I don't wonder but for educated people..? Even if they have achieved university? Hmm.. I doubt it..

So far, what I have observed.. People would rather sell their looks than their brain. I do not mean literally, of course, that would be freaky! I dunno, maybe I've been raised in an environment where looks do not matter at all, coz as long as we are smart, we will be looked. Well, personally I am not pretty, nor am i descent, good looking, etc.
I am not jealous at all at those who are pretty, instead, I admire them, a lot! Surely a miracle gift from God. I really appreciate.

What I really despise is how people emphasis on looks. Girls and women should put on their make up? Why? To look pretty. Why? To attract the attention. Of whom? Boys or men. Why? To mate.
So? in the end, if it's only for mating then we are no different from animals!

Dude, seriously, we are given a complex brain by God, it is meant to be used for unfortunate people. Hello? Do you know how many people are stranded in the streets with no shelter, no food, no toilet?
Think again, if you really want to attract attention from people.. Instead of buying expensive clothes just to boast, buying expensive make ups or accessories just to show how pretty or handsome or rich you are, etc…
Think again, if you're just whining and complaining how the schedule is full, how many projects do you have, how many books you have to read and study, how many tests you're gonna face.. Think again, how many unfortunate people cannot go to school?

THINK AGAIN! There, have you used your brain enough?

Why don't you instead do something or create something useful for those unfortunate people?

Did you think or just impulsively used your instinct just like animals?
