Man, Machine, Emotions

“There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.”

So true. The last line from the movie Terminator Salvation. The best movie ever exposed differences between humans and machines. I completely agree the fate is what we make. But the fate what we are making, the trail we are leading to, the story we are writing has a horrible tomorrow. A world where will be no place for emotion, where is no place for love, where everything is mere a commodity, where exchange will the only rule. Is this the tomorrow we have dreamt of?

Have you ever thought of the difference between a machine and a human? Machine can work hundreds times faster than a human can, they can perform tasks which are beyond capabilities of humans, machines are much stronger and have a much higher caliber than a human can hold. Then what is that makes humans conquering over machines? Why machines are still slaves of humans? Why they work according to human instructions and not rule over us?

There is one principal difference between humans and machines. We humans have feelings. We are made of emotions. We cry when we are happy and we cry when we sad. But now-a-days the way human emotions work, sometimes it feels machines are par times better than us. At least they are not selfish like us. They do not hurt others’ sentiments. It is miserable when we people go ruthless more than machines. You know even a gun kills only when its trigger is pressed.

Look at ourselves friends, where we all are leading to! Our whole lives we keep committing sins, doing wrong things, hurting other peoples for our own happiness and what we get at the end? a heart full of regret, a heart seeking for just one sentence of forgiveness, a heart yearning for one drop of love. We hate a poor man lying on the street because he is wrapped in rags. We are too afraid to hug a man because he is HIV Positive? We slap a little child serving on shop because he has spilled tea on expensive suit? We leave our parents alone to die because they are too old and a burden upon you? You break up with the girl who loves you more than herself because things are not working between both you? What is this? Why is this? Are we that much self obsessed? Do we think only about ourselves? Have we gone too much blind for for the sake of our own smile that we cannot see tears of others?

Hundred questions, not a single answer. Don’t you think people, those emotionless machines are far better than us? I would wish to born as piece of some steel rather than being an emotionful but emotionless so called best creature of the universe ‘The Human’.
