World as I Think

Now, I got an opinion, Not that I am forced to, not even for the heck of it!
I am getting bored by this stance of human plight!

If you are asking me, if it’s wrong to get people killed in the name of race, caste, religion and innumerable distinctions this human race has created. YESSSSSS! My heart has equally wept for those souls. I don't do it just for Tamil-Lankans, I feel the same for Kashmiris, Bosnians, Shias or even Americans. Nothing to do with the Dravidian race just because I incidentally bred from them!

If you ask me on personal level, I would want such people who kill others in the name of identities to be scorched and smeared to death, but I am going to be more practical and align myself with the behavior outcomes of animals and their affliction to territory!

I belong to the camp that we are all animals and survival is the almost core principle of life!

Territory refers to any socio-graphical area that an animal of a particular species consistently defends against conspecifics (and, occasionally, animals of other species).

Behavioral ecologists have argued that food distribution determines whether a species will be territorial or not. Territoriality will emerge where there is a focused resource that provides enough for the individual or group, within a boundary that is small enough to be defended without the expenditure of too much effort.

In English, this means that I would not share my territory unless my resource needs are full filled or secured not only for this generation but also for the future to come! It is not about just food, we would not share power or any other resource with a non- identical group. What applies to Tamils in this context also applies to caste based identity and even family based identities.

There is no amicable egalitarian solution to this animal problem unless amnesia inflicts the Lankan brain. A cease fire is only a process of creating a bigger bang in the making! The non-identical group needs to accept that the land belonged to the incumbent powerful group before it was infiltrated by the former and try to live a second tier life or make a least resistance shift to a territory where it has enough sustenance!

I am not willing to buy the argument that we are evolved apes with six senses and need to be more humanitarian. I am sorry, I have never seen anybody who has reduced the greed and accepted to live a life which is less sophisticated. Neither have I seen any body who has given more emphasis to the non-identical group (read non-family and non-friends) than their identical group. I have not seen anybody who share an apartment with a complete stranger or given away the resources to a non-identical group when their group is at abyss!

By the way, I just thought of the 30% of India who are below the poverty line and living a slow death and we damn a care about them when we accumulate resources for our family. May be, our senses are attracted when it fast and sensual just like our masala movies.

Do I hear you right? HYPOCRISY. I am one tooooooooo!
