Guess what makes “A” different from “B”
(You can take a hint from the picture above)

! “A” has an Animal inside him. !

Have u ever seen a “cock fight”? No? Take a more common example, a ‘Dog fight’? ’Cat fight’? (No, I am not talking about two girls fighting for a boy. Lucky dude!!). For those who have not seen two cats fighting, I have given a pic above displaying Lion vs. Tiger, both of which fall under the species of Cats biologically. You know what’s common among all these fights….? Either one must stand and one must fall. One lives and other dies. None of them is willing to give an inch of his edge to the other but both of them are chunks of ordinary flesh. This is their “Animal Instinct” with which we Homosapiens are much less stuffed. Saying euphemistically, I call it their “Animalilty” that they fight until their last breath. One of the most common comments I have heard since my childhood is-“Anshul,tum gusse mein Jaanwar ban jate ho”(Anshul, u behave like an animal when u r angry).Frankly speaking, I always took it as a compliment. Perhaps, of all the instincts that we humans have lost during our evolution from Apes to Homosapiens, this “Animality” is the most precious one. We, the developed counter part of Apes have developed the tendency of ‘giving up’ rather than fighting for it. It is not that I always prefer a fight or a trauma over a peaceful conversation but I’m just putting the weight over the fact that animals do have much stronger ‘will to do’. Since childhood, I have seen many people drenched in their lethargy and their unwillingness to fight and to struggle. “Arey kaun kare ye kaam,hamse ye ni ho sakta. ”. Such common words and idioms are ruling over every element of the society. If God has to make a poll of “The Most Lethargic Species”, I bet we humans will score far above than those wild animals.
Humans, in general dont have much guts, they fear even if they know they are stronger. Not making a joke of my own species but it is a fact that an ant curbs its fear much more than humans. And so are honeybees, mosquitoes, lizards, street dogs and all those ‘weaks’. A common Macaque monkey is much weaker form of life. Yes, it’s the same old little thief that takes your towel which you hang outdoor in the sunlight after bath. The same old pal who once snatched a guava from my hand while I was wandering in The Chittaurgarh Fort. But has any one of us has ever tried to fold our sleeves and go hand to limb with the monkey, without using a stick or a baton, completely bare handed? We cannot do anything except shouting and putting a flea in its ear. It is the monkey’s animality that makes us feel weak and frightened. Leave that aside, a common rat eating rotten bread is enough to make you jump. I bet rat’s anger is enough to make a human homeless temporarily. If a rat is angry with you, I am sure you will be teetering on the brink. Go and pray Lord Ganesha, that your only solution. It is the rat’s animality that I am talking about. Even a housefly maintains its trajectory upwards even in the roughest of weather. Needless to say, a lion can make us get fainted by its silhouette only (Until and unless we are sitting on an elephant along with a guard who has a gun in his hand).Fear of failure is deeply cored in the soul of humans. And here they lose they animality. Yes, I am talking to you Mr/Ms. Reader, the Chimpanzee which you saw in tv is much determined, enthusiastic, strong willed and fearless than you. Do not escape and wipe off the guilt from your hands. Humans really do not have much stomach for fear. No need to call it ‘The Wrath of God’. Call it incontinence. We just put a plaster on our face reflecting the tag of the most evolved species of the Earth. Fate of the Earth and all its proteins. A monkey is enough to crack the pillar of our much cited success story. Our tag of ‘The Most Evolved Species’ has been bootlegged. What a shame!!
A few days ago, I was watching a program on NGC based on Evolution of man. I learnt that there must have been a time 1000’s of years ago, when The Neanderthals(less developed predecessors of modern Homosapiens) had to fight an animal double of their size with a stick. They were much fearless because they knew either they must fight or face death. It is not that The Almighty has gifted us less. If nature has gifted an elephant with strength, it has provided us with our brain. It is our fear that makes us fall, not our size. Therefore, the animal inside us must be tamed, trained to fight with the stronger.. Don’t be stupid to think that each day you are going to fight with an elephant. Stronger I mean with your fear. Fear of Failure. Of Injury. Of Pain. The thing that makes us ‘un-animal’ will definitely throw us at the corner of the smallest storeroom. Fear is so powerful that sometimes we feel helpless before it. We do not realize that we ourselves the source of its power, and that we can take it back. There are people who live fearless. Not any of them is a knight with a shining armor, but their determination is their magic wand. They realize that fear to lose is not a natural part of their being, but rather a product of the mind, a fantasy that grips and destroys, nut a fantasy nonetheless. Through their knowledge and practice, they conquer their mind’s habit of creating fear. Their Animality speaks. . Once we get the iota of fear, you will feel your entire belly is dancing. Our civility must not lead to dilution of our tenacity. Your Animality must speak.
LET YOUR ANIMALITY BLAZE UP!!!!
