Just a Human Being

Just a Human Being

I was called a baby

When I was born.

I will be called a dead body
When I am dead.

I was called a baby
When I was born.
I will be called a dead body
When I am dead.

My nationality was determined
By the place where I was born,
But still, I am a baby.
When I am dead, I am a dead body.

My religion was determined
From the family that practiced it,
But still, I am a baby.
When I am dead, I am a dead body.

My caste was determined
From the family that believed it,
But still, I am a baby.
When I am dead, I am a dead body.

Every one of us came as a body—
Not with a religious symbol,
Not with a caste identity.
But we are defending what we never chose,
And killing and dying for beliefs.

When you disown
These identities,
You are a human being—
A being with love and kindness,
Not with hate and vengeance.

It is better to be called a good human being
Than a religious person or a god-fearing person.

Let us disown religion, caste, and nationality,
And live as humans with humanity,
Rather than fearing man-made gods
And fabricated religion and caste—
Which were meaningless in the past, present, and future.

Let us be proud human beings.
Human beings
With love, care, and kindness,
With common sense—
That our blood is red.

M.L. Narendra Kumar

Listen, Understand and Respond

Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
