We are like clouds

Vertically accumulating cloud. A sight to behold.

We justify things based on facts, experiences, tradition, and opinion. Sensing what is what and what is not is what we normally do and deciding whether they are or aren't is what we perceive. Facts is everywhere and we need to abiding with them.

What I learned this past few weeks is that being factual is indeed important but being HUMANE overrides everything. Facts will never be broken but having feelings towards others is what we need. In order to have harmony amongst everyone, we have to learn how to be socially likable without compensating our identity and personal stand.

What is the connection with the cloud?

Clouds are actually condensed particles of water present in the atmosphere drifting with the wind and eventually will precipitate and fall back again onto the surface. Thus it is a cycle. If done with the wrong proportions, it might trigger storms. If done properly, the endpoint will be a beautiful rain. 

Life is a cycle. We are born, we grow old then we die. It is the grand design. It is a fact. Thus it is easy to be human. As we grow old, we try to make our lives meaningful, now that is complicated. It is hard to act human.

Like clouds, human follow a cycle. Both have a starting point and an endpoint. Like clouds we drift to the flow of life. Like clouds, EVERYONE IS A PART OF A BIGGER PICTURE.

A single cloud has a significance with the cycle of water. An individual means a lot to its society. Both drifting and yet both are magnificent works of the grand design of Mother Nature.

Always move forward

It is not a mystery to most people why ants move a lot. They do this because of the necessities in life. Notice that they cant move in a straight path when alone. It is because they are blind and they need to constantly find traces of their comrades. Though marginalized by their lack of sight, they are gifted with the blessing of sniff. Thus, they move forward!

People can learn many things from ants. It is given that we have flaws all over. These flaws may not be in our physical self but also even deeper. But we are designed to conceal them through our strengths. WE CANNOT BE PERFECT BUT WE CAN BE COMPLETE.

The Creator is indeed good. He created us with weaknesses. Thus, we are forced to be better to compensate on what we cannot do. Weaknesses is the driving force of EVOLUTION.

Survival of the fittest

Indeed not very true! Not all powerful survive. Being powerful is the the key for survival. Constant change and development is. If we all think that we are equipped with everything to be able to live and remain in 'good' condition then we are just fooling ourselves and we will just drive ourselves mad in the process. We should bear in mind that if we stop learning and developing ourselves, we will also stop our very essence of living. Being humans entitles us to be in constant development. 

At par with other creation, we are indeed the most advanced because we constantly advance to the next level. That what makes us humans. 

Like ants who have set goals for the colony, whether to collect food or to migrate to another colony, and constantly moving forward regardless of their flaws, Humans must also strive to get better every single moment of our lives. Although we lack in something one way or the other, we also have stuff that other beings don't. All we have to do is to discover our strengths, learn from our weaknesses and be in constant motion-MOVING FORWARD!
