Need, other than the basic life saving ones, is a mirage. It makes devout out of atheists, believers out of skeptics even
beggars out of kings or queens. Egged by it the world shrinks into a single
whole and corrodes the human spirit thus peeling it off to a frayed figure. When driven by
the force, reason and logic deserts the seeker making the situation all the
more dismal and abject. What all can see as sheer futile effort makes the needy turn into a monomaniac and devote the last breath in fulfilling the want. If only the
pointlessness of the pursuit dawned upon the pursuers, so much vain effort
could be spared. Life is a mirage and most ruin half their life in search of
the oasis that doesn’t exist. And even if the oasis is reached it appears
shallow and fails to appropriate the efforts taken. Is this the essential tragedy, human life must undergo for tasting the forbidden fruit?
This makes the 2-legged variety the human. Human'ness comes with its own virtues and vices. The former is called humanity, the later stands un-coined.
