We are here.

We are here. We have been here for a long time. We were with you through out the history; for thousands of years. Though you search; you search in wrong place and you never see us. We are the survivors of our planet, just as you are in yours. Peace is important for co- existence. But we do not expect much from you, as we have seen how you treat members of your own species. Such brutality is not common in a civilized species, but what do we know? It might be an indistinct process to control the population.

We reached your planet millions of years ago, when you were not what you are now; not physically; not psychologically. More precisely, you were not superior to any other species on the planet. Our planet was not much different from yours. You have understood the resemblance to yours in size and shape but you know less about it's previous state or the exact current conditions.
Water I assure is not as scarce as you think, in the universe. You have defined a range suitable for life, which centers the earth: your home. You can not be more mistaken. The planet you have assumed to be in the edge of life range did indeed have life, even before your own planet. You might not have added us to the edge if you had known how we were millions of years ago. The range would include other planets as well.

We never destroyed our world as you do now, but we were nearer to sun than you were. The rapid climatic changes were too extreme for us to adapt. The neighboring planet:you, was there to save us. At least some of us; selected specially to colonize your planet. As civilized beings we always respected your advancements and never did we interfere. Your achievements are completely yours. Your technology is yours. The path you took is your own choice. We mingled among you unnoticed as long as your kind remembers the sun. We saw you stand up to look far across the grassy plains.
So, do we look like you? No we do not but you think we do. And you will think so for ever. But there could be a day you try to improve your thinking in a different perspective. You will stop looking at others and start looking at your self. Then you will understand all the illusions you have been filled in. On that day we will fail to hide any more and be forced to reveal our selves. But the way you think and 'prosper' makes us believe that we are safe in your planet for many more millions of years.

Humanity , Racism and Individual

After the ending of the war, racism, Sri lankan, humanity are so commonly spoken words. So, is speaking about ones own race racism? The common approval by the higher authority is to think as Sri Lankans and not as individuals from what ever the race you are born to.
Is it bad to think as a race, why is that? If we identify as a hierarchy

Individual
⇓
Family
⇓
Village/Town/Province
⇓
Race
⇓
Country
⇓
Species-humans
⇓
"Earthlings"- living beings from earth
⇓
...

It goes for ever till it reaches the point defining whether we are matter or Energy. So now is the problem identifying ourselves between the 4 ^th or the 5 ^th node? How about the others? So if we are always going to identify ourselves as Sri Lankans, are people in other countries something very different from us? Why stop at that specific node? What is the specialty. It is true that we have some differences in each country, when it comes but what is common is higher in extent than what is uncommon.
It is believed that civilized societies are rejecting cannibalism. But eating other animals flesh is not rejected at all. In the contrary: its encouraged(at times). The tigers(4 legged) do not eat their own flesh but other animals. What is the difference between us and the other animals. We do not approve eating human flesh only because its is of our own species. Humanity is spoken only because we are in the human species, so what about the other living beings. What is so different between us other than the other animals. We speak about humanity as if it is the best thing, only because we are humans.

Finally it comes out that we are just some self centered creatures. We start thinking from our selves and try to go up the hierarchy to some level. Some stop at the level of the individual, they are selfish according to others. We love our country, our school , our species only because we are in it. Not for what they are. Therefore all of us are selfish, the difference is how much space and thinking scope we try to define as our selves.
People cry when their loved ones passaway. How much tears are actually shed for what the dead person has lost and how much is for the loss of the 'crying person'. Are we crying, because the dead person has lost some thing or because we lost the dead person? Would we cry the same if he/she had not done so much for us. We are self centered to the extreme. Racism or Humanity or the special affection for the people of the same village; what ever the point we stop at is based on us being in that group, not the specialty of the group it self.
Humanity, racism just depict the points at which most of the humans reach their limit of thinking scope. A reason to specifically identify an individual to either group is not clearly defined. If it is not good to introduce them selves based on the race; it is equally bad to identify them selves as a person of a particular country as well. The reason for categorizing people based on country to be superior might have been the earlier difficulty in traveling between countries(specially if you are in an island). And the differences in environmental conditions might have made us look bit different from each other.
Finally what ever the category of organisms you try to fit your self in to, it could be concluded that we are a selfish group of beings only interested in our own survival and the support services for that survival .The importance of the group is entirely dependent on the difficulty in isolated survival.
