The hammer rose up, his hands were mere means. There was a pause at the top, pause that raised expectations of a beautiful fatality; and the hammer came running down right on the back of the pig's head! The pink pig squealed, it's last anguish on Earth; it's youth draining away through its slit artery.
I hungrily watched the video till the end and then calmly clicked on a cow slaughter video. I went on like this for about an hour, surfing through various animal murders until I felt a deep urge to watch human slaughter. The age we live in, the Age of Information provides us with every luxury one can dream of. Thus, in front of my eyes, a man was butchered on the streets of Iran!
It is at this point that the realisation hit me. Violence is addictive. I have always been a firm supporter of peace and non violence. But I never knew the true flair of violence. Given our upbringings (covered in the civilised veil of education), initially violence feels like a repellent. But it's all abput sitting through the initiation process. Then, like all deep secrets of science or arts, the deeper truth gets revealed. Human beings are meant to be the most violent creatures on the planet. An animal can only become advanced if it knows how to score over other forms. We are the smartest and the most cruel life forms. But unlike other animals, we were different. Nature, on the process of creating diversity, made an exceptional choice. She created us. What is so special about us? We think God exists only for humans, we think there are aliens just like us out there somewhere, we basically are deluded. The specialty of human beings is that we are our only competition. Unlike other life forms, nature pitted humans against each other in the race for survival. The more advanced an animal is, the more violent it has to be. But this is a game of cheques and balances. Nature supposedly mistook the optimal level of smartness to be ascertained to us and just poured in cruelty along with grey matter.
And this is where, everything went wrong! Humans figured out that to keep on existing, they would have to let go of violence. But they also made out that this non violence has to be directed only at themsleves. Ever since, Mother Nature has tried to eradicate the chaos of humanity from her universe and yet have not succeeded. Human beings might be easily wiped out someday or it just might be that creating us was an experiment gone horribly wrong. Humans have always figured it out.
It seems that Mother Nature was the real Frankenstein!
