MAN; A DIFFICULT CREATURE TO TAME.

While education may be a tool to guide as a light for a man to walk in the dark, it is sometimes surprise to note the tool proves otherwise. Man is a super creature on this universe that has a capability to tame and control other animals. Human beings have reached moon and places beyond imagination. Man has invented sophisticated machines and developed technologies. For instance, a man can control almost everything but it becomes a big issue when he does not know how to control and convince himself.

We harness a ferocious galloping stallion; tame giant wild elephant to work for man but a man hardly succeed perfectly in taming another man. A man also has a power to drill through a huge mountain, drive deep down to bed of an ocean, climb up to top of the highest peak in the world, etc yet a man superficially brings other humans under his control but fails practically. The repercussions of a man trying to control other men always result into violence, murder, atrocities and other inhuman acts. The world has witnessed many great personalities but yet they could not fully influence and mould the people in the way he/she wanted. Their philosophies had seldom worked in a practical world. Over the period, the world has witnessed two great world wars. The bloodiest and disastrous wars almost ended the human race from this world.

It is the ego, self centered mind set, colour, region and cultural differences that make very difficult to bring all the people under one umbrella. Practically, a teacher may teach a group of students from all walks of life but the capacity to grasp the ideas will vary. In short, what I am trying to say is “sometimes, it becomes practically very difficult to change the mindset of people who are partially or fully educated’. Though a man may superficially agree to the ideas of other man but his inner instinct over rules him. Ultimately, this results in the clash of ideas, personality, expression, etc

Person with irrational thinking will not really incline to the opinions and ideas of others. That is why, rounds of talks are convened time and again to remind and rephrase the points/ideas resolved at one point of time in the past. When an educated man becomes infamous with filthy thoughts, it results in obnoxious consequences which impact the whole society in general. If an education is a true solution to end all the violence then we need to raise a question as to why we come across violence frequently despite a good literacy rate.

Indeed, a man is a difficult creature on this universe to tame. A strong and stringent laws may be able to keep a man in a cocoon of harmonious society but he always looks for loophole in the system to do something wrong. Therefore, self control could be perhaps the best control to tame oneself to be able to suit in the civilized human society. Great books and examples may guide a man theoretically yet it is another milestone to be able to know and understand one self.
