Life itself is fleeting. For the earth is referenced to in billions of years and many references to the creator for his magical creation of forms of life, mainly the most intelligent of them of all; the human being. While the evolution of humans is something we continue to discover, we already know that life is fleeting and precious. We know that it is one life to live and whatever before or after is irrelevant. Very few human beings live up to being a 100 years old, remining all of us that the life span of any human being is just a fleeting moment on earth.

In the human mind invincibility with life and what each person makes life to be is the thinking. We are certainly creatures made of circumstances and opportunity. (We continue to prophesize on opportunities are what we make of). We throw in the conditions of life and continue to evolve into a mundane environment of what we want to look up to. Just imagine what is on the mind of a just born baby? Probably only hunger followed by nature’s call and a warm embrace of the mother. We quickly start to build our mind around (ideas) our circumstances and start to behave (adapt) to whatever they might be. In each case our daily routine and behavior revolves around circumstances. The tenacity of human beings is their ability to try and adapt to their given circumstances. In most cases a generation ahead of us will keep instilling the desire to do better, and push us to an environment less challenging than theirs. Study, work, live and have a smarter and cleaner life than theirs; and often with their sacrifices through their time, effort, resources and efforts. All are geared to make things better for their next generation.

It is natural for us to want our off springs to have better opportunities and better conditions for life. All our emotional wellbeing is typically attached to our children and what happens with their life.

From an open-air living and working only for food, only with a few people as a clan, we have grown to 7.5 billion people. The basic instincts (I believe) are still intact on human reflections. We have formed countries (keep forming and redrawing or encroaching), religion(s), boundaries, governments (various forms of them) and more over leaders. One would have to guess if all 7.5 billion humans were one single clan (searching for a term here) how life would be monotonous.

One major psychological factor that we have developed is following one more human. This not simply to follow their path of success or righteousness, but simply follow the ideology for another person. In this time and age where we have every bit of information to appreciate and understand the minute by minute happenings in the world, we still are ideologically tied to what we call as leaders.

While our history is full of people who have set notable examples of life, teachings and practices we also have a great deal of leaders who have tried to influence on our nuances of fear and future. Why we behold to any fear is really out of the observable human reaction. We are all fully capable of making our own decisions, and whatever environment we are a part of we have a choice to our own wellbeing. In 2017, we continue to behold our thoughts to others. We also look at great wealth creators give away all their fortunes to betterment of fellow humans, we also look at leaders driving their followers into things what we really don’t need to inflict on each other. So much disparity on the same earth and same world, and same human beings.
