The Journey from Fear to Humanity
خوف سے انسانیت تک کا سفر
If you jump 20 times from the Burj Khalifa, it's about 2,700 feet high. Strap on a parachute and from the base platform, you'll see tiny creatures moving around on the ground below. And then you take the leap. If you have some extra money, you might skydive from the top of the Burj Khalifa at 13,000 feet. This is called skydiving. Skydiving, bungee jumping somewhere, and base jumping are happening in the world.
Our childhoods were humble. We jumped into deep places in ponds because we were told by elders, and today we tell our young ones, "Be brave, be like a lion." Overcoming fear is what makes a good lion. And these are all ways of letting out our inner fear. However, the problem lies with weak lions. They see weak people around them to vent their fear, and by oppressing them, they think they've become lions.
A lion's cub just eats the leftovers of the parents or other lions for a while. Then it has to become a lion inevitably. Hunger makes it a lion. We don't know how many hungry nights and days it spent wandering alone in the jungle to become a lion. Because a lion cannot express. It's only the genetic identification that matters. One generation cannot give its experience to the next generation. That's why even a thousand years ago, lions roamed the jungle being beaten, and today, it's the same.
We are the noblest creatures, humans. We have to make children humans, not lions. And to make them human, we have to give them knowledge and awareness in inheritance. When we give them our fear and dread, they learn to become lions before becoming humans. And to become a lion, it's necessary to let go of that fear and dread.
