God made a man. Man made the world!
Na.. God made the world and man made a beautiful world!
Na.. God thought and man was there! Man thought and civilised world is here!
In whatever way may it be put forth, it is impossible to belittle human contribution in giving its present shape to the world. If we want to summarise, it can be expressed in just one word i.e. positive.

Let us ask a question to ourselves now. In what activities do we spend our maximum time and attention? What are our prime concerns? What issues occupy a major chunk of our thinking?
* * *
About 28 years ago, a survey was conducted on this topic. Nearly 800 young boys and girls of Europe were asked these questions. And the results were not astonishing. They listed out just five issues - Food, drinks, rest (sleep), self defence (including offence) and sex.
***
One spiritual Guru of Indian origin, when he came to know of the survey and the results thereof, commented, " Every creature on this earth - animal, bird or insect - is capable of enjoying all these five activities. In some forms of life, they are much more capable than human beings in these areas. And if we believe in human superiority in all the forms of life, there must be some other, and more important, purpose of our existence."
I find this analysis very thought provoking and transformational.
Let us start observing our thought process. Whenever we find ourselves contemplating on any of these five issues, we should remind ourselves that though there is nothing unnatural in this, yet it is not making full use of our existence as a human being on this planet. We are born for some greater purposes. Let us find them out and achieve them. We must behave sometimes as a human being and not only as an animal.
Almighty has a plan for my life and that's all i need to know!

Its tough to know that plan actually.
If everybody could have noticed the thing he has been made for,world would not have faced what it has, through years. Its really tough to reach that plan sir.

Dear Sir,
I completely agree with what you said,I would like to add that though most of the youngsters do spend more time on thinking about the mentioned topics but yet at the same time some people for most of the time and most people for some of the time also do think about the future of their country and the role they are supposed to play in that.They have higher goals to be reached and higher standards to be acheived by thinking innovatively to make their country and in turn the entire human race more prosperous.
Dear Sir,
For enjoying these five things, we humans cross our limits to such an extent that its harming us whether directly or indirectly.
Taking food as Example: We humans are fond of eating different varieties of food else we get tired of the same, for this reason variety of food is available. But somehow it is affecting us as eating maida is injurious to health , maximum dishes of fast food are made of maida as its basic bread. I feel what so ever developments made by humans to satisfy the five requirements, result in indirect disaster to humans as well as nature.

We are living in a closed environment. I mean take the example of our education system. We learn to read and speak English in our school and are expected to read and speak better than that of Americans. We are pressurized to perform better in our academics; god knows what is the relation between performing well in academics and being successful.
What I mean to say is that we are not free to make choices, choices which can certainly help us in finding the real purpose of our life and at the end of the day most of us end up indulging (doing or struggling for) in these five activities throughout their life.
sir i m chaitali jeenwal i completly agree with what u said. its depend on person mind set what to do that.
Hey Varun
I turned agonist long time back after seeing movie "Man from Earth"
We give too much credit to "GOD" i believe. But one way it is helps tht it channelizes our arrogance..
I believe the spritual guru was too quick to make a judgement.
What make us different from animals is the way we relishes food, sleep and off course sex .. we enjoy them....
animals don't cook their food.?
also as matrix kid said "to deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human"
